Summer has only started and the initial excitement has begun to wear off. By now the summer jobs have started, regular chores have returned and boredom has begun to set in. Luckily, my friends and I came up with a plan to avoid this very boredom. Together we made a list of all the things we want to do this summer. And while our list is long we are hoping to fit it all in. Here are some of the items on our list but also some other items which are equally as good boredom busters.
1. Go bowling
If you're not that good you can always use the bumpers. There is no shame!
2. Play some mini golf
Or go real golfing!
3. Take a weekend and hit garage sales
Whether going to garage sales or going to a local thrift shop, there is no beating those deals. And while you'll probably find a lot of things you don't need, you might find something you do need.
4. Go to the zoo
Some zoos even offer opportunities to feed some of the animals
5. Have a beach day
Drive out to your local water mass or go to the pool. You can play in the water or get a tan!
6. Go roller skating
You may fall but that's how you learn right?
7. Go to a baseball game
It's still baseball season so there is still time to catch a game or two. They may even have a deal going on some of the nights.
8. Have a water balloon fight
It's hot out, go be a kid again!
9. Go to the movies
Sooo many movies are coming out this summer, Finding Dory, X-Men: Apocalypse, Nerve, The Do Over, Ghostbusters. Make a list and go see them all!
10. Go ice skating
Again, falling's just part of the game.
11. Shop somewhere new
You have your favorite stores but try switching it up!
12. Take a road trip
Grab you friends and hit the road.
13. Binge watch Netflix
Watch a new show. Netflix has a lot to choose from.
14. Spend time with your family
They may annoy you and embarrass you but they love you and they probably miss you while you're gone.
15. Watch home videos
You're best moments may live on a video somewhere in your house and if not on a video maybe in an old picture album. Go dig them out and bask in the cuteness you were.
16. Rearrange your bedroom
It may be time for a fresh look at an old space.
17. Join a gym
Get fit over the summer and create some habits to last. It's more fun if you drag a friend with you.
18. Research graduate schools
Okay, so this may not be fun but if you plan on getting a master's degree it's never too soon to start looking. And you never know maybe you'll have fun dreaming about the future.
19. Catch up with old friends
They knew you and loved you through your awkward years, go show them you appreciate them and talk about all the weird stuff you did in high school.
20. Go to a local concert
Maybe you'll discover your new favorite band. At the least you'll probably make some fun memories.
21. Spend time with your siblings
Spend time actually getting to know them, maybe they've changed since you've been away. Maybe they even MISSED you!
22. Treat yourself to a dinner out
While a home-cooked meal is amazing enjoy the restaurants you may have missed while you were at school.
23. Go to the library
It may not sound like the funnest place on earth, your local library is really an untapped resource. Because not only can you get some new books, they also have movies, music and sometimes computer games for you to check out. They may even hold some summer events that you might want to check out. (Get it, check out, because it's a library?)
