Five Ways To Spend The Rest Of Your Time At Home

Now that you have gotten over sleeping late and mourning the end of the semester, you still have a little bit of time before you start that summer internship. It's not quite long enough to continue on with your lazy ways, and not long enough to get a job or take a class to put you ahead for next semester.

Here are five ideas to fill the awkward amount of time left in between the end of school and the start of your summer internship.

Enjoy some beach days.

Take a day trip to the beach with your friends! Enjoy the weather and take in the fact that you have no obligations to anyone, at least not for the rest of the month.

Travel

If you have the funds, go traveling for a week or so. A popular use of this time is to spend it overseas. See the ruins of Greece or go eat gelato in Rome. Anywhere you go is bound to be beautiful, so why not have some stories to tell and pictures to show on your first day of work?

Make your own challenges.

Create some sort of challenge for yourself. If you have two weeks until you start work, make it your mission to hit every one of the top 10 pizza places in NYC before then. You can challenge yourself to do one thing every day that you have never done before.

Do a weekend at the lake.

Go online and look for a cabin on a lake to rent with your friends. This can easily end up being the best part of your summer if you do it right. Gather up whoever wants to go, split the cost and bring lots of fun activity paraphernalia.

Redecorate

Use this time to take on a project. Whether it's around the house or within yourself, make this chunk of days the time you have to get this change, or "redecoration," done.

Have fun, and hang in there, the time will pass more quickly than you think!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
