Now that we have all been home for about a week now, it is safe to say that the boredom is beginning to kick in. Our families are still busy with school or work and some of our friends may have already started their internships. So, as a broke college student back at home, what are you going to do? I mean, you can't go and blow your money on getting lunch everyday! Here are some ideas that can help get your mind out of the "boredom gutter" and enjoy every piece of your summer.

Binge a Netflix series.

Have you ever really want to understand why the Internet broke when Derek Shepard (spoiler alert) was killed off "Grey's Anatomy"? Well, here is your chance. When is the next time that you are going to have this freedom? Go ahead and get yourself some popcorn and potentially a glass of wine and enjoy the ride.

Clean out your closet.

I get it; it's summer and the last thing you want to do is swift through your wardrobe and toss items you don't wear, but it could work to your advantage. Making space in your closet allots for more room for you to buy a new summer wardrobe! Plus, you could take your old clothes to a place like Playto's Closet and earn some quick cash to get you through the weeks before you start your internship.

Cook.

If you were held up in a dorm room this past semester, then this is the perfect time to experiment with your cooking skills. Get on Pinterest and find some amazing recipes that you have been dying to try. You can even offer to make dinner for your family one night and I guarantee that they will come home hungry and happy!

Craft.

So you probably already have a billion of crafted items whether it's from big/little or wanting to spruce up you dorm room. Well, why not get a little creative with your room from home? Try mason jar crafts! They seem to be really popular and can serve as a great way to organize objects in your bathroom or room.

Make a summer playlist.

If you like relaxing by the pool or driving with the windows down, then now is the time to make that official summer playlist. Find out the hottest tunes for a summer and get ready to memorize the words that will constantly be on your mind for the next few months.

Start a novel.

Sometimes a little too much Netflix can be a little too much. There are plenty of awesome books out there that will keep you on the edge of your seat over the summer. Go to Half Price Books and get yourself a stack of books that you are interested in reading. Once school starts again, you will not have time to get invested into these novels, so make it count now!

Obviously, there are a million things you could do with your free time, but make it count. While summer seems like a long time, it will fly by before you know it and you will be wishing you were bored again.
