Even though it's still cold outside, I am done with this winter. I can't wait to throw out my textbooks in exchange for sunglasses. Here are ten things I want to do over summer break, and maybe you can do them too!
1. Go to the beach
This is very basic for an item on a summer bucket list, but how can one not go to the beach? Soaking up sun rays and swimming in the ocean or lake is how summer should start.
2. Go hiking
Take a break from watching Netflix and explore the great outdoors. Hiking lets you view gorgeous places you wouldn't see if you sat inside. It's also active and a great way to exercise.
3. Go on a road trip
Take some friends, jump in a car, and drive. Turn up the music and let the worries you had during the school year wash away. Even if you only have a couple of free days, explore some areas you haven't been to before. You might find a new place to hang or a great place to eat.
4. Go to an amusement park
Ahh amusement park rides. They bring a lot of memories back from when I was a child, but I actually haven't gone on a roller coaster in a long while. Take a break from school or work and ride and relax by riding some crazy roller coasters and eating cotton candy.
5. Read a book
Chances are over the school year; you've probably only read books that were required for your classes. Head to the library and pick up a book. It's relaxing, and you'll get to read something you actually want to read.
6. Have a BBQ
The warm weather makes it a great time to have a BBQ. What is summer without having some friends and family over, throwing some food on the grill and relax?
7. Try a new hobby
If you get bored during your summer break, look into finding a new hobby. Enroll in an art class to learn how to paint, or take up slack-lining. People tend to stick with what they know, but why not learn a new skill. You might find out you're really good at something. Personally, I really want to learn how to knit, and hope to learn how to make a hat this summer.
8. Go stargazing
If you're anything like me, the last time you truly looked at the sky at night, it was for your middle school astronomy homework. The universe is truly amazing, and stargazing in the summer could be a great date or an activity with your friends.
9. Go camping
Camping - you might love it or you might hate it. It seems like there are also a lot of people who say they hate camping, but have never gone camping. Before I went camping for the first time, I thought I would hate it, but it was actually a ton of fun. You can get away from the city and enjoy the wilderness, while goofing off with friends.
10. Have a bonfire
Since the weather is nice out, summer is the best time to have a bonfire. My favorite parts about bonfires are making s'mores and telling ghost stories.
