10 Things To Do When You're Bored This Summer
Todays Parent

1. Sleep

Sleep is the number one thing to do when you come home for the summer considering all the high intense studying you put yourself through in the school year. Sleep through a day and you will find yourself thoroughly entertained by your dreams.

2. Swipe through Tinder

After waking up from a long slumber, grab your phone and check up on all your notifications. If you are still bored then swipe through tinder and hopefully find a summer “boo thing” you can have wild thoughts about. (Apparently Rihanna having a Saudian prince is having a big impact on all the ladies for the summer)

3. Meet up with friends

Meet up with your old high school friends and see how fake they have gotten. Seeing them again will make you realize how much you want to go back to college. So make sure you pregame for the meet up and watch how everyone attempts to act their coolest in front of you. Try not to laugh, it’s offensive (This is from personal experience).

4. Binge watch Netflix

Watch a marathon of ‘Law and Order’ and other movies while stuffing your face with junk food. It can be an entertaining and time filled thing to do for the day. When there’s an awkward pause between scenes look at yourself hard in the reflection of the laptop or television screen and ask yourself “are you really living summer if you look like trash while watching Netflix?”

5. Read an inspirational book

Reading books that cover topics such as “How to be Successful” or “How to Stay Motivated” can consume your time and can educate you on being motivated while ironically doing nothing but reading the book.

6. Make new friends

Since your old friends suck, try going out to bars and clubs or even a local coffee shop and spring a conversation with anybody. Who knows if there’s a cute boy or girl to meet or a dope friend you can do fun adventures with.

7. Go to Parties

Parties are often something to do to make yourself forget about how much your summer sucks. This is a go to place to make friends and to show off on your snapchat stories to appear much cooler than you actually are.

8. Go on Vacation

Can’t afford a vacation you say? Same, so I take vacations from app to app on my iphone. Sometimes I take a vacation in my dreams. It saves money. If you can afford vacations, screw you.

9. Start Drama

Start a fight with someone or create drama with that summer fling. It will be painful, but hey at least it’s something to do and talk about. The more drama you have with your family and friends the more motivation there is to go out and distract yourself.

10. Workout

This is the most important thing to do since you want to show off to all your college friends how fit you’ve gotten over the summer. Drink water, eat well, lift heavy. GET THAT BODY RIGHT!!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
