Do you have a lot of free time this summer? Do you not know what to do with your free time? Well then keep reading. Here are some great suggestions for what to do when you are bored over summer (or anytime really).

1. Watch paint dry

A classic, but very effective.

2. Watch the grass grow

Another classic. If you want to really spice it up, you can mow the lawn then watch the grass grow—this insures optimal growth for watching.

3. Organize the spice drawer

Whether you organize it alphabetically, by country of origin, or by frequency of use, your parents will be grateful that you took some initiative and cleaned.

4. Watch the entire video of a fireplace on YouTube

Ya know, the ones people play at Christmas parties when the don't have a fire place and it just loops for hours. Cozy.

5. Count grains of rice

Make sure to count multiple time to make sure you have an accurate inventory count. I suggest counting once a week.

6. Watch everything on Netflix

I mean everything. This will take up a good chunk of time off your hands.

7. Question your existence

Why are we here? What's at the edge of the universe? How is space expanding? Are parallel universes real?

8. See how many pieces of gum you can chew at once

It's like chubby bunny, but with gum. I advise having someone near when you attempt this just in case you puke or choke.

9. Play sweet or sour

You can do this in the comfort of your driveway. Maybe have some chalk at hand so you can keep track of which neighbors are sweet and which ones are sour.

10. Count how many strands of hair you have on your head

Start with a ballpark estimate and compare to your final count. If you find a good way to remember which hairs you've already counted, please let me know.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
