It's no secret that summers in small towns can get a little boring. Small towns in general are often labeled as boring, but when you have three months of nothing to do, not even school, things can be extra dull. The words "there's nothing to do" and "I'm so bored" have come out of my mouth countless times throughout my summers. So, what to kids stuck in these mundane places do to pass the time? We create ways to entertain ourselves. Here are a few.
1. Swim in a local lake/river/creek
2. Have bonfires
Fires are a summer staple that are easy and cheap.
3. Just drive around and jamming out
Those times spent just driving around aimlessly with your best buds can be more fun and memorable than anything else.
4. Go to the nearest big city
Sometimes, you just need to get out and go somewhere bigger. For my friends and me, it's Pittsburgh.
5. Go out to eat
95% of my money goes to food.
6. Hang out in parking lots
Sometimes, there's just literally nothing else to do.
7. Get a job
It's better than sitting around the house, right?
8. Go outside
If, you live in a small town, there's a good chance it has some beautiful scenery. Explore it!
