7 Ways To Bear Your Boredom

Summer is finally here. For most of us, that means sitting at home doing the bare minimum. Although there are many options for keeping yourself entertained a lot of us don't have the means, or the money, or the motivation to get off our lazy asses. On many occasions we find ourselves utterly bored. Being bored doesn't have to be all that dreary. There's plenty of "activities" that can help make your situation a little more bearable; just until you actually have something to do. I won't swear by it, but what else do you have to do? Nothing, so just try it.

1. Take a bath

If you have a tub in your house it's time to treat yo' body. Clog the drain and warm up that water. You don't even need bubbles, just sit and play with the water, mix up the stuff you have in your bathroom; be a toiletry alchemist.

2. Paint your nails

Go full-fledged Picasso with that nail brush. The nail is your canvas. Paint outside the lines. Be daring, get those fingers involved.

3. Completely rearrange your entire bedroom

Let's get physical... physical. Does your room have a good and balanced feng shui? If not then it's a perfect time to fix it.

4. Lifting

I don't have weights either. Lift your dog. Lift your cat. Lift your mother's briefcase. Sneak into mail room and lift packages. Anything to build up your arms.

5. Organize the pantry

Alphabetically, by food groups, by price, by manufacturing company... put those groceries in order.

6. Re-invent your laptop aesthetic

What does your computer say about you? Make it personal.

7. Look up your family ancestry

Don't think about who you're going to be. Think about who you where!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
