As finals have ended, summer break has begun. However, it's tempting to sit around at home and watch Netflix all day. So I decided I should come up with a list of things to do during summer break.

1. Take summer classes

Behind on credits or want to get a head start? Summer classes are a great way to keep your mind going and busy for summer.

2. Get a job or internship

Need some cash? Or some experience in your field of interest? Summer jobs and internships are great for students and help future careers.

3. Shadow someone in your field of interest

Just like summer jobs and internship, shadowing someone is great because students can more an idea of what they want in the future.

4. Go to the pool

The pool is a great way to kick back and relax, so take some time out of your busy schedule and refresh your self at your local pool.

5. Read a book

I used to read a lot of and now since I'm so busy it's hard to find time for it. However, like me, try to make some time this summer to read a book or something not on your phone.

6. Go out with friends

Just remember to be safe!

7. Spend time with family

Since your home, take some time to spend with your family. Give your parents or someone a hug. Family is important

8. Take a vacation

Get away from reality for a bit and take an adventure someplace new

9. Play with your pets

Play with pets as much as possible. Love them unconditionally

10. Make memories

Live your summer days as if there's no tomorrow


Moreover, summer is one of those moments when you blink, you end up missing it. Enjoy each day and remember to have fun and recharge yourself before going back to school in the fall!

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?

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.
