It is only a few short weeks away, and many of us can not wait another minute. That’s right! I am talking about Summer!
*Cue “In Summer” from Frozen*
For many of us, Summer is about rejuvenating and relaxing. It is a time where we can take a step back and smell the roses. However, for some people, Summer is a time of boredom because they do not know how to spend their time. I can understand this. Summer is great, but sometimes you do not feel productive. You want to get up and move or do something. What many of us tend to forget is that we have such a large variety of things to do that we do not even think about. Why not use the time that you have this Summer do actually do something? Here’s a list of things to do to make your Summer great!

Summer break does not have to be boring and unproductive. Your Summer is what you make of it. If you choose to sit inside all day watching Netflix and eating Totinos Pizza Rolls, that is fine. If it makes you happy, do it, but if this does not seem like your cup of tea, get out there and try something new. Try something exciting and different. Connect with other friends and family members and make good use of the time that you have. Go out on a spontaneous day trip, by yourself or with your loved ones. Do something weird like playing “Messy Twister.” Experiment, learn, and have fun this Summer.
