- Have a water balloon fight with a sibling or neighbor
- Lay three Jolly Ranchers next to each other on a cookie sheet, place in the oven for 5 minutes at 200 degrees. Take out and place a stick in them while they are still sticky. Fun lollipops!
- Put food coloring into pancake mix and pour in fun shapes for a yummy and colorful snack.
- Online shop for your room re-do. Try stores like Ikea, Pottery Barn Teen, and other furniture websites and make a mood-board
- Take a walk to a local Starbucks in winter, and pick up a Caramel Apple Spice or in Summer buy an ice-cream. Try calling a friend you don't hang out with often to meet you there.
- Ask your mom, or older sister, if they have any old clothes that you can have. Look through them and find anything cute, and anything worth re-purposing.

- Gather all the blankets and pillows from around your house and make a giant fort in your living room. Invite your siblings to come and chill with you. Even bring a laptop or tablet in to watch a movie or play games.
- Search 'free monogram printouts' on Google and try making a few. Print them for cute, custom binder covers.
- Dress up in work-out gear and try one of your parent's exercise videos. Make sure to warm up first though!
- Lay out all your clothes and come up with different outfits. Take pictures, for those days where you have no ideas.
Warnings
