The Downfall of Summer --Boredom

Although summer is nice, relaxing and napping, some days are just not that fun and cause you to be very, very bored.

The Downfall of Summer --Boredom
Giphy

2 weeks ago I left college and came home for the summer. Leaving behind lots of memories and great people who live hours away. Summer sixteen was here, and was what I thought would be pretty eventful. Having something to do everyday with friends I haven't seen in months, spending a few days a week at my internship, heading to the beach and going to the gym. Which yeah, I did all that in the first 5 days of break going to different things around Buffalo, but now I've officially hit the boredom stage of summer vacation. So now I just sit and wait, and hope someone comes up with an idea that will allow me to break the boredom.

Don't get my wrong, I love summer and all the relaxing and unlimited naps that it offers but, unless you have a vacation planned, some days are just going to be super super boring (even a nap can't make certain days better). Like if the weathers bad and you don't want to spend money, it looks like you'll be stuck inside watching Netflix and napping. You could clean, but you might have to be REALLY bored for that one to happen. These past 14 days have been eventful, going from park to park, walking the trails, laying out at the beach, going out to eat, starting my internship, catching up with old friends but slowly I can see these random adventures die down and turning into me napping all-day.

Seriously, everyone has a life, and different responsibilities on a day-to-day basis so everyday can't be a random trip to Niagara Falls or downtown Buffalo to look at the scenery. But in-between friends having jobs, and other family vacations, or obligations, or work for yourself, or maybe an internship you must complete, kind of forces you to look elsewhere for some fun since not everyone is free at the same time. Therefore, you might have to ask your brothers to hangout... As a last resort, of course. Or sitting on your laptop refreshing Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram while re-watching Grey's Anatomy for the 6th time, but who's counting...

(How can you not re-watch it with a face like that to look at...)

Although I would love to be on summer vacation all the time, and not have to worry about the stresses of school and waking up early, but boredom is a terrible thing. Which is making me wish it was time to go back to Keuka already, with all the great people I met, but we still have two months. So it looks like I'm going to have to be really creative these next 2 months and go out of my comfort zone to break the boredom and try to have the best summer yet. So here's to making summer '16 a little less boring.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
