The Downfall of Summer --Boredom

Although summer is nice, relaxing and napping, some days are just not that fun and cause you to be very, very bored.

The Downfall of Summer --Boredom
Giphy

2 weeks ago I left college and came home for the summer. Leaving behind lots of memories and great people who live hours away. Summer sixteen was here, and was what I thought would be pretty eventful. Having something to do everyday with friends I haven't seen in months, spending a few days a week at my internship, heading to the beach and going to the gym. Which yeah, I did all that in the first 5 days of break going to different things around Buffalo, but now I've officially hit the boredom stage of summer vacation. So now I just sit and wait, and hope someone comes up with an idea that will allow me to break the boredom.

Don't get my wrong, I love summer and all the relaxing and unlimited naps that it offers but, unless you have a vacation planned, some days are just going to be super super boring (even a nap can't make certain days better). Like if the weathers bad and you don't want to spend money, it looks like you'll be stuck inside watching Netflix and napping. You could clean, but you might have to be REALLY bored for that one to happen. These past 14 days have been eventful, going from park to park, walking the trails, laying out at the beach, going out to eat, starting my internship, catching up with old friends but slowly I can see these random adventures die down and turning into me napping all-day.

Seriously, everyone has a life, and different responsibilities on a day-to-day basis so everyday can't be a random trip to Niagara Falls or downtown Buffalo to look at the scenery. But in-between friends having jobs, and other family vacations, or obligations, or work for yourself, or maybe an internship you must complete, kind of forces you to look elsewhere for some fun since not everyone is free at the same time. Therefore, you might have to ask your brothers to hangout... As a last resort, of course. Or sitting on your laptop refreshing Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram while re-watching Grey's Anatomy for the 6th time, but who's counting...

(How can you not re-watch it with a face like that to look at...)

Although I would love to be on summer vacation all the time, and not have to worry about the stresses of school and waking up early, but boredom is a terrible thing. Which is making me wish it was time to go back to Keuka already, with all the great people I met, but we still have two months. So it looks like I'm going to have to be really creative these next 2 months and go out of my comfort zone to break the boredom and try to have the best summer yet. So here's to making summer '16 a little less boring.

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
