FUN STUFF: HOW TO KICK YOUR SUMMER BLUES

  
 

 Summer’s roughly halfway over and for some of us, it’s starting to get a little repetitive. Maybe you’re tired of lazy days around the house or you’re getting sick of the same old habits you and your friends fall back on to entertain yourself. Whatever it is, all you need is a change of pace to get your summer back on track; here's a list to help you get started! 
Summer Bucket Lists- Google this search term and you’re sure to find lists upon lists of summer bucket lists filled with fun and different ideas on how to spend your summer. You may end up creating one of your own to complete before the summer’s end!
DIY- Maybe “Do it Yourself” is not your thing, it certainly isn’t mine, but if you search hard enough you can definitely find something cool and useful to make where the design is totally up to you! For example, you could make some rad sunglasses to make your beach day outfit perfectly quirky, or you could make some marquee letters to give your bedroom a fresh feel.
Museums- Find out when your local museums offer free admission and take some friends with you to complete a museum scavenger hunt! You can either design it yourself or find one already made on the internet. Whichever you choose, it’s a nice way to immerse yourself in some culture within a refreshingly air conditioned building.
Popsicle Party- Beat the heat by trying out some popsicle recipes! You can usually get some popsicle molds for pretty cheap at Target. Puree some fresh fruit, pop it into the freezer and you should be good to go.
Summer Reading- I don’t want to do it. You don’t want to do it. But it’s better to get it out of the way now rather than three days before school starts.
Call Your Parents- If worst comes to worst and you cannot possibly think of anything entertaining to do, call your parents and ask them for ideas. They’re sure to give you some chores to complete before they come home and the motivation to avoid doing them as much as possible will probably aid you in coming up with something better to do.
Hope this was helpful in making summer even slightly more eventful for you. Stay cool, my friends.
