Do you have a lot of free time this summer? Do you not know what to do with your free time? Well then keep reading. Here are some great suggestions for what to do when you are bored over summer (or anytime really).

1. Watch paint dry

A classic, but very effective.

2. Watch the grass grow

Another classic. If you want to really spice it up, you can mow the lawn then watch the grass grow—this insures optimal growth for watching.

3. Organize the spice drawer

Whether you organize it alphabetically, by country of origin, or by frequency of use, your parents will be grateful that you took some initiative and cleaned.

4. Watch the entire video of a fireplace on YouTube

Ya know, the ones people play at Christmas parties when the don't have a fire place and it just loops for hours. Cozy.

5. Count grains of rice

Make sure to count multiple time to make sure you have an accurate inventory count. I suggest counting once a week.

6. Watch everything on Netflix

I mean everything. This will take up a good chunk of time off your hands.

7. Question your existence

Why are we here? What's at the edge of the universe? How is space expanding? Are parallel universes real?

8. See how many pieces of gum you can chew at once

It's like chubby bunny, but with gum. I advise having someone near when you attempt this just in case you puke or choke.

9. Play sweet or sour

You can do this in the comfort of your driveway. Maybe have some chalk at hand so you can keep track of which neighbors are sweet and which ones are sour.

10. Count how many strands of hair you have on your head

Start with a ballpark estimate and compare to your final count. If you find a good way to remember which hairs you've already counted, please let me know.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
