School is in session for 181 days, so how can one make the most of this summer? Whether it is by doing something all alone or spending time with others, there are many things that can fill a summer schedule.
Going to the Beach
Going to the beach is a great and inexpensive way to spend a summer day. Not only can you do this alone or with others, but there are also many things to do there. This can include tanning, swimming, paddle boarding, and playing games like volleyball or spikeball.
Sophomore Krystyna Schuld states, “I love going to the beach on nice days with my friends because I like tanning with them.”

Going to the Gym
After a tough school year with hard work, working out can be a great way to relax. Working out can improve not only your physical health but also your mental health. Working out can release endorphins in your brain, which can help relieve stress, improve your mood, and relieve pain.
Sophomore Cameron Ishmael states, “It is a really good destresser.”
Concerts
Going with others to see some of your favorite artists is a great way to spend this summer and make amazing memories. Prices for tickets can vary depending on the artist, but going to a concert is an amazing way to fill your summer schedule.
“I love going to concerts because I love being with my friends while seeing my favorite concerts,” says sophomore Abby Monahan.
Going on Vacation
“I don’t have to worry about anything, and I just get to chill and fish,” states sophomore Jaxon Staples.
Going on a trip, whether close or far, is a great way to relax from a hard school year. You can go with friends or family as a great way to bond, fill time, and make great memories. Vacations also provide nice weather that you can enjoy while out doing what you love most.
Amusement Park/Carnival
“I like going to carnivals because I like meeting new people and making new friends,” states sophomore Scarlet Kuba.
Amusement parks and carnivals are a great way to get out of the house on a nice summer night and have fun. Going on rides and getting carnival food is a fun way to get out and make new memories with people.
