It's getting to that point of the summer where the ol' summer job is getting stale and you've started to dream about being back at school. Football season is so close, but yet so far. You love your family, but man are they starting to be around a lot. Seriously when was the last time you actually got to be alone?! The last month of a summer spent at home gets rough, but there are ways to get through it, and here are just a few ideas to help you push through:
1. Spend two weeks napping. If you are napping you don't have to think about the fact that you are bored out of your mind. A two week nap might sound hard, but c'mon, you lost at least two weeks of sleep in the last school year. It's just time to catch up, right? The best way to plan this nap is to watch videos of bears hibernating on YouTube.
Look at that, only two weeks left.
2. Start to pack your stuff like you are about to run away. You have been hanging out with your parents way too much lately and it's time to get the heck out. When was the last time you were alone? It's hard to remember those glory days, but start packing your bags. Only essentials are needed.
3. Start a new TV show so that you can ignore everyone for long stretches of time. The easiest way to pass time is to just watch Netflix, Hulu, HBO , or any other online TV service for hours on end. Not only will time fly, but hey, you will be able to catch up on all those shows you've been planning on watching. Some important suggestions would include: "The Office (of course), "Parks and Rec," "Grey's Anatomy", "Game of Thrones," and all those other gems you hear about.
4. Make excuses to go to Target. Target is an amazing place that has literally everything. Recently CVS teamed up with Target and now the two are literally unstoppable. To pass the time, make a reason to head over to that big red paradise and spend a few hours browsing the aisles.
5. Grow a tree. Urban outfitters has some mini trees that you can grow in your own room. So grow a tree and tell everyone you are saving the earth. Not only can you add "Environmental Activist" to your resume, but now you can just grow a tree instead of having a productive last month of summer.
6. Be mute for a day. Don't talk to anyone. Gestures only. It'll be a fun game for you and will annoy every person you encounter.
7. Watch ridiculously long and pointless YouTube videos. Suggestions include: Shaq dancing for 47 minutes on loop, a baby goat yelling for 23 hours, or just your average video of various dogs barking "I love you" at their owners.
