A Lazy Person's Guide To A Fun Summer

If you plan on spending your summer laying in bed and binge watching Netflix because you are too lazy to come up with fun ideas then don’t worry, this article is here to help. Coming from a lazy person as well, I know how much summer is a struggle for you to come up with fun activities to do. Through extensive research of looking through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I have put together a list for the lazy person guide to a fun summer.

1. Read a book once a month

2. Lay out in your backyard and tan (bonus if you have a pool)

3. Take random road trips to places you have never been to

4. Learn to cook and prepare a three-course meal (for yourself or others)

5. Take multiple beach trips

6. Explore different bars

7. Sip N Paint

8. If you have a dog, go on daily walks or go to the dog park once a week

9. If you have a cat, teach it to go on walks (cutest thing ever seeing a cat in a harness)

10. Go to a concert

11. Hang out with friends you haven’t seen in awhile

12. Get a part time job so you can enjoy the next point and not feel broke

13. Treat yourself and go on shopping sprees

14. Go to a midnight premiere of a movie

15. Do trivia night at a local bar

16. Go to baseball games (extra points if you get on the MegaTron)

17. Go on a walk or run everyday or once a week or even once a month

18. Go to an amusement park

19. Get an internship

20. FFFT (forced family fun time)

21. Volunteer at your local Humane Society

22. Go fishing

23. Redesign your room

24. Put together a puzzle

25. Actually go outside and enjoy the fresh air

26. Do some DIY projects for your room or college dorm

27. Dedicate one day once a month to eating junk food and movie watching with your BFF

28. Go on picnics

29. Take lots and lots of pictures

30. Just enjoy life every single day

Make this a competition in your friend group and see who can accomplish all of these activities. Winner gets the pride of being active this whole summer. HAGS.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
