For most people, summer is a time to escape reality. However, those of us that lead busy lives tend to become overwhelmed at this time. How? We're not used to having this much free time so we have no idea what to do with it. Times that the weather is hot and sunny are the perfect days to be doing activities rather than staying in watching Netflix all day. Unsure of what to do? Listen to some advice from Spongebob Squarepants and get your summer started!
1. Try something new
It can be anything. Whether it's a new food to a new activity, there's always something to try.

2. Visit an amusement park
Amusement parks provide entertainment for every age! Head to your nearest amusement park for a thrilling day with friends that will leave you exhausted and ready for bed.
3. Road trip
If you're anything like me, you love exploring new places. And summer is the perfect time to do so!
4. Enjoy nature
This goes along with trying something new. But honestly, this Earth is beautiful. We should all take a moment to "slow down and smell the roses" every once in awhile. Use this summer as an opportunity to go for a hike or enjoy a local park.
5. Go outside of your comfort zone
This is different for everyone, but it can range from doing something daring to simply talking to someone new. A good example of this is that summer is the perfect time to try out a new hair cut/color. If you do it early enough, you have time to fix it without dreading going to school the next morning,
6. Have a 'treat yo self' day
We should all take a little bit of time for ourselves. Personally, I would suggest going shopping or taking a trip to the nail salon. However, if you're more of a lay-on-the-beach-and-read kind of person, take a trip down to the shore and set up for a day of relaxation all by yourself.
7. Go to a concert
Why not?
8. Spend quality time with loved ones
Let's be honest, between school, work and a social life when do any of us have time to really spend time lounging around with the family? Use summer to soak up the sun with your loved one's by your side.
9. Relax on the beach
Whether you prefer cooling down in the water or just lounging in the sun, the beach can be a place to escape reality and just enjoy some free time.
10. Sleep in
Need I say more?
Sure, it's the nearing the end of the summer but it's not over yet. If you've spent the past few months lounging around in you jammies while watching movies all day (nothing wrong with that!) then it's time you start to enjoy the nice weather and the freedom of summer. If this list isn't for you, use it as a base to start engaging in the summer you had planned back in those brutal summer months.
Remember, YOU DESERVE THIS BREAK.
