Summer is finally here and we don't have to worry about studying so much. Unless, you chose to take summer classes, like me. You can do so much now that you have a few months of freedom. Here are just a few ideas to try this summer.
1. Try New Recipes/Cocktails
Check out Pinterest for new recipe ideas. Invite some friends over to try the recipes together! Cocktails can be especially fun to recreate! Even if the recipes don't come out great, it is still fun to get together with friends and try new things! Try your hand at something new that you never would think that you would eat! You might be surprised to find out that you like something new!
2. Road Trip
Road trips are one of my favorite things to do in the summertime. You can travel with a group of friends or with family, or with your significant other. Either way, it can be really fun. You can take a road trip for a day, a weekend, a week, or however long you wish. Just grab a few snacks, some good music, and some good friends and you're all set to have a good trip. Sightseeing is always more fun with friends!
3. Explore Your Hometown
Is there something back home that you have always wanted to do but you never had time to do it in your home town? Well, this summer is the perfect opportunity to do so. If not, research your town's history and try to learn more about where you came from. There are a few art museums in my hometown that I have never been to before. That is one of my goals for the summer. You might be surprised about the history of your hometown!
4. DIYs
Summer is a great time to try your hand at making new things. You can try them solo, or invite friends over to help. Check out Pinterest for ideas. You can even sell the DIYs to pocket some extra cash this summer! Try your hand at DIYs. You might be surprised at how easy and fun making things can be. You can also check out YouTube for inspiration.
5. Watch Netflix
If all else fails, you can watch marathons on Netflix. Netflix has tons of good shows and movies to watch and you can watch with friends. It can also make a good date night in. Pizza and Netflix nights with my boyfriend are the best! It can be a cheaper alternative than going to the movies, plus you won't have to worry about noisy people in the theater.
6. Write for The Odyssey
Being part of a team that reaches its peers through writing has proven very rewarding. Guess what? You can be part of this team too! Just go online to https://www.theodysseyonline.com/ to get started! We would love to have you and we can't wait to hear from you!
