Being bored is something that is real and happens way too often. Quite frankly being bored can be dangerous. Personally being bored means grabbing snack after snack. The following are all things that will help you have a good time (and will prevent you from putting on a few pounds) whether you're alone, with a group of people, or with your BFF.

25 Things to do when you're alone:

1. Write a book or write a journal entry

2. Learn how to cook

3. Teach your pet a new trick

4. Go shopping online

5. Design your dream home

6. Download new apps on your cell phone

7. Start a new television series

8. Begin learning a new language

9. Catch up on homework or even get ahead on school work

10. Take a nap

11. Play HQ (for those of you who aren't familiar with HQ it's a game show on your phone where you can win real cash)

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.
