Fun in the Sun

If you’re like me you love summer more than anything, and are overjoyed by the thought of its arrival. If you’re also like me, then you’ll spend most of your summer wasting your time by watching TV or playing on the internet. Before you know it summer is over. I found this this was my problem and it makes the happiness of summer descend. STOP DOING THIS. I’ve decided I’m going to give you a few ideas to keep in mind when you are sitting inside watching a re-run of a show you don’t really like, or looking at the fun other people are having on Facebook.              

1.       Read a damn book. You may think you’re not a reader, but you just haven’t found the right book(s). The Hunger Games—good stuff right there. If you’re a hopeless romantic go with the classic Nicholas Sparks book. I strongly suggest the book The Guardian by him. Phenomenal. Go outside to do your reading. Try going in your backyard, front porch, or at a friend’s house while tanning—anything to get outdoors.

2.       Don’t be a loner. If you’re doing nothing and your friend is doing nothing, well go ahead and do nothing together. That may fuel you to actually do something fun.

3.       Crafts. Hit up Pinterest for some ideas on fun crafts that you can do. I usually look on that website and think “Wow that looks fun and moderately easy to do” but I never actually do it. Be better than me and do it.

4.       Go for a bike ride/rollerblade/walk. Get out and be active. Go find a nice trail or somewhere with some nice scenery and take it all in.

5.       Try new places to eat, preferably with a patio. It’s always fun to discover new little lunch places. You never know what you’ll find…potential goldmines there. If you don’t feel like eating just go for drinks with your friends during the day.

6.       Get up to date on what your city has to offer. For example, in Windsor, our art gallery is free on Wednesdays. We can go there and become more cultured for free, it’s a prefect deal.

Enjoy the beauty weather while it lasts!
