Summers at home are all about what you make of them. They may not be filled with all of the excitement that comes along with being at school, but they definitely do have their perks — check out these five tips on ways to take in every last bit of these three months at home.

1. Use this time period as a chance to grow

Summers can be used to do many different things. Whether you have an internship or a 9-5 job Monday through Friday, summer is the perfect opportunity to take some time for yourself and find out new things you haven't really had the chance to while in school. Whether you focus on your health, beauty, or maintaining friendships summer is the perfect time to do it!

2. Take on a new hobby you never knew you needed

This is the perfect time to figure yourself out. Use this time to try out new and different things you couldn't quite make time for while in school. This could potentially open up a million new doors for you and teach you something about yourself you never even knew!

3. Rekindle old friendships

Summer is the time to rekindle those old friendships that were hard to maintain over the school year. This can be used as the perfect opportunity to reconnect those friendships that may have slightly faded during the school year. You never know what may come about this or just how much you never knew you needed that new friendship in your life

4. Unplug from your phone

Summer is also a great time for really living in every single moment. Not saying you should not use your phone at all but definitely a time to be mindful of just how much you're using it. This is the time to put it away and really focus on your day-to-day life. It is amazing how much you can accomplish when you put the phone down for some time

5. Spend time with your family

For those of you that are away at college, and even those of you going to college, summer is the perfect opportunity to spend much needed time with your family. You don't get this chance when you are away at college and it is important to make the most of your time with them when you do get it. I promise you, your older future will thank you later for this one.

So whatever you choose to do with your summer, make sure to incorporate these five tips into it. With one month left, summer is ending faster than it seems. Make sure to make the most of your time at home before you're loaded with work and responsibilities. Don't forget, one day when you're getting ready to move out for good, you'll yearn for these precious times at home. Don't let this summer slip away — it's all in your hands.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

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.
