7 things to do this summer.

Do you ever have one of those days when you’re bored and doing absolutely nothing. It’s the summer and the sun is shining in the tranquil sky. You have the urge to get up and do something, but… you keep scrolling through your phone and just like that another hour passes by. Everyone seems to be having the best time of their lives, traveling somewhere fancy and enjoying their summer break. But guess what? You don’t need to travel to the other end of the world to have an aesthetic, Pinterest style summer. So without further delay, here are 7 awesome, simple things you can do to make this summer more enjoyable.

1. See the sunrise (or the sunset if you’re too lazy to wake up that early)

Summer is a great time to watch the sunrise or the sunset as you’re not super busy and end up missing these magical times of the day! Maybe get some pictures for social media as well… but most importantly, just enjoy nature!

2. Craft something!

Make bracelets, maybe try some art, or learn origami! Free from school, and other activities, now is the perfect time for you to try a new hobby. You can use social media to inspire you as well.

3. Decorate your space.

Make a new piece of decor or just give your room a whole new look! This is an activity that you may not have had time for before, but if you feel like your space needs a transformation, this is your sign to do it!

4. Bake! (or cook)

If you don’t usually bake or cook, this is your opportunity to learn the skill, and if you already do, explore a new recipe. It’s fun, and may also benefit you in the future, and most importantly, you get to eat something delicious in the end! Even if your baking endeavor ends up a bit of a disaster, its still a learning experience.

5. Gardening

It’s finally summer and that thick blanket of snow no longer covers your yard, perfect timing to pick up some gardening skills and grow new plants.

6. Reconnect with an old hobby

Another thing to try this summer would be reconnecting with an old hobby that you may have stopped doing in the past. If you can’t think of anything then find a new hobby, anything that you think seems really fun to do.

7. Study…

Now, you may be wondering why studying is in this list of FUN activities to do during the summer and I get it, you may not want to spend all of your free time studying when you just got out of school and want a break from work. Dedicating some of your extra time to studying this summer could be really beneficial to you. Studying some of the concepts you will be learning next year ahead of time can save you a lot of time and effort during the year, so this could be something to consider.
