10 Fun Things To Do When You're Bored During Summer
The Odyssey

We all have those long, boring summer days where no one can hang out and you end up being stuck at home all alone for a day. Hopefully, these will give you some inspiration on how to relieve your boredom.

1. Play with your pets.

Pets can honestly be the best companions sometimes, especially when you’re lonely. Teach them a new trick, take them on a walk, or just spend the day snuggling.

2. Learn how to play an instrument.

Music can be very therapeutic and also be a good way to pass the time.

3. Work out.

We all crave having a perfect summer bod, so why not help yourself get closer to that goal when you have nothing else to do. There are lots of at-home workout videos on Youtube, that can help you to get started.

4. Clean.

Life can get a little messy, especially our bedrooms. Take the day to clean up around the house.

5. Draw/paint.

Drawing and painting can be a great way to express yourself and make something cool. Don’t worry about it being perfect, just be creative.

6. Find a new hobby.

There are lots of things that you can do at home that are fun, that you probably have never tried before. For example, you could take your day off to learn how to knit, sew, play basketball, whatever your heart desires.

7. Have a spa day.

We all need those days where we put on a face mask, re-paint our nails, and take a bubble bath. Long, summer days like this are perfect for that.

8. Bake something.

Baking is always a fun way to spend time and make some yummy treats.

9. Binge watch a Netflix series.

This is the classic thing to do when you're at home by yourself, but hey, at least it passes a lot of time. I personally recommend Gossip Girl, 90210, Gilmore Girls, and The Fosters.

10. Sleep.

I think we are always a little behind in our schedules and we all deserve a day to sleep. Even if it is all day long.

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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
