Spice Up Your Summer

Spice Up Your Summer
Tasting Table

If you’re anything like me, you moved back home for summer and you’re itching to do something with yourself. It’s not always easy coming home, no job, no real social life, and for the most part, nothing fun to do. So here’s a list of some easy fun stuff to do when you’re bored as heck.

1. Watch the movies and shows that are supposed to be leaving Netflix in a month.

Why not take the time to watch all the shows you’ve been meaning to watch before the opportunity is gone forever (jk but you’ll probably have to pay extra money).

2. Go on a Pinterest spree.

Nothing is more fun than looking up cool and fun projects that you wouldn’t normally have time to do, so get out that glue gun and start crafting!

3. Plant herb seeds in pots for your window sill.

It’ll good to give yourself a sense of responsibility by taking care of and tending to a couple plants. You can watch them grow over the summer and eventually use the herbs it produces! Plus it’ll make your place hipster as heck.

4. Make yourself a fancy breakfast.

This way you have motivation to get out of bed at a normal time instead of sleeping in all day. Plus having a really good breakfast sets you up to have a good day, even if you have absolutely nothing to do.

5. Have a dinner party.

Invite all of your friends to come over, dress up, and enjoy a meal together without any cell phones or distractions.

6. Take a long drive.

Fill up your gas tank and take a drive through the backroads of a small town. Crank the music and enjoy not having to be anywhere for any real reason.

7. Reorganize your room.

Sometimes it’s fun switching things up. Flip your bed so it faces a new direction or move your dresser to the other side of the room, either way you’re changing the energy of your space and giving yourself something to do.

8. Host a yard sale.

Cause while you’re reorganizing your room you might find some stuff that you might not necessarily want, but don’t want to throw it away either. Set up a table in the front yard and make some money.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
