10 Fun Things To Do When You're Bored During Summer
The Odyssey

We all have those long, boring summer days where no one can hang out and you end up being stuck at home all alone for a day. Hopefully, these will give you some inspiration on how to relieve your boredom.

1. Play with your pets.

Pets can honestly be the best companions sometimes, especially when you’re lonely. Teach them a new trick, take them on a walk, or just spend the day snuggling.

2. Learn how to play an instrument.

Music can be very therapeutic and also be a good way to pass the time.

3. Work out.

We all crave having a perfect summer bod, so why not help yourself get closer to that goal when you have nothing else to do. There are lots of at-home workout videos on Youtube, that can help you to get started.

4. Clean.

Life can get a little messy, especially our bedrooms. Take the day to clean up around the house.

5. Draw/paint.

Drawing and painting can be a great way to express yourself and make something cool. Don’t worry about it being perfect, just be creative.

6. Find a new hobby.

There are lots of things that you can do at home that are fun, that you probably have never tried before. For example, you could take your day off to learn how to knit, sew, play basketball, whatever your heart desires.

7. Have a spa day.

We all need those days where we put on a face mask, re-paint our nails, and take a bubble bath. Long, summer days like this are perfect for that.

8. Bake something.

Baking is always a fun way to spend time and make some yummy treats.

9. Binge watch a Netflix series.

This is the classic thing to do when you're at home by yourself, but hey, at least it passes a lot of time. I personally recommend Gossip Girl, 90210, Gilmore Girls, and The Fosters.

10. Sleep.

I think we are always a little behind in our schedules and we all deserve a day to sleep. Even if it is all day long.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
