Now that most of us are on summer break or will be soon, the question of what to do this summer begins to come up. To help assist in answering that, here's 15 things you should do this summer.
1. Read a book.
Summer is the perfect time to go lay a blanket outside and read a book. Try reading a book you've always have been interested in reading but have never done.
2. Visit a new beach.
Sometimes going to the same beach can get old, try something new and visit a new beach. Maybe it's one that's close by that you've never gotten around to, or maybe it's one farther away that makes going to the beach more of a day adventure.
3. Try learning a language.
This summer try learning that one language that you've always been fascinated with. A great way to do this is with the app Duolingo. It even gives the option of sending daily reminders to practice.
4. Go to the Farmer's Market.
Even if you don't plan on buying anything it's fun to just walk around and people watch while you're there.
5. Try a new coffee shop.
There are probably coffee shops that you've heard amazing things about but you've never gotten around to it, now is the time to try it out.
6. Spend a day baking with friends.
This is something I love doing with my friends. At the beginning of the summer we'll write down desserts we want to make and we try to get through the list before the summer is over.
7. Catch up with an old friend.
If you had one friend that you're bummed about losing touch with over the year, summer is a perfect time to get back in touch with them.
8. Go to garage sales.
Go to garage sales with your mom, or a friend. Maybe you'll find an amazing find. And if you don't you still got to spend the day with someone you care about.
9. Go to a parade.
If someone tries to tell you that parades are for kids, they're a party pooper and you don't need that kind of person in your life. Parades are fun for everyone.
10. Do a DIY.
Do it yourselfs can either be a lot of work, or super easy. Either way they're fun to try. Do it with a friend, if you're worried about your skill level.
11. Try something new.
For example this summer I'm going to try and do yoga at least 3 times a week. It's something I've always have wanted to get into and now is the perfect time to start.
12. Have a movie marathon with your best friends.
Whether it's a "Harry Potter" marathon, or a scary movie marathon. They're fun to do with friends.
13. Play a game of beach volleyball.
Beach volleyball is one of my favorite things to do, even if you're not good at volleyball it's still so much fun to play with friends.
14. Have a water balloon fight.
Pick a day that will be really warm, and get all of your friends or your family together and have a water balloon fight. Just make sure you pick up the pieces at the end to make sure no animals choke on them.
15. Listen to a new artist.
I love constantly discovering new artists. But it can be a long process sometimes. Summer is the perfect time to take the time to discover some new favorite artists.
Hopefully if you get bored at any point during the summer you get a chance to do at least one of the things on this list.
