25 Things To Do This Summer

The semester is over and it's finally summer. You have a couple months off from school, so make the best of it. Here are a few ideas to get you started so you're not sitting around bored!

1. Go to the beach

Have a fun beach day and spend time outside soaking up the sun.

2. Have a bonfire

Having a bonfire is always fun. Don't forget to make s'mores!

3. Go camping

Camping can be fun and is also relatively inexpensive. It's like a mini-vacation.

4. Go to a concert

Look up concerts near you and grab some friends and go enjoy some music.

5. Go to the zoo

Check out a local zoo and relive your childhood days.

6. Go to a waterpark

Waterparks can be so much fun in the summer and an awesome way to spend a day.

7. Go to a festival

If you've never been to a festival, I highly recommend going to at least one! It can be a two-day festival or a weekend long camping festival-but both will be a great time.

8. Find a carnival

Something about carnivals is just so nostalgic.

9. Work out

Work out at home, at the gym, or go on a run.

10. Go to an amusement park

This can be a day trip or a weekend trip, but if you like rollercoasters, this one is for you.

11. Late night drive

Late at night when there's nothing to do, driving aimlessly and blasting music with friends can be such a good time. You never know what interesting places you'll find.

12. Work

Make money and save it up with a summer job. Some places have nice employee discounts too!

13. Take a mini road trip

Road trips with friends are such a good time. You tend to end up becoming closer with these friends when you basically live with them for a little while-even if it's in a car.

14. Plan a vacation

If you can go on a nice vacation this summer, do it. Explore a new place and relax.

15. Go swimming

Unsplash

Find a pool, beach, or even hot tub and enjoy the weather while you can.

16. Check out nearby cities

Unsplash

It could be a small town or a big city, but check out a new place you've never been to.

17. Meet up with college friends

Unsplash

Meeting up with college friends over the summer is great. You can catch up on everything, and you're able to hang out with people you thought you might not see for a couple months.

18. Visit family

Unsplash

Spend time with your family while you're home.

19. Go see a movie

Unsplash

Check out that new movie you've been dying to see.

20. Or go to a drive-in

Unsplash

Drive-ins are an even better version of movie theaters in the summer, and they're nostalgic too.

21. Catch a sunrise or sunset

Unsplash

Wake up early and find a nice place to watch a sunrise. There are some beautiful sunsets during the summer that you should take time to watch and just relax.

22. Go shopping

Unsplash

I'm sure you'll want to buy some new clothes over the summer. This one is a good idea to do on rainy days too.

23. Plan out your schedule

Unsplash

Plan out your schedule for summer or even for fall. Get ahead so you'll be more organized later.

24. Try a new sport or activity

Unsplash

Find a new sport or activity to try. You might find out you're actually good at it.

25. Play mini golf

Unsplash

Putt-putt can be a fun activity for families, friends, and couples.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
