12 Activities To Do When You're Bored This Summer

We all have those goals for the summer. We want to travel a ton, and do things we've never done before. But sometimes, our extreme plans fall short when summer finally hits. Here is a list of things you can do when you're sitting around your house, not knowing what to do!

Enjoy!

1. Exercise.

This might not seem like the greatest thing, but believe me, working out this summer will have you feeling so much better. It will leave you feeling productive and happy.

2. Go Shopping.

Going shopping will definitely kill time, and even if you don't have the money to spend, going to the mall with your friends and trying on clothes is always a good time.

3. Find a new place in your town you've never been.

Sometimes, living in a town makes you think you know about every shop and restaurant. Who knows, though? Maybe you're missing out on the cutest boutique or the best food in town?

4. Go on a road trip.

Going on a road trip with a few friends to somewhere you've never been before is definitely going to be an adventure. So pack some snacks, turn the music up, and plug in an unknown destination to google maps.

5. Go to a coffee shop.

Getting a cup of coffee with your friends is always the perfect way to have a little fun.

6. Go thrifting.

Find the closest thrift shop and have at it. You can find the cutest and coolest things. Believe me, people will be asking where you got your stuff all the time!

7. See a movie.

So many movies come out in the summer. On the rainy days, or any day you feel like you have nothing to do, go see a movie!

8. Read a new book.

Reading might not be your cup of tea, but picking up a new book is always a good idea.

9. Find a recipe and make it.

Pinterest is a gold mine for great recipes. Find one that interests you and make it!!

10. Go to a concert.

Going to concerts in the summer is personally one of my favorite things to do! Go see your favorite artist, hang out with you friends, and make memories!

11. Go to the pool.

This might seem like an obvious one, but for the days you don't know what to do with, head to the pool, bring your headphones, a book, and swim laps. Either way, you'll have a great time and get your tan on!

12. Have a cookout with your friends.

Invite your friends over, grill up some burgers, and hang out. You can't go wrong with a cookout in the summer!

Have fun this summer, y'all!

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"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!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
