It's summer time. Over the next few months, there's no doubt that at some point you will run out of stuff to do. So, for your benefit, here are 27 things to do when you are bored this summer! You're welcome.

1. Write a short story.

2. Clean your room.

I mean, it's not interesting, but if you're bored enough...

3. Read a book.

Or five or six, depending on how bored you are.

4. Wash your car.

5. Or better yet, clean the inside of your car.

You know you need to.

6. Finally learn to cook a decent meal.

Not Ramen noodles, this is the big leagues.

7. Organize your closet.

8. Match all your socks up and get rid of the ones that don't have matches.

9. Watch your favorite movie.

10. Or, mute your favorite movie and recite all the lines yourself.

For me or anyone in my family, this would be "The Princess Bride."

11. Watch an entire series on Netflix.

I recommend How "I Met Your Mother," "New Girl," or "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

12. Train to run a race.

13. Organize your inbox.

We all know you have too many emails. Organize them into folders, delete your spam, and start fresh.

14. Make a scrapbook.

15. Write a letter to your grandmother.

She's probably worried about you.

16. Build a bonfire.

17. Call the fire department, your yard is on fire.

18. Have a movie night with your friends.

19. Color.

It's relaxing and you get to be artsy!

20. Go to IKEA and try not to get lost.

21. Go visit a nursing home.

You'd make someone's whole day!

22. Try birdwatching.

23. Lay down on your kitchen floor and pretend to be a crumb.

24. Look at the clouds and try to find shapes!

It may seem like something a kid would do (because it is), but it's still fun.

25. Try your hand at calligraphy.

Ha. Get it?

26. Google "baby animals" and click on Images. Trust me.

27. Tie-dye something.

There are kits at craft stores everywhere!


Have fun, and may you never be bored again. Happy Summer!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
