Spice Up Your Summer With These 10 Fun Activities
Travel Channel

Most of us are heading into finals or already packing up our stuff to head home for the summer. Either way, you’ve probably begun to get excited about the fun and relaxing summer days ahead of you. But if you’ve suddenly realized that you don’t have anything planned besides sleeping in and binge watching Netflix, this is the article for you!

1. On a lazy day, find a hammock to lie around in (hopefully somebody you know has one). Try to fit as many people as you can, or get one friend to lie in it and test their reflexes by swinging the hammock upside down!

2. Have a bonfire. Gather some friends and firewood on a warm evening and sit around the fire chatting. Keep adding wood and other bits and pieces to the blaze even when your friends caution you to stop. #YOLO, right?

3. Go camping for a weekend! Swim, hike, or just hang out, but come prepared with spooky sound clips and fake blood so you can tell a truly terrifying ghost story once the sun goes down. To be prepared for the worst, it’s a good idea to scream really loudly in the middle of the night, just to make sure your friends will all wake up if there’s a real emergency.

4. Make a picnic to share with your friends! They might say that having it in a graveyard is “creepy” or “weird,” but you made them food so they should just be grateful.

5. Costume party! Dress up as Elsa and bring dry ice to throw at people. If they complain, just tell them to Let It Go. They’ll applaud your realism!

6. Get up early one morning to watch the sunrise. If you don’t want to go alone, show up at a friend’s house at around 4am and bang on their door until someone answers. Once they’re up, they might as well go with you, right?

7. Fireworks are a classic summer activity. For a fun DIY twist, try making your own fireworks! Just make sure to get a permit to set them off first!

8. Beat the heat! Buy some bagged ice at the grocery store and build a throne out of it. At this point, you should probably put the Elsa costume back on. Become the ruler of your own ice kingdom. Rule with an iron fist. Show no mercy.

9. Blow bubbles! Made of hydrogen gas! Set them ablaze. Watch them burn. Burn.


10. When summer comes to a close, hold a luau party to bid a fond farewell to those carefree, happy days and to get ready for fall. Luau parties traditionally include roasting a pig over a fire. However, as luau parties are culturally insensitive, abandon the premise altogether and just sacrifice the pig to the merciless gods of your choosing. Hopefully the gods will ensure that next summer is just as great as this one was! (Disclaimer: Please do not do any of this. Please.)

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
