Spring is officially here (even though the weather says otherwise), so that means in summer break is almost here for college students. It can be a long break, but here are some ways to beat the boredom:

1. Get a job

This is probably the most boring, but it really doesn't have to be! We can all use some extra money, and it can be fun either 1. saving up or 2. not having to bother your parents for money every other day. Plus you won't be home doing absolutely nothing for four months.

2. Make plans and stick to them

Is there something you've always wanted to do? A hobby you wanted to pick up or a list of shows/movies to finally tackle? Summer is the best time! There's no homework, so spend time doing what you actually enjoy or have an interest in.

3. Get fit

While everyone thinks of getting a summer body before summer, doing it during summer is just as big and effective. With all the extra time, hit up the gym with a few friends who will keep you motivated or walk on a boardwalk or beach. The view is great!

4. Spend time with family

Summer is the perfect time to get together with your family because the weather is great and the potential for good outfits are endless. Spend time with the people you'll barely see during the school year.

5. Make a summer bucket list with friends

Lastly and probably the most obvious and fun of them all, hang out with your friends! Make a list of things to do, and they don't all have to be expensive.

Happy Summer!
