When you first get home for summer, it can be hard to know what you're supposed to do with your free time. I've personally struggled with what to do with my time before my summer job starts at the end of June. I have been able to watch a lot of movies and occasionally see some of my friends, and the lucky ones get me when I'm not in my pajamas. Other than that, I've had a slow and kind of boring start to my summer. To explain how my summer has been going, I might as well use my favorite movie of all time. Thanks John Hughes for one of the best coming of age movies ever, and for helping me cure my summer boredom. So here is the beginning of summer as told by the 80's classic, The Breakfast Club:

1. All you want to do is sleep but your parents have a different idea.


2. When people ask you what your summer plans are...


3. You have time to internet stalk people and find out more than you wanted to about their lives.


4. When your parents leave you with a list of things to do but you just can't leave your bed...



5. You miss being able to go to those day-camps full of activities and joy.


6. You eat to fill the time.


7. When your friends finally ask you to hang out...

8. You must make everything and anything fun and entertaining.


9. You finally get out of the house and you see someone cute.


10. You're in between looking for a job and sitting at home.


11. But when you finally do get a job, you can get out of the house!


The start to summer can be a long process if you don't plan ahead of time but it's not all bad if you can hangout with some friends (even if it's in detention)!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
