Home from college this summer? Bored as heck? I relate to this all too well which is why I am sharing some fun ideas to add to your bucket list for summer 2018! I think everyone should live each and every day to the fullest. Yeah we know, you miss your college, we all do. But guess what?

Just have fun and enjoy some well deserved time off. It is never too late to turn things around.
