Final exams are over, you can finally breathe again. Now you have the whole summer to do whatever you want, don't waste it. There are so many things you can do, run out of ideas? Here are nine things you should do this summer.
1. Sleep
First and foremost you should catch up on sleep. Don't judge me on this, I know it doesn't sound exciting but you survived finals, and even if that was weeks ago you still endured a lot. You need some time to recuperate. So, I may sleep for a week or two (or even three) but it's whatever, I deserve it I'm a survivor.
2. Eat
Once I finally resurrect from my hibernation, I know eating will be the next activity on my list. And I'm not talking McDonald's. Look up cool places to eat in your area, from coffee shops to burger places the possibilities are endless. There is a list I have of local diners, bakeries, ice cream places, cafes and brunch places that I've been dying to try and now that I actually have time, I'm not just going to eat anywhere.
4. Go to the beach
There is nothing I have missed more than the beach so you know that is where I am going to be spending 99 percent of my free time.
5. Read
Again, this may sound boring but I think it might actually be a fun change of pace to read something thats not a textbook or something that isn't mandatory. It's relaxing to read something that you will genuinely enjoy and an added bonus is that it will help expand your mind at the same time (without having to worry about an exam or deadline that comes along with it!)
6. Do something spontaneous.
Some of the best things you can do are completely unplanned so don't stick to a strict routine. It's summer time do something random and spontaneous!
7. Do something you never usually have time to do.
This one is pretty broad, but I feel like we all have something we have wanted try for a while, maybe a hobby or sport, but unfortunately, between classes, exams, assignments and work we don't have the time to try it. Maybe it's yoga, maybe it's cooking, or writing, or running. Whatever it is, when you have some free time this summer you should definitely try it, whatever it is.
8. Adventure
You don't even have to go far, take advantage of what you have near you. Go on a hike or a bike ride and just explore as much as possible.
9. Enjoy every moment.
Summer will not last forever (sadly) so definitely remember to make the most out of every experience you have. Whether it's going to the beach, going to concerts, spending time with friends and family or just working..try to have the most fun you possibly can and make as many memories as possible.
