8 Things To Do If You're A Teen Stuck In The Suburbs For The Summer

The suburbs are, well, the suburbs. If you happen to find yourself at home for the summer, here is a list of things to make it more bearable.

1. Visit every carnival within a 20-mile radius of your town.

When you're scrolling through your snapchat stories and come across one of a carnival, you probably wonder where it is. Find out and go! Are they a waste of money? Most likely. Is every town's the same? Yes. Should you still go? Of course.

2. Get a job.

If you're going to be bored, you might as well be making money.

3. Visit a state park.

Instead of being on your phone inside, go outside and be on your phone! State parks and forest preserves are great for Pokemon Go (do people still play that?), or a photo shoot for your VSCO Cam feed.

4. Nothing

You are probably doing nothing, which is how you came across this article. Add to the already lazy, not productive stereotype Millennials and Generation Z have already had casted upon them. It's true, anyway.

5. Summer school.

It may be a little late, and you may throw up in your mouth at the sound of it, but it could be beneficial. Summer school is typically easier than regular school, and you'll have more time during the school year to do nothing. Thank me (and yourself) later.

6. Binge watch on Netflix.

You'll probably end up doing it, this is just your reminder to start or continue.


7. Sleep

Do I even need to explain myself on this one? If you don't like sleep, look at the rest of this list.

8. Look up conspiracy theories.

These seem to be a trend lately, and you'll probably end up believing one(s) you shouldn't. My favorites are the Avril Lavigne is dead theory, and Walmart is being turned into concentration camps theory.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
