The writers are enjoying a good game of ping pong.

Summer is only days away and many high school students still do not have a clue as to what to do for fun over summer break. Do you sit around the house and live off of your parent’s money for three months? Do you break the springs in the couch, indenting the cushions for fun? Are you going to have the time of your life? If you are still unclear as to what you would like to do over the summer, consider these options.

Ping Pong Tournament

Do you and your friends find it hard to have fun without a TV and a video game console, or do you simply want to find an alternative? There is an answer to your call. And that answer is PING PONG. Oh, yes, the game you once thought was only intended to be played by the most mundane of people turns out to be your true calling. With a little determination and patience, you and your friends will connect and build stronger bonds between each other thanks to ping pong.

Mario Party Tournament

Do you hate being outside? Would you rather sit on a couch, all while having the time of your life with your friends/CPU? Maybe you don’t want friends anymore. Mario Party will solve all of these problems and more. The more you play, the more distant you become with your friends. The game is very competitive and might as well be the most stressful game you’ve ever played. Known around the Internet as “The game that ruins friendships,” Mario Party is a must for any summer fun.

Go to the beach [now]

So, you want to go to the beach, but you are too poor to afford it. Maybe your friend has a business tycoon uncle who owns a beach house in Sneads Ferry, N.C. The beach can be a bonding experience for you and all of your friends. The beach provides an excellent environment for telling ghost stories, meeting romantic partners, and just chillin’ with your friends.

Listen to rap music in your friend’s car

This is a good thing to do when you’re really bored, have some spare gas money, and have access to your mom’s car. Grab a couple of friends, choose some rap music, and hit the road. Rap music is the ideal style of music to blast out of your car because it will annoy the most people. Some rappers that you should listen to in the car are Kendrick Lamar, Lil Ugly Mane, Yung Lean, and maybe even a little Based God. Be sure to know the lyrics or it won’t be fun and your friends won’t invite you again.

Go to a local concert

You can really become a “hipster” by doing this over the summer. Get to know the music of local artists, so you can decide what show will be best for you. If you can’t get into any of the music, pretend to. Nobody will notice. Local bands like T0w3rs and the Love Language are always playing shows at local venues like the Cats Cradle in Carrboro, Kings Barcade and the Lincoln Theatre in Downtown Raleigh, and many more.

Attend a protest [now]

 Are you angry at the government? Are you willing to be arrested for a just cause? Maybe you want to meet a vegan, hippie girlfriend who has the same political ideologies as yourself. All of these things and more will happen if you attend a local protest. Liberals and conservatives alike can both attend rallies and protests aimed at voicing concerns about local and national political issues.

If you have decided to take part in any of the activities listed, prepare for the summer of your life. These stories will become monumental events in your life that you may, one day, want to tell your grandchildren.
