Finals week is coming to a close, and for those of you like me, your first year of college has officially ended. The professors have picked up all exams for better or for worse, the dorm buildings are in pandemonium as everyone packs up, and soon enough, your parents are going to come take you home. It’s cool at first, coming home to do anything but homework. But then, you begin to realize that going home means three months of actually having nothing to do. Luckily, there are at least ten things that any BOSS(that's you) could do to liven up the break.

1. Take the girls(or guys) out like a BOSS

Nine months away from hometown friends can be stressful. Why not use the summer to hang out with the besties and figure out what everyone’s been up too? You’ll be amazed just how much gang has changed.

2. Travel like a BOSS

When a BOSS travels, the destination can literally be anywhere. Traveling to Milan for the summer? Do it like a BOSS! Going out of town to meet with Grandma? Go kiss your grandmother like a BOSS! The possibilities are endless!

3. Go Shopping like a BOSS

There are times when summer comes around and you realize you have no shorts and t-shirts. At all.The Best way to get summer ready like a BOSS is to go shopping for those cute shorts and awesome swimsuit!

4. Wear Bathing Suit like a BOSS

Speaking of swimsuits, what better way to take on the summer than getting poolside ready?

5. Go Camping like a BOSS

I admit, camping is not for everyone. With the right people (friends) and the right place (camping in a tent or in an RV is the same thing, right?), camping can be an awesome activity to do during the summer. Get back to nature, see some wildlife, make friends with a deer! You can never go wrong in the great outdoors!

6. Catch up on Sleep like a BOSS

No school means extra time, and extra times means that extra hour of sleep you’ve been craving since the start of the semester. Stay in bed for a couple more hours (or maybe for the whole day) and get reacquainted with your pillow.

7. Work like a BOSS

Some of us are going out to look for a job this summer. Why not work like a BOSS too? Throw that flashy smile at your employer, rack in the dough, and save up for something cool. Everyone needs a little more money in their pocket. Just remember,don’t overwork yourself, it is the summer.

8. Summer School like a BOSS

This is for those who might be trying to get ahead of school. Whether you’ve decided to take an art course for fun or a biology course that’s four hours long, take on summer school with a positive attitude. Who doesn't like getting ahead?

9. Hang out with Family like a BOSS

Family can be almost unavoidable during the summer months, especially when everyone finds out you’re on vacation. So why not meet them head on? Take your mom out to the movies, go see a sports game with the old man. The time you put into your family can be rewarding, especially when you realize that they aren’t that bad to hang out with.

10. Miss College Friends like a BOSS

Coming home can be such a relief, with no professors and homework keeping you down. After a few weeks home though, it’s kind of hard not to miss your college friends. Luckily, the internet keeps everyone in touch with each other. Text each other, or maybe facetime once in awhile. You can even plan a trip to go visit.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
