At this point in the summer, the newness has worn off and boredom begins to set in. Instead of binge watching Netflix until school starts again, it is possible to enjoy this summer. So, get off the couch (or out of bed) and start having some fun. Go play catch, ride a bike, or try your hand out at a few of the activities listed below.

1. Go to the pool.

If your neighborhood has a pool, this is an easy summer activity with minimal extra cost. However, if you live in a neighborhood without a pool, then look to your local YMCA or community center.

2. Go to the park.

I know this is a novel concept but there are these things called parks and you can go to them and enjoy the outdoors. Most city websites will have information about their local park areas. Look them up online and find one to enjoy.

3. Go floating.

Some people like to spend time on the river, and floating is one of the most enjoyable ways to do so. If you really want to spend some time in nature, then float trips are the way to go.

4. Go to the movies.

Need a break from the heat? A summer blockbuster is a great way to have some fun and cool down from the blistering heat. Plus, there are some really good movies expected to be released this summer.

5. Go camping.

When living with indoor plumbing and central air conditioning gets to be too much, go live in the woods for a few days. If the woods seem to be too much, then the backyard works just as well.

6. Go to a waterpark.

When the weather gets hot, the waterpark is not. Actually, it's still the same temperature but the water helps you cool off.

7. Go to an amusement park.

If thrill seeker is more of your style, then your local amusement park is for you. On hotter days, try going in the evening when it is cooler and passes are cheaper.

8. Go to the gym.

Desperate for something to do? Live in a small town with very little options for fun? Spending some extra time at the gym will blow off time, release a rush of endorphins, and help you stay healthy. It’s a win-win.

9. Go to the library.

More of the bookish type? Desperate to get lost in a good book? Then the library is the place for you. There are bound to be summer activities that the library hosts in order to provide some extra enjoyment.

10. Go see a concert.

If music is your thing, then try seeing a concert. See a local band or splurge on a band's tour.

11. Take a hike.

A great way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise at the same time. Look into popular hiking spots near you and then throw on some shoes and enjoy the view.
