8 Things To Do If You're A Teen Stuck In The Suburbs For The Summer

The suburbs are, well, the suburbs. If you happen to find yourself at home for the summer, here is a list of things to make it more bearable.

8 Things To Do If You're A Teen Stuck In The Suburbs For The Summer

1. Visit every carnival within a 20-mile radius of your town.

When you're scrolling through your snapchat stories and come across one of a carnival, you probably wonder where it is. Find out and go! Are they a waste of money? Most likely. Is every town's the same? Yes. Should you still go? Of course.

2. Get a job.

If you're going to be bored, you might as well be making money.

3. Visit a state park.

Instead of being on your phone inside, go outside and be on your phone! State parks and forest preserves are great for Pokemon Go (do people still play that?), or a photo shoot for your VSCO Cam feed.

4. Nothing

You are probably doing nothing, which is how you came across this article. Add to the already lazy, not productive stereotype Millennials and Generation Z have already had casted upon them. It's true, anyway.

5. Summer school.

It may be a little late, and you may throw up in your mouth at the sound of it, but it could be beneficial. Summer school is typically easier than regular school, and you'll have more time during the school year to do nothing. Thank me (and yourself) later.

6. Binge watch on Netflix.

You'll probably end up doing it, this is just your reminder to start or continue.


7. Sleep

Do I even need to explain myself on this one? If you don't like sleep, look at the rest of this list.

8. Look up conspiracy theories.

These seem to be a trend lately, and you'll probably end up believing one(s) you shouldn't. My favorites are the Avril Lavigne is dead theory, and Walmart is being turned into concentration camps theory.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
