Summer
break is the number one season that all students look forward to. There are
only 76 days of summer vacation and every day should be spent eventfully before
heading back to school. No more excuses for summer boredom. If you are lacking summer
plans, here are some activities to pack your summer with.
Outdoor
Activities: Go
on a nature walk. There are so many outdoor activities that keep your body in
motion. (Swimming, running, biking, hiking, etc.) After some exercise sit under
a shady tree and enjoy a picnic with friends. Display the beauty of summer
flowers fully in bloom by planting some in a garden or in your own yard. Later
in the day as the sun goes down, enjoy some outdoor camping with friends
followed by a bonfire and some late night stargazing. Try to go on a clear
night, in order to see the stars.
Work
your Mind: During
the school year students are typically busy with homework and studying, which
does not leave much time for leisure reading. Take advantage of summer by
reading and/or writing a book you would enjoy. You can also expand your talent
this summer by learning to play a musical instrument.
Be
Creative: Buy
a tie-dye kit, a white shirt, and gather up a group of friends. Tie-dying is a
fun and beautiful summer activity to express yourself. Don’t forget to take
lots of pictures and videos of all the fun things you will be doing this
summer. You can use these pictures to form a collage or a summer scrapbook, and
use the film to make a summer movie with some of your closest friends. There
are so many apps to help you and your friends produce your very own movie.
Redecorating your room is also a great way to be creative this summer. Make
your own DIY decorations by getting ideas from, YouTube, Pinterest or Tumblr.
Out
and About: Take
a vacation. Whether you are playing in the water or relaxing on the sand, the
beach and the pool are great places to be on a summer day. While on vacation,
visit a local museum or a local concert to make for a fun night.
Movie Night: Invite a couple of
friends over for a sleepover. Sleepovers
are fun, but scary movie sleepovers are even better. There’s nothing like
screaming in terror with a group of your closest friends. There are thousands
of great movies on Netflix to choose from. Pour some drinks, pop some popcorn
and enjoy the movie.
