Summer is finally here and lovely as ever. If you have been thinking of spending your vacation doing nothing, welcome to the club. I was so excited doing nothing this summer (except summer classes, which we all know are not fun at all) and just enjoying myself but I found out that doing nothing literally stressed me out after a while.

I know it sounds crazy and I hate this productive me but here are some things you can do to make your summer productive and fun at the same time!

Learn a new language

Giphy

Sounds crazy, I know, but research shows learning a new language literally can open up new pathways in your brain! Plus it makes you sound super smart and the process can be fun!

Read those books on your list

Giphy

You might finally read that book you have been putting off and by reading it, you will prosper or at least find out what happened with that one character that supposedly died in the previous book!

Start prepping for your grad school entrance exam

Giphy

Yes, I hate this one too but if you wanna get into your dream school, you gotta start prepping now and you know it.

Get back on those hobbies that you love

Giphy

May it be painting, writing, or even horseback riding, this is the only time you have got to relive those memories before classes start again.

And finally, catch up on those TV shows/movies

Giphy

Now, this is the only part of this article that I have thoroughly checked off the list because I have been yearning for this part of the summer and this is how I know you need to get your binge on too.

And there you have it, a list of things you should do to be productive! Have a great summer, guys!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
