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.

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.

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.

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.
