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.

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.
