Summer is the perfect time for new beginnings, memories, and adventures. There are only so many days in summer and there are so many incredibly fun things to do. Here is a small list of 20 things that should be on your summer to do list.
1. Take a road trip without a destination
Gather up your group of friends and hit the road. Jam to some music, eat all the snacks, and make unforgettable memories.
2. Volunteer
Give some of yourself to others. There are millions of different ways that you can help out.
3. Go to a concert and jam out
There is truly no better feeling than singing your favorite songs with thousands of strangers at a concert.
4. Go to the lake/ocean/beach/puddle/other bodies of water
Enjoy the sun while relaxing at the beach or in water. Go tubing, surfing, boating, paddle boarding, or skiing. There is really nothing like falling off a tube going over crazy waves. You could also go jump in some rain puddles, not the same effect as the lake, beach, or ocean, but you might still have some fun.
5. Eat all the ice cream, popsicles, and watermelon
Beat the heat with a nice summer treat. Eat a whole watermelon, find the best ice cream in the city, and cool down with an icy popsicle.
6. Go old school and go to a drive-in movie
Pick a movie that's coming out and get the gang together to go watch a movie under the stars.
7. Work
Make some money. You can't do all of these amazing things for free. Prepare for the future. Summer is the time to enjoy the beautiful weather, but also the time to make money and save.
8. Learn to cook
Try something new. Try different recipes, open yourself up to new foods, and be creative.
9. Stargaze
Lay out under the stars and just enjoy the night sky.
10. Relax, relax, relax
Take some time for yourself. Your mental health is important and summer is perfect to take time for yourself and do some of the things that you love. Plant a garden, read some new books, and pursue your hobbies.
11. Travel far and wide
Go find an adventure. Find new places in the world and go explore them. The world is so big, don't spend all your time in just one place.
12. Watch the sunset and sunrise
Get up early and go catch the sunrise. Listen to some soothing music and it will be the perfect way to start the day. End the day by listening to some more soothing music while watching the sky change colors.
13. Go for a bike ride
Bring the kid out in you and go for a nice joy ride around the town. Feel the summer breeze and find the best ice cream.
14. Water balloon fight
Gather up some friends and go to water balloon war.
15. Have a bonfire
Start a fire and make some s'mores. Get your friends all together and share stories, memories, and adventures.
16. Go to a carnival/fair
Fly around on some rides, eat all the fair food, and make incredible memories.
17. Buy some flowers
Summer is the perfect time to spring up your life with some color. Plant some flowers and brighten up your house or your yard.
18. Have a movie night
Find all of your favorite movies and have a movie marathon with some popcorn.
19. Go fishing
It's time to get outside and get back to nature. Go catch some fish for the fish fry that you and your friends and family will have later.
20. Find what makes you happy
Do the things that make you really happy. Now is the time to take time for yourself and figure out what you want.
