Lazy Summer. 5 Things To Do When You're Bored.

So it's the summer before my senior year of highschool, and i haven't accomplished a single thing yet. I've spent my days lounging around, hanging out and being lazy, and now it's already the middle of august! I wanted to do soo much too. Get a job, complete my college entrance portfolio, read four books (I haven't finished the first yet!). There's still time, but i know not everything i wanted to do will get done. Anyway, to commemorate my laziness, here is a list of 10 things to do when you're bored during summer.

5. - Learn about something that interests you.

Now you may be saying, "Hey, it's summer! Learning is for fags!", but learning about something that interests you is a great way to spend your time. And with all the resources available on the Internet, there's no excuse. I myself have spent hours learning about nuclear bomb disposal, and eastern philosophy. So whether it's a language or a martial art you want to learn about, go for it!

4. - Ride a bicycle.

This is a great option when you're bored. Riding a bicycle isn't just great cardio exercise, it's also great fun. So you can have a great time, while keeping your body healthy. I prefer the excitement of mountain biking, and there's a great trail near my house, but you might just enjoy casual city biking. Riding a bike gives you a great sense of freedom, so whatever style you choose, make sure to have fun!

3. - Experiment With Making Art.

Making art is fun, and productive. You may be saying "But i can't draw!". Well i understand, but why not try getting some acrylic paint ($1.92 per bottle at a craft store, or wally world) and making an abstract painting? Or making a sculpture out of objects you find around the house? Robots are always fun to make! The sky is the limit. And if you make something that looks good, you could always try selling it on etsy and making some extra cash.

2. Create a Cafepress Store.

Creating a cafepress store can be a truly fun and rewarding experience... and it can make you some extra money! Have a funny saying that you always thought should be on a t-shirt? Well make it, and sell it! It's easy. You can start by installing a free graphics program like GIMP (if you don't already have a similar program. It's simple to use. I'd suggest starting out with opening basic shops for each one of your t-shirt ideas, and then opening a premium shop if you start getting sales. It might seem like it's not working at first, but trust me, your first sale will seem amazing!

1. Download Good Movies And Music You Have Never Experienced.

Have you always heard about how good a certain movie or band was, but never actually experienced it for yourself? Well here is the perfect opourtunity to do so! (legally of course, I'm not condoning or encouraging illegal activity ;])
