Getting the Best Out of Your Summer

As I am writing this I am sat out side during the hottest summer of my lifetime here in England. But, this summer is not only amazing because of the great weather but because it is the summer between school and university. An incredibly long one (4 months!!), full of opportunities .

It is so easy for the summer to fly by and at the end you fell like you have don’t hardly anything with your time.

Heres are some ideas for an unforgettable summer

• Organise day trips with your friends, be it to the beach, a theme park, the pool or just to a city you’ve never been before. If you have the ability make a road trip or holiday/vacation out of it.
• Do some volunteer work, over here in the UK we have something called National citizen service which is for 16/17 year old that allows them to meet new friends whilst volunteering in the community. It doesn’t have to be something externally organised perhaps just something yourself and a few friends organise a fundraiser or even take part in a sponsored run.
• Get a job. It may seem weird that this could be something fun to do in summer. But getting a job allows you to meet so many new people, make new friends and gets you out of the house into a routine a few times a week. Plus the extra cash wouldn’t go a miss.
• Stay busy. It is so easy when you live in rural areas to not see your friends for weeks, so try to plan to meet up at least once a week, be it to catch up over coffee, or have a bake day at someones house.
