There's a lot of pressure to make use of your summer. But, it can be pretty difficult to enjoy your summer when you're always running out of time or money. Here are a few ideas to turn your boring summer into an awesome one!
Go camping in your car
It's the easiest yet most fun summer activity that exists. It only takes a car and a blanket! Additional perk: waking up and watching the sunrise.
Go on a bike ride
Biking is my favorite way to experience the outdoors and get exercise in the summer.
Catch fireflies in mason jars
This always brings me back to my childhood. I'd catch fireflies with my cousin every night, and then we'd go get ice cream. Definitely my favorite summer memory.
Take a mini road trip
Even if it's just an hour away, there's a million things you can do on the way. You can sing with friends to playlists from the early 2000's (my personal favorite), make a vlog, or play road trip games.
Hang out with people you haven't seen in a while
This one takes a little planning, but it's worth it every time.
Have a lazy Sunday
If you get a free day, you don't have to do anything at all. It's really good for your mental health to just relax and enjoy the day.
Go to the lake
Lake days are a classic summer favorite.
Learn something new
We have an endless amount of information at our fingertips! Use the internet, read a book, or watch the news to learn about something you're curious about.
Start a little garden
Your garden can either be artificial with little hassle (and be a really cute decoration) or real with all the benefits of home-grown food.
Start a journal
Starting a journal can be a great way to vent, remember memories, or be creative.
