Summer. Just hearing the word gives me a warm feeling in my stomach. Beautiful weather filled with endless nights and mornings with countless adventures and activities to take place in. Everything just seems better in the summer, including the amount of activities you can do. Though there is nothing wrong with spending summer days laying in a beach chair, here are some not as common activities you could try out for this summer.
1. Buy a concert ticket to see a band you know nothing about.
No, not even the type of music. You and your friend can try and guess what kind of music the band plays, and dress accordingly. It could be interesting showing up in a country outfit to a punk rock concert. Plus, it'll be cool to hear a local band play.
2. Play a game of manhunt.
Childhood would not be the same without this late-night game with neighbors. You're never too old to have some fun. Get together some friends and relive one of the most exciting games to play when you were younger. Wearing all black is, of course, still necessary.
3. Let someone else order your meal at a restaurant.
I admit that I am guilty of ordering the same meal at the same restaurant every single time once I find one that I love. Try a new restaurant with a friend and have them pick a meal for you without knowing what it is until it is right in front of you. You may be surprised.
4. Go to an old movie theatre that plays old films.
Going to the movies is the most basic date one could go on. Mix it up a little and put a twist on the average date night by going to an old movie theatre and catching a nice black and white film.
5. Go on a picnic.
Another childhood memory that faded too soon. All you need is a park or a nature spot, a good group of friends, and you're set for a good day. Bring some KanJam and spike ball, too.
6. See a movie at the drive-in.
This is another option better than just a regular movie theater. Whether it be a date or a night with friends, the drive-in never disappoints. First, you can get there early and throw a frisbee and just enjoy the atmosphere. There is plenty of candy, snacks and food to choose from as well, but you can also fit unlimited snacks in your car. You can watch the movie feeling as comfy as being at home while still being out.
7. Go on a bike ride.
This you can do alone, on a date, or with friends. Take a bike and you can honestly go anywhere. Preferably choose a nice scenic route; but what's more enjoyable than a great view, relaxation, and exercise while you're at it?
