Has boredom struck?

Things To Do When Bored This Summer
dormify.com

For as long as I can remember, I have always been constantly bored during the summer. I thought that, as I got older and had more freedom, this sense of boredom would slowly go away. I was wrong. It has only been a month into summer vacation and I am so ready to hit the books and start my classes. In the meantime, I plan to do several things and hope that they will pass some time. I have come to realize that the summer is all about relaxation and getting yourself together for when school starts back up again.

A lot of my favorite things to do when I'm bored can be done right at home. Some of the simplest things can actually be quite relaxing and can easily bring joy to your day. One of the best things is when you find a new interest, whether it is in the form of the television, a book, or music. Finding a new television series to watch or a new book to read is actually very exciting and it will easily keep you distracted for a while. I am also a huge fan of music and I love when I come across new songs, or even whole albums, by some of my favorite artists.

For those who aren't homebodies, there are even more options for you. One of the best things to do is to just go on a walk and enjoy nature. Another thing that you can do is explore the area where you live. Drive around with some friends and visit stores or restaurants which you have never been to before. The better that you know the area in which you live, the more options that you will have when it comes down to to finding things to do.

Another option includes getting a part time job. By getting a job, you will gain experience for the future, make time go faster, and make money! Alternately, you could study for the classes that you plan on taking in the fall. I know that it doesn't sound very fun, but it gives you something to do and you will be better prepared in the long run.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide on what you want to do this summer! Hopefully, you all found my suggestions helpful!

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.

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.
