This week starts the month of August, the month that excites parents and college students and brings tears to children all over. Summer is coming to an end, and if you're anything like me, you've done a whole lot of nothing this summer. I've binge watched every Netflix series for days at a time, worked my life away and slept the rest of the time I had left. So, with a little time left in the summer days, here are some fun things you can do before you head back to school.
1. Ride some roller coasters at Kings Island or Cedar Point.
Ride the new ride Banshee at Kings Island or spend the day at Soak City riding their new water slide.
2. Take the weekend off and go on a road trip.
Take the weekend off and hit the road with some friends. Try fun-filled destinations like soaking up some sun at the beach or shopping in Gatlinburg.
3. Go camping/hiking/ or ca(brew)noeing.
Cabrewing is a college kids summer dream. You can't get much better than canoeing with friends and drinking a few beers at the same time.
4. Go to the beach without having to drive or fly there.
The Beach Waterpark has the sand, water and waves without the long drive.
5. It's fair season, so eat all the fried foods and cotton candy you can at the county or state fair.
It's always fun to people watch at the fair, but the food is even better.
6. See a concert with friends.
Summer concerts are always a blast. There are plenty of awesome concerts at Riverbend. Grab a ticket and friends and enjoy your favorite band.
Don't spend your last few weeks of summer vacation on the couch or at work; get up and give yourself a break. You only have summer for so long, so make sure it's one to remember. Grab some friends and make the best of it!
