So, right now it's June, but you have until the middle of August to do mostly...well...nothing!

I know you've been waiting for this and now that it's here, you realize you're bored, lazy and unproductive.

Here's a list of 50 things you can do over the Summer:

1. Develop a daily routine—follow it!

2. Start a blog.

3. Learn photography.

4. Meditate.

5. Go to the gym regularly.

6. Go for a swim.

7. Start doing Yoga.

8. Go on a road trip with a few close friends.

9. Learn how to cook.

10. Clean your room—but, like, properly.

11. Do charity work.

12. Sort out your clothes, accessories, and shoes by rearranging them.

13. Start a daily journal.

14. Watch a documentary (NOT a Netflix one).

15. Take an online course.

16. Learn a language.

17. Learn to draw.

18. Improve your handwriting skills.

19. Read a book.

20. Watch travel vlogs on YouTube.

21. Learn to sew.

22. Buy a coloring book—color!

23. DIY—anything.

24. Paint your nails.

25. Explore new music.

26. Watch movies that aren't in your first language.

27. Go on a holiday.

28. Play badminton with your friends.

29. Go for a walk in the park.

30. Explore new restaurants in town—write reviews online.

31. Help the homeless.

32. Enroll in a kickboxing class.

33. Do karate.

34. Learn how to read tarot cards (because why not?)!

35. Learn how to use Adobe Photoshop.

36. Learn how to edit music.

37. Learn how to edit videos—make vlogs!

38. Learn about a new country.

39. Explore your city a little more.

40. Arrange a photoshoot with your best friend.

41. Improve your writing skills.

42. Work on your resume.

43. Have a karaoke night with your friends.

44. Have a sleepover with your friends.

45. Learn a new form of dance.

46. Take time to educate yourself—become politically aware.

47. Build your social skills.

48. Start a food blog!

49. Go on a camping trip.

50. Do a short internship/job shadowing.

That's my list of the things you can do over the summer. From now on, every time you sit on the couch aimlessly scrolling through your social media asking yourself why you have nothing to do, know that there's always something out there. You ALWAYS have something to do.

Remember, you have three months. Use this time to develop as a person, discover yourself, and create a healthy lifestyle.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."
