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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
