Finals week is coming to a close, and for those of you like me, your first year of college has officially ended. The professors have picked up all exams for better or for worse, the dorm buildings are in pandemonium as everyone packs up, and soon enough, your parents are going to come take you home. It’s cool at first, coming home to do anything but homework. But then, you begin to realize that going home means three months of actually having nothing to do. Luckily, there are at least ten things that any BOSS(that's you) could do to liven up the break.
1. Take the girls(or guys) out like a BOSS
Nine months away from hometown friends can be stressful. Why not use the summer to hang out with the besties and figure out what everyone’s been up too? You’ll be amazed just how much gang has changed.
2. Travel like a BOSS
When a BOSS travels, the destination can literally be anywhere. Traveling to Milan for the summer? Do it like a BOSS! Going out of town to meet with Grandma? Go kiss your grandmother like a BOSS! The possibilities are endless!
3. Go Shopping like a BOSS
There are times when summer comes around and you realize you have no shorts and t-shirts. At all.The Best way to get summer ready like a BOSS is to go shopping for those cute shorts and awesome swimsuit!
4. Wear Bathing Suit like a BOSS
Speaking of swimsuits, what better way to take on the summer than getting poolside ready?
5. Go Camping like a BOSS
I admit, camping is not for everyone. With the right people (friends) and the right place (camping in a tent or in an RV is the same thing, right?), camping can be an awesome activity to do during the summer. Get back to nature, see some wildlife, make friends with a deer! You can never go wrong in the great outdoors!
6. Catch up on Sleep like a BOSS
No school means extra time, and extra times means that extra hour of sleep you’ve been craving since the start of the semester. Stay in bed for a couple more hours (or maybe for the whole day) and get reacquainted with your pillow.
7. Work like a BOSS
Some of us are going out to look for a job this summer. Why not work like a BOSS too? Throw that flashy smile at your employer, rack in the dough, and save up for something cool. Everyone needs a little more money in their pocket. Just remember,don’t overwork yourself, it is the summer.
8. Summer School like a BOSS
This is for those who might be trying to get ahead of school. Whether you’ve decided to take an art course for fun or a biology course that’s four hours long, take on summer school with a positive attitude. Who doesn't like getting ahead?
9. Hang out with Family like a BOSS
Family can be almost unavoidable during the summer months, especially when everyone finds out you’re on vacation. So why not meet them head on? Take your mom out to the movies, go see a sports game with the old man. The time you put into your family can be rewarding, especially when you realize that they aren’t that bad to hang out with.
