Hello Teachers,

If you're aiming to be more rebellious this summer, here are some ideas.

10 Ways Teachers Can Rebel This Summer

1. Use the bathroom whenever you please.

2. Finish a cup of coffee while it's hot.

3. Eat lunch in a span longer than six or seven minutes.

4. Do something for fun with no expectation of collecting data.

5. Tell your adult friends to stop "aura farming."

6. Throw a paper dart at your in-laws' ceiling.

7. Repeatedly ask people, "Wait... what day is it?"

8. Take a power nap at 1:00 p.m., then text your friends about how incredible it was.

9. Read a book for fun.

10. Flip off the back-to-school section at Target.
