If you're anything like me, you're two weeks into summer break and already don't know what to do with yourself. Sure, being home is nice at first, but then you realize it just doesn't compare to being at school. If you're looking for ways to cure your summer boredom, here are a few.
1. Learn to do something new
Want to finally use the yoga mat you bought five years ago? Perfect your Spanish? Cook something besides ramen? This is your chance. You have four months to learn something new and perfect it, so take advantage of it.
2. Get a job
This might not sound like the most fun way to spend your summer, but getting a summer job will give you valuable life experiences and is a great way to meet new people!
3. Take a road trip
Chances are, you have a friend who lives somewhere that you've never been before. Plan a weekend to visit them and see what their town has to offer.
4. Try new restaurants
Instead of going to all your usual favorite spots, try something new every time you go out to eat. Who knows, you might find a new favorite place!
5. Take a summer class
Take a class in something that interests you, that you may not have room in your schedule for during the school year. Bonus if the credits are transferrable to your university!
6. Read a book, not because you have to
Read a book that isn't school-related. Read because you want to, not because you have to. Ask around and find out favorite books of people you're close to and read those, maybe even revisit those dreaded AP English books from your senior year that you just read the sparknotes for, and actually read them.
7. Clean out your closet
Get rid of the clothes you've had since middle school that you "might wear for something." You're not going to wear it. You may be able to sell some stuff and make a few extra bucks, and then probably use that money to buy more clothes.
