Well your flight from school has landed and you have finally unpacked (well at least one bag), now it's time to start your summer vacation. The best tips for the summer come from the folks in the Upper East Side, of course. Enjoy!
1. Spend quality time with family.
Being gone for nine months, you can now have a new found appreciation for your family and all their quirks. This summer, try and spend as much with them as possible and just make memories.
2. Catch up on your beauty sleep.
Now that school is over, it's time to catch some Zs. Instead of waking up for those dreaded 8 a.m. classes, now you can have a leisurely morning with some coffee and a good book.
3. Hang out with your high school BFFs.
Now is the time to reconnect with old friends and show them that you didn't forget them. Go get some coffee, go shopping and just plain have fun.
4. Apply for a summer internship.
The summer is the perfect time to find an internship to help boost your resume. Paid or not, internships are a great way to explore future careers, gain new skills, and impress employers.
5. Find a new hobby.
You have all this free time, what will you do with it? Pick something up that you've always wanted to try. Maybe that's fashion design like Miss Jenny Humphreys, or photography. Whatever it is, give it a shot.
6. Capture moments AKA take pictures.
It's so much fun to look back on your summer and see everything that you've done and been. So let the Instagramming and Snapchatting begin.
7. Exercise.
You know those times over the school year you said you were going to carve out time to work out but never did, because something "came up"? Well the summer is the perfect time to hit the gym, beach, or running trail. Make it a fun outing and exercise with friends and go get smoothies afterwards.
8. Be adventurous.
Explore your surroundings and all that your city/state has to offer. Jump in the car and start exploring. Also, don't forget to capture your new discoveries.
9. Don't forget to catch some sun by the pool.
Of course you can't forget this great summer pastime. Grab a good book, your favorite shades and a fun drink and lounge away.
