5 Great Ways To Spend Your Summer

In This Article:

With summer quickly approaching, many of us are in need of a way to spend it. Whether it be daily beach trips, or learning how to code, this list provides great brainstorming for the coming months of fun.

1. Go to the beach!

An obvious entry in any list about summertime. Nothing can beat driving a group of friends out to the beach on a hot summer day followed by a shower and a long afternoon nap.

2. Go fishing

Fishing isn't for everyone, but it is by far the most relaxing of outdoor activities. The barrier to entry for fishing is lower than ever before, just an hour watching tutorial videos and you can be fishing in no time.

3. Take a road trip

Personally, one of my favorite summer traditions is taking a road trip with friends. Just a pick a city none of you have ever been to, load up the car with some snacks, make a playlist, and just drive.

4. Take advantage of yard sales

Most yard sales tend to happen during the summer and on Saturday and Sunday mornings and can be extremely fun to look around. You never know what valuable items you can find for incredibly low prices as the primary purpose of a yard sale is to clean out a house and not to make huge profits.

5. Learn a skill

This activity can seem very broad, but it is actually pretty simple. With the extra free time during the summer it is a great time to pick up a skill you have been wanting to learn, or even an instrument. With just a few hours of practice a day you can excel in just about anything!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
