As the semester is coming to an end, we have officially started the summer season and there may be the possibility of being bored. So I’ve decided to come up with some fun and new things that you can do this summer. Think of it like your summer bucket list! All of these activities can be done with friends, family, or even by yourself.

SPA NIGHT:

The first thing you can do is host a girl’s spa night with all of your friends. You can host the party with different themes and decorate it. Light some candles, bring out the face mask, and just enjoy relaxing with your girls.

VISIT NEW PLACES IN YOUR CITY:

During the summer, it is the perfect opportunity to visit and explore new places right in your city. There’s so many place you might not have heard of. A few places you can go to in Miami are Design District, Bill Bags State Park, or any new restaurants that you haven’t tried yet.

DRESS UP AND GO TO BRUNCH:

Since it’s the summer time, use the opportunity to go to brunch with some of your friends. Make the day special and fun by dressing up and trying something new on the menu. If you need some brunch inspiration, check out this other post about brunch in Miami.

MAKE A LIST OF MOVIES TO WATCH THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER:

One of the best things to do this summer is catching up on your favorite movies and tv shows. Make a list of some movies you may want to watch and use it throughout the summer. This is the perfect opportunity to binge watch some new movies and shows each week. Amazon Prime and Hulu have great deals for students, so check them out!

GO TO A CONCERT:

As of recently, concerts have slowly begun to happen and it’s the perfect time to go see your favorite musicians. Find out if any of your favorite artists are going on tour and make a plan to see them. There’s even local concerts that you can check out.

PLAN A ROADTRIP / VACATION

Many students and their families, use the summer as a way to relax and wind down. One of the best ways of doing that is by going on a vacation. Make plans to go on a road trip or vacation somewhere using Pinterest as your inspiration. It could even be a weekend getaway.

HAVE A THRIFTING / SHOPPING DAY:

The last thing to add to your summer bucket list is to have a shopping day. Now you can do this by going to your regular mall or finding new stores to shop at. Another suggestion is to thrift around your local consignment and thrift stores. Go out and treat yourself!

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration on what to do this summer. Also make sure to use this time to your advantage and use it for some rest and fun. Happy Summer!
