This past week, I have found myself more excited over the fact that finals over than the fact that it's now summer. Going from having almost no free time to an abundance of free time is a tough transition, and it is important to learn to make the most of the time you have to yourself. While it may be tempting to spend your days watching the newest Netflix series (and while it is perfectly okay to indulge from time to time), 3 months from now you will be wishing that you spent your summer being productive. With that being said, here are some things to do this summer to make the most of your three months of freedom:
1. Watch the sunrise on the beach
2. Go camping in the mountains (or in your backyard)
3. Go on a hike
4. Go to a drive-in movie theater
5. Stargaze
6. Have a bonfire
7. Make s'mores
8. Take a road trip to a place you have never been to before
9. Perform random acts of kindness
