Here are three tips on how to make yours productive!

1. Use a planner

Planners are a great way to keep everything you need to do in check, especially if you have a lot of things planned during the summer. If you are going to summer school or have a really intense summer internship or job, it is better to keep a daily planner, because it gives you more space to write things down.

However, if you aren't doing as much during the summer, monthly planners are great. You can see everything you have planned for the entire month right in front of you, which is great for staying mindful of what you have planned and things you have to get done.

2. Set goals

I firmly believe that goals, and writing them down are incredibly important. The summer is the perfect time to focus on your goals and take time to achieve things you didn't have time to do during the school year.

Not only that, but having goals and accomplishing them during the summer makes you feel so accomplished! It's so great to end the summer knowing that you've achieved things!!

3. Create to-do lists

To do lists are great, especially if you're not doing a ton during the summer and don't have too many busy days. To do lists are so great, and satisfying! It's a way to have everything you need to do down, and a place to check it off when you're done. They help you stay on track and reminded about what you need to do during the day, and always make sure you get everything done. Also, if you have really chill days during the summer you can make a to do list for your week which works just as well!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
