After a long school year, summer is finally here. While I am already missing school, it is nice to have some time to unwind and relax. Days basking in the sun and long summer nights are finally here. Here are some ways that you can be productive and make the most out of your summer.

1. Eat right.

Making a step towards a healthier lifestyle always makes everyone feel better. Skipping Wendy's 4 for $4 and opting for a salad will make your skin clearer and waist slimmer.

2. Or don't...

Summer is filled with fun treats you just can't resist like ice cream. Remember to treat yourself once in a while.

3. Get a great tan.

Everyone looks better with a tan so just lay out and soak in those summer rays.

4. Try a new look.

Summer is the perfect time to do something new. Whether it is changing your wardrobe a bit, cutting your hair, or even dying it a new color, it is a great time to be bold and try something different.

5. Work out and get the body of your dreams.

Summer is the perfect time to go running outside and work out. It definitely beats being inside at the gym and will help you to go outdoors and enjoy the weather.

6. Catch up with old friends.

Now that everyone is back from college, it gives you time to enjoy spending time with your old friends.

7. Try something new.

Go and get out of your comfort zone. Whether it is trying out a new hobby or going hiking, surfing, or traveling, just go out and do something.

8. See your favorite artist perform.

With artists like Drake, Rihanna, and Beyonce, on tour, summer 2016 is filled with amazing concerts so go out and see your favorite artists live.

9. Read some great books.

Books are food for the soul so dive into one and enrich your mind.

10. Capture all the memories.

Remember to take videos and pictures of all the memories you made. You will thank yourself later.
