So, right now it's June, but you have until the middle of August to do mostly...well...nothing!

I know you've been waiting for this and now that it's here, you realize you're bored, lazy and unproductive.

Here's a list of 50 things you can do over the Summer:

1. Develop a daily routine—follow it!

2. Start a blog.

3. Learn photography.

4. Meditate.

5. Go to the gym regularly.

6. Go for a swim.

7. Start doing Yoga.

8. Go on a road trip with a few close friends.

9. Learn how to cook.

10. Clean your room—but, like, properly.

11. Do charity work.

12. Sort out your clothes, accessories, and shoes by rearranging them.

13. Start a daily journal.

14. Watch a documentary (NOT a Netflix one).

15. Take an online course.

16. Learn a language.

17. Learn to draw.

18. Improve your handwriting skills.

19. Read a book.

20. Watch travel vlogs on YouTube.

21. Learn to sew.

22. Buy a coloring book—color!

23. DIY—anything.

24. Paint your nails.

25. Explore new music.

26. Watch movies that aren't in your first language.

27. Go on a holiday.

28. Play badminton with your friends.

29. Go for a walk in the park.

30. Explore new restaurants in town—write reviews online.

31. Help the homeless.

32. Enroll in a kickboxing class.

33. Do karate.

34. Learn how to read tarot cards (because why not?)!

35. Learn how to use Adobe Photoshop.

36. Learn how to edit music.

37. Learn how to edit videos—make vlogs!

38. Learn about a new country.

39. Explore your city a little more.

40. Arrange a photoshoot with your best friend.

41. Improve your writing skills.

42. Work on your resume.

43. Have a karaoke night with your friends.

44. Have a sleepover with your friends.

45. Learn a new form of dance.

46. Take time to educate yourself—become politically aware.

47. Build your social skills.

48. Start a food blog!

49. Go on a camping trip.

50. Do a short internship/job shadowing.

That's my list of the things you can do over the summer. From now on, every time you sit on the couch aimlessly scrolling through your social media asking yourself why you have nothing to do, know that there's always something out there. You ALWAYS have something to do.

Remember, you have three months. Use this time to develop as a person, discover yourself, and create a healthy lifestyle.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise
