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!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
