Summer is in full-swing and the novelty of finally being home is starting to wear off. Now that you've seen everyone and gone to all the places that you've missed, the days start to get longer. My work doesn't start for another week and I am running out of things to fill my time. These couple suggestions are activities that I have found make the day more enjoyable.

1. Read a book

There is something amazing about getting lost in a book and realizing that you have been reading for hours.

2. Color

I find coloring to be relaxing and fun. I love being able to see the progress that I make with each stroke.

3. Try a new workout

Since coming home, I am trying to find different workouts that I am motivated enough to keep doing. Switching up workout routines helps me stay active and interested.

4. Find new restaurants

This one can be dangerous, especially if your on a budget like me. I do not do this one often, but whenever you find that cute coffee shop or amazing taco restaurant you will not be able to imagine what your life was like without it.

5. Have a picnic

My friends and I often do this right on lake Michigan. It's a great way to get outside and enjoy the company of your friends.

6. Do a craft

I am pretty unartistic, so a craft takes up a lot of my time. Similar to coloring, I like to see the progress I am making and at the end you will have something to show for your efforts.

7. Organize your room

This task occupied me for days. Especially coming home from college, I found it helpful to go through all my drawers to know what was in them. This also helped make my room feel like my own space again.
