When you have spent months in school studying, stressing and pushing yourself to work hard to get those good grades in, the only thing you absolutely look forward to is that long-awaited summer vacation. You know, the one that will take all that little bit of stress away and you can just focus on having fun, working and making money.

Well, once the wait is over and summer is finally here what do you do? I mean, most people don't really spend time making plans for the summer because they're too busy worried about homework and studying. So most people just ended up sitting in their bed with some food in one hand and the remote in the other binge watching episodes of friends on Netflix, which is great but it definitely isn't the ideal vacation you've been looking for.

So, instead of just sitting around and thinking about what there is to do, get up and grab some friends to go on a road trip and take trip down to the beach. There is so much to do other than just sit around. Living in this gigantic world you have an abundance of options.

Here are just a few ideas:

1.Go to the beach.

If you live anywhere near a beach, that is the perfect place to just get away and have some fun for a few hours or even days, depending on how much you're willing to spend to keep the fun going.

2. Go on a road trip.

I'm going to be honest, this one is a bit more tough. What I mean is you need the right the car, the right amount of people, the right kind of people and a pretty good amount of money, because the road trip itself might cost you with gas.

3. Get involved.

There has to be something that you are interested in. Whether that be something within you're creative interest, you're willingness to serve your community or a volunteer job that is looking for some people. Getting involved is a good way to keep busy and at the same time do something that you are interested in doing.

4. Go camping for a few days.

If you are with the right people, then go camping. Camping is so much fun, and depending on where you go, there is so much you can do.

5. See the world.

Take a plane ride somewhere. It doesn't have to be far and there are some airlines that have some great deals on one-way and round-trip flights.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
