  7. Plan your future. Although summer is supposed to be fun and have less stress than any other time, planning your future is very important and will help you be less stressed as fall comes.

  8. Stargaze. Looking up at the stars and watching for shooting stars just has a magical sound to it. It is very relaxing and can get you with nature.

  9. Have fun. No matter what you do, have fun. Spend time with family, friends, animals, etc. Play games, have fun, get rowdy.

  12. Day in the sun. Spend a day soaking up some rays. Visit an aquarium, zoo, water park, or roller coaster park!

  13. Watch movies. Binge watch Netflix, go to a drive-in movie theatre, or have dinner date and watch one of the best movies for this summer.

  14. Plant trees. Be good and help the environment. Trees are so good for each and every person and it can make you feel so great to be doing something amazing for our earth!
