We all have those summers where we work and are busy, but what about the summers we don't work? — I know, who doesn't work over the summer? Well for those who have nothing but time and no job all summer, for whatever reason, what do we do besides watch television? I spent my summer between North Carolina and Florida so I didn't have time to get a job.

I sat around on the couch and in the room all summer just watching shows on my phone, hello eye strain, right? I must've binged at least ten different shows and caught up on another ten that were on T.V. at the time. I mean it was a constant watch a few episodes, charge phone, watch some more. My eyes were constantly dry and I stared on my phone for about I would say maybe sixteen hours a day at the most.

Here are five things I wish I did all summer besides binge tv shows.

1. Do Yoga

Yoga is the best of both worlds, you workout and you get to keep yourself busy. The motivation to start and continue with doing yoga may be hard, but persevere, it’ll be worth it in the end.

2. Read More Books

Giphy

Be like Belle and read all the books - if that’s your thing. I read two books all summer. If I tried, I probably could’ve read at least six or seven.

3. Go To The Beach

Giphy

The gentle waves, the soft sand between your toes, and the sun caressing your face. The smell of saltwater. There's nothing better.

4. Take A Walk

Giphy

I like to take walks through or near nature, it helps clear my head.

5. Work

Lastly, WORK.

Throughout the summer, due to the fact that I was traveling between states and wasn't in either one for a long enough time to get a job and work, I ended up sitting and watching T.V. on my phone every day for hours at a time.

That's two to three whole months of watching T.V. for about sixteen hours a day. There was a lot that I wished I could do instead but while in North Carolina, there was only one car, my grandmother's, and she works Monday through Friday so the only way I could leave the house and not watch T.V. was on weekends when she would go to the store and to church.

So if you're like me this summer and had nothing to do, here's a list of potential things to do.
