SUPER SUMMER

Now aren’t you excited? Summer is the best time to do a lot of things. If you haven’t made any plans yet, here’s a list of things to keep you busy and entertained for the next few weeks.

With the scorching heat, the best time to go swimming is now. Whether it’s at a sandy beach or a swimming pool, the cool water will be a welcome diversion. If you don’t know how, enrol in swimming classes so you can finally check one thing off your bucket list.

Catch a blockbuster.

If you don’t already know, summer is when all the coolest movies come out. Most movie studios compete for a summer opening. All you have to do is pick.

Learn a skill.

You might think that being on vacation means learning has to stop. There’s no need to be in school mode, but learning something new can be fun. You might want to hone your cooking skills or enhance your drawing skills with a few classes.

It’s also the best time to explore.

Is there some place you’ve been dying to see but have had no time because of school? Now’s a good time to plan an excursion around the province. If your family can afford it, it’s also the best time to explor another province or country.

Have a picnic.

You don’t have to have an occasion to gather friends and family. Have a picnic in the backyard or under the shade of a tree. If things get too hot, you can always move the party inside.

Volunteer.

There are many organizations that could use help. Find one that is easy for you to do. Or if you have a neighbor who needs help with a summer project, that, too, is just as rewarding.

There are so many things you can do with all that time in your hands. Just remember that the fun starts with your attitude.
