There have been a lot of rainy days this summer which means I have spent a lot of days trapped inside and bored. Why not turn that boredom into a 🔥 Instagram pic? These are a few simple shoots anyone can do at home.

1. Make a CD Rainbow

These pictures are all the rage right now. Although you can easily edit in a rainbow using FaceTune, using a CD to make one is more fun and gives you more control over the effect.

2. Use Shadows

Use things like blinds, lace or anything patterned to make a cool shadow effect on either your face or your clothes.

3. Play With Glitter

Everyone loves glitter, plus everyone has some sort of glitter laying around their house. Use it to highlight certain things or honestly to coat your entire body.

4. PicsArt

Who said editing isn't an art? Use PicsArt to add filters, stickers and a ton of other fun effects. Give your basic photos a little more pop.

5. Computer Screen Glows

Turn off the lights, search a color on Google and turn your brightness all the way up. Use the light from your computer to make you glow in the color of your choice.

6. Glass Shower Door

Use a glass shower door to create a drip on glass effect in front of the subjects face. Even better, use colored water to make an awesome effect.

7. Mirrors

Mirror selfies are always cute. You can take this to the next level by positioning mirrors in photos to show things that would not normally be seen, adding another layer.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
