Has boredom struck?

Things To Do When Bored This Summer

For as long as I can remember, I have always been constantly bored during the summer. I thought that, as I got older and had more freedom, this sense of boredom would slowly go away. I was wrong. It has only been a month into summer vacation and I am so ready to hit the books and start my classes. In the meantime, I plan to do several things and hope that they will pass some time. I have come to realize that the summer is all about relaxation and getting yourself together for when school starts back up again.

A lot of my favorite things to do when I'm bored can be done right at home. Some of the simplest things can actually be quite relaxing and can easily bring joy to your day. One of the best things is when you find a new interest, whether it is in the form of the television, a book, or music. Finding a new television series to watch or a new book to read is actually very exciting and it will easily keep you distracted for a while. I am also a huge fan of music and I love when I come across new songs, or even whole albums, by some of my favorite artists.

For those who aren't homebodies, there are even more options for you. One of the best things to do is to just go on a walk and enjoy nature. Another thing that you can do is explore the area where you live. Drive around with some friends and visit stores or restaurants which you have never been to before. The better that you know the area in which you live, the more options that you will have when it comes down to to finding things to do.

Another option includes getting a part time job. By getting a job, you will gain experience for the future, make time go faster, and make money! Alternately, you could study for the classes that you plan on taking in the fall. I know that it doesn't sound very fun, but it gives you something to do and you will be better prepared in the long run.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide on what you want to do this summer! Hopefully, you all found my suggestions helpful!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
