7 Ways To Bear Your Boredom

Summer is finally here. For most of us, that means sitting at home doing the bare minimum. Although there are many options for keeping yourself entertained a lot of us don't have the means, or the money, or the motivation to get off our lazy asses. On many occasions we find ourselves utterly bored. Being bored doesn't have to be all that dreary. There's plenty of "activities" that can help make your situation a little more bearable; just until you actually have something to do. I won't swear by it, but what else do you have to do? Nothing, so just try it.

1. Take a bath

If you have a tub in your house it's time to treat yo' body. Clog the drain and warm up that water. You don't even need bubbles, just sit and play with the water, mix up the stuff you have in your bathroom; be a toiletry alchemist.

2. Paint your nails

Go full-fledged Picasso with that nail brush. The nail is your canvas. Paint outside the lines. Be daring, get those fingers involved.

3. Completely rearrange your entire bedroom

Let's get physical... physical. Does your room have a good and balanced feng shui? If not then it's a perfect time to fix it.

4. Lifting

I don't have weights either. Lift your dog. Lift your cat. Lift your mother's briefcase. Sneak into mail room and lift packages. Anything to build up your arms.

5. Organize the pantry

Alphabetically, by food groups, by price, by manufacturing company... put those groceries in order.

6. Re-invent your laptop aesthetic

What does your computer say about you? Make it personal.

7. Look up your family ancestry

Don't think about who you're going to be. Think about who you where!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
