Summer can be one of the greatest times of the year but also one of the worst. For us students, we have been waiting all year to be free from our school work. But, when summer gets here, we sometimes have no idea what to do and end up sitting in our house bored. So, to keep you from sleeping in all day, here is a list of 11 things you can do over the summer!
1. Go to the beach
The beach is always a great place to go for the summer. A great activity to do at the beach is collect shells! It would serve as a great memory of the times spent with your family and friends.
2. Have a BBQ
A BBQ is a great way to get everyone together. Pigging out on hotdogs and hamburgers is a must for the summer! And, to all my Marylanders, who could miss out on the beautiful blue crabs? Yum! An activity to end the night is a bonfire. How can anyone turn down s’mores?
3. Go to the museum
The museum is a good way to expand your mind. Depending on the museum, you can learn so much about art, history, and more. I love visiting the Smithsonian Museums in DC. I have been so many times, it never gets old. Plus, they are free!
4. Do volunteer work
Volunteering is a great way to build up your resume and keep you busy over the summer. It also makes you feel good about yourself for helping to make your community a better place. You could also do volunteer work in a different country if you are feeling a bit adventurous!
5. Go camping
Remember how I mentioned bonfires at BBQs? Well, you can do it on a greater scale while you are out camping! This is also a great way to escape from your electronics (but of course there is always time to snap a few photos) and get in touch with nature. There are so many fun activities to do while camping as well.
6. Go hiking
Are you a person who always wants to workout but has no motivation to? Well, hiking will be your best friend over the summer. You don’t even realize you are working out because you are just walking. You can also make this work out more fun by inviting your friends along with you.
7. Learn a new cooking recipe

Learning new recipes is exciting and helps you to learn new things. You can try this with your friends so, if the food tastes bad, you’re not the only one to blame! In the event that the food turns out really well, then you have a new dish to add to your dinner list!
8. Learn a new language
There are really great benefits to learning a new language such as increasing your memory and making you more desirable in the workforce. Not only that, you can communicate to so many new people! You can also travel abroad to practice your new language.
9. Go to an amusement park
Amusement parks are always one of the summer go-to activities. There is also a lot of good deals that amusement parks give out over the summer. And, when it is scorching hot outside, the water park is where it is at!
10. Go to a concert
There are a lot of concerts and music festivals all summer long. It is great way to get out and enjoy the sun and spend time with your friends! You might even find a new favorite band!
11. Check Facebook
If any of these don’t fancy you, then you can always check Facebook for events around town. If you are on your Facebook app, click on the “More” tab then click on the “Events” tab. From there, you can see all upcoming events and even search for ones by categories.
Summer is a great time to get out and try new things! Got a great summer idea? Post it here to share with others! Let us know what you do when schools out!
