hey, guys! summer vacation just started for me, and i’m super excited about it! there are so many things that you could do during summer vacation, so i figured that making a list of some ideas that i had would be fitting for the first official day of freedom hehe :-))))
after school is out:
- get that sleep that you missed out on!!
- treat yourself
- take a nice bath, listen to your favorite songs, eat something nice… whatever it is, just relax and enjoy your day
- clean and organize things from the previous school year
- it’s good to throw out old handouts that you don’t need anymore. i like to file away important papers / notes that i think that i might need again in binders and folders. after that, you could neatly put it all away in a box or on a shelf or wherever you wish!
- not saying that you can’t do this, but some of my friends made a bonfire from all of their old assignments and then roasted marshmallows :’)
- here’s my post on organizing systems for school that might help you out
learning
- here’s my post on studying over break
- review old material from the past school year
- preview new material for the classes that you’re taking for the following school year
- learn how to do something new
- edx, coursera, and khan academy are great places to start for online courses
- codecademy is also good if you want to learn how to code
- ask someone to teach you a new skill like sewing or crafting
- learn how to cook (basic start)
- not really cooking, but if you just want something easy and quick to eat, here’s my post on study snacks
- try playing a new instrument or singing something new
- start a bullet journal
- here’s my 2015 bullet journal post + 2016 bullet journal setup
- learn a new language
- here’s my language tag
outdoors
- remember to put sunscreen on! protect urself :’)
- go to an amusement park with your friends or family
- go star-gazing on a clear night
- go camping
- you could even camp in your own backyard! call up a bunch of friends, set up a tent + campfire, and have fun!
- go for a walk where you haven’t gone before
- go ice skating to escape the summer heat
- plan a picnic with your friends
- go rollerskating / rollerblading
- play with water
- go swimming, visit the beach, have a water-balloon fight, have a water-gun battle, run through the sprinklers
- grow a garden
- try out a new sport
- volunteer
- go to a museum
- go hiking
- play in the rain (if it ever does)
- ride a bike
- go berry picking
- have a barbecue
- go running
indoors
- write
- start that book you always said that you would write
- write some poetry or prose
- try writing a short story
- read a new book
- try reading in a new place! sometimes, the places where you read can give you a whole different feel :)
- top 100 books that everyone should read
- book masterpost by @areistotle
- go to the library
- usually, libraries have fun summer events that you can participate in
- clean your room and freshen it up a little bit
- take advantage of the summer weather and open up your window!
- make a playlist for yourself or someone that you know or even a fanmix!
- 8tracks is a really good place to start
- play some old-fashioned card or board games
- learn how to make friendship bracelets (link 1, link 2)
- make a scrapbook or journal
- try out a new hobby like photography or writing
- have a sleepover with your friends
- write a letter to someone and send it (yes yes go snail mail!!)
- contact someone that you haven’t been in touch with for a while
- make a collage
- play some video games
- have a private dance party in your room with your favorite music on
- see a movie or episode that you’ve been meaning to watch
- catch up on something that you couldn’t watch during school
hope this helped and good luck! if you’d like to request a post, go here and if you’d like to see more helpful posts, go here!! thanks :)
