Summer. Possibly the most looked forward to part of the year. You have probably been counting down the days until summer break since spring break ended and I don’t blame you. Summer is the perfect time to relax, hang out with your friends, and do all the things you never had time for during the school year. So without further ado, here are ten things you should do this summer.
1. Head outdoors! With nice weather and the sun always being out, summer is the perfect time to head outdoors. Try going for a hike, a bike ride, or even just out on a walk. Being outside truly is magic for the soul.
2. Learn a new skill! Is there something that you’ve always wished you could do? Painting, photography, skateboarding, or even baking. With two months of free time, summer is prime time for trying something new.
3. Go swimming! Swimming is the classic summer activity. Whether at a pool or at the beach, swimming is the perfect way to keep cool in the summer heat. And if you don’t know how to swim, now is the perfect time to learn. Swimming is an essential life skill that everyone should know. Knowing swimming can save your life and even allow you to save the lives of others.
4. Hang out with friends! Although you probably see your friends at school all the time, meeting them outside of school is a different experience. You can all meet up at one of your houses, head to a restaurant, or go for a walk around your neighbourhood. And don’t forget to take some photos to remember the fun moments!
5. Go to the beach! A classic summer activity that never fails to make the perfect day. Choose a super hot day and spend it at the beach! With family or with friends, going to the beach is a must-do for the summer.
6. Do some arts and crafts! Make tie dye shirts, cool jewelry, or some origami. Summer is the perfect time to release your creative side.
7. Be a tourist in your own city! Maybe you don’t have the resources to go out and travel the world. That’s okay. Exploring your own city can be just as fun.
8. Try a new food! Summer is all about new experiences and what better way to experience it than to try a new food. Is there something you’ve always wanted to try? Or maybe a recipe you’ve wanted to make for weeks? Now’s your chance!
9. Take some time for self care! Oftentimes with school, we don’t have much time to focus on ourselves. So use this summer to take care of yourself. Sleep in, relax, and do all the stuff you wish you could have done during the school year.
10. Last but not least…Join Integra Youth’s second annual book club!!! Do you love books or wish you could read more books? Integra’s book club is for you!
