After three weeks and a long weekend of events, some stability is finally arriving in the summer. The weather is getting warmer, there's a steady routine within work, and this month's rent is finally paid for. But what to do in the meantime? When you're not sifting through papers and folders, and actually have the need to do something in order to keep yourself sane? Here may be some ideas that can help.

1. Listen to a podcast. I've been doing this during my work and it provides me with a sense of entertainment to relieve me of those dull, repetitious motions or organizing paperwork.

2. Binging on many books as possible. It's likely that you will never have this option again when the school year starts.

3. Learn how to cook. If I think hard enough, maybe a few eggs will be successful. Or rice. Or baked beans. Regardless, I know that having too many microwaveable foods isn't doing me much favors.

4. Learn another language. Especially if you're getting a head start for next semester's class, or just in general career goals.

5. Listen to new music. Honestly, you'd be surprised how easy it is to go through an entire album in one sitting. And of course you feel qualified to make critiques to impress (or piss off) your friends afterwards.

6. Do laundry. Lest it becomes too late and you find the washer completely suffed with your sheets, race shirts, and decorative shorts. Be careful as they may smell even worse than when you put them in (and also damp; nobody wants that).

7. Scroll social media. But not too much; you're trying to make it through the day without feeling too agitated. Maybe finding that one hilarious video will make the excursion worthwhile.

8. Go outside. But really, why would you want to do that?

9. Spend some time horridly reflecting on where your time has gone. It's 2 AM already? Wow. Wow.

10. Try to mooch off friends by visiting them for both conversation and food. Take what you can. Give nothing back (unless asked politely!).

11. Do nothing and deal with the consequences. Because let's face it; it'll happen sooner or later.

12. Inquire where all your cuts and bites came from, and react accordingly. I typically brood the rest of the day for having these, but rubbing alcohol works quite well.

13. Stock up on things you probably don't need. Plastic utensils? Check. Winter coat? Check. 70 books, all stacked up on your desk, half of which won't be read? Check!

14. Consider whether or not sleep is a construct. Especially if you debate how much of it you need from time to time.

15. Stare at the ceiling until something happens (or, until it's the next day).
