1) Go to the pool! Taking a dip in a refreshing pool is perfect for hot, summer days and swimming is also a great form of exercise.
2) Beach! Who doesn't love laying out all day on the sand tanning? I mean the most rewarding part about going back to school is so everyone can compare their summer tans ;)
3) Decorate your room! I love redecorating my room because it keeps you busy and having a room you love is essential for summer nights or long days of Netflix watching in your bed.
4) Learn something new! Whether that be how to play an instrument, how to surf, learning another language, anything that interests you.
5) Shopping! Since I am literally a shopaholic, this is probably my favorite part about summer and is a lot of fun with friends.
6) Go to the movies! Movies are the perfect way to relax during summer and catch up on your favorite new summer films.
7) Spa day / Get a mani | pedi! You can create your own at-home spa day to reward yourself for all the hard work over the school year or stop by any nail salon and update your mani/pedi. (I have to say that is one of the things I love about being back in CA, the cheap and endless nail salons all over)
8) Workout! Summer is the best time for working out because you don't have to worry about being tired for your activities during the school year. It also allows you to try out new forms of exercise such as going for runs, hikes, cross-fit, swimming, dancing, or bodyweight exercises at home.
9) Go out for meals with friends! I love going out for lunch or dinner with friends because it's a perfect way to catch up and also try new restaurants and cuisines.
10) Try out some new recipes! Summer is a time for experimenting new foods so head on over to Pinterest and get cooking.
11) Organize your room and bathroom! With all the free time on your hands and the summer shopping, you can organize and sort through all your clothes as well as beauty products that you don't use anymore. Check out my post on cleaning HERE
12) Amusent parks! Visiting amusement parks is so much fun in the summertime with friends or family - especially if you love rollercoasters like me.
13) Festivals or concerts! Summer festivals are so much fun and since music is basically what makes up 50% of summer, why not attend a concert near you?
14) Road trip! Road tripping may sound more exciting and adventurous then it turns out happening but just taking a short trip to Santa Barbara, San Diego or even Santa Monica for the day would be really fun and make the most out of your day!
15) Take tons of Instagram-worthy photos! It's summer after all, people don't care if you post three things a day on Instagram so take tons of Tumblr or cute photos at the beach or wherever you decide to go.
16) Do a color run! I did a color run last year in Germany and it was a blast! The run is also pretty easy for those who are not so keen on running and it's such a cool experience.
17) Try out new hairstyles! Experiment with your hair this summer and be creative. Take a risk and try some pretty crazy and abnormal styles and see how others respond to them.
18) Catch up on a good read! Although reading may sound boring, if you find a great book it can be really entertaining and helps to keep you from being bored.
19) Travel! Even if you can't travel very far, visit some new places and cultures or explore your local surroundings.
20) Start a blog! I started my blog last summer and I couldn't be happier that I did. It fills your days and teaches you a new skill - blogging.
I hope you gained some inspiration and ideas for things you can do this summer to prevent any summer boredom! Stay tuned for another post sometime next week xxx
