8 Ways To Be Productive This Summer

School is over, and summer has arrived! Rather than sitting all day on your couch, or wasting the day away on social media, here are eight ways to make your summer the most productive summer yet!

1. Read

You've spent this past school year reading different articles and textbooks for countless hours. So, rather than scrolling through social media, pick up a good book to read that actually interests you!

2. Get into a good sleep schedule

I'm not saying you have to wake up early every single day, but try to set a goal for how much sleep you want to get every single night. By getting a good nights sleep every night, your days will become less stressful and your energy levels will be boosted!

3. Learn a new skill

Some things you could learn to do include: cooking, baking, learning a foreign language, etc! Learn anything you've always wanted to learn!

4. Clean

Clean out your closet, and get rid of your old clothes. Deep-clean your room (something I still need to do lol). Take this time in the summer to de-clutter your life.

5. Do something you've never done before but have always wanted to do

This can be anything, big or small. Use this time to check off something on your bucket list!

6. Catch up with people

Whether its your friends back home, family, or mentors, catch up with them and let them know what you're up to!

7. Set goals

Create a bucket list, make to do lists...you can conquer your goals if you put your mind to it!

8. Do something that gives you joy everyday

For me, doing theater over the summer is something that gives me joy. I love seeing my friends on most nights of the week doing what I love! Find that passion for yourself, for over the summer!

Have a great summer! :)

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
