With graduation just around the corner, many seniors are wondering how they should spend their last summer before having to go off to college or do other things to start the next chapter of their lives, so I will be listing some things that I think are good ideas for graduating Seniors to make the most of their summer break.
- Beach trip
I’m sure this idea is obvious as everyone does this during their breaks especially when the weather is nice and warm in California and we have access to some of the nicest beaches this country has to offer. It’s a great opportunity to get out of the house with friends or family and spend the day relaxing and having fun on the beach before the stress of college or full-time work starts to set in. So even if it’s a no-brainer, beach trips should be at the top of your list of things to do this summer.
- Travel Abroad
Many people will go their whole lives not traveling to different countries and experiencing new cultures. Traveling out of the country and going somewhere you’ve always wanted to go would be something that anyone would love and enjoy. Sometimes traveling can be pricey, but there are lots of cheap ways to get around and travel minimalistically so that you can still have fun and enjoy the culture that wherever you travel has to offer. So if you’re feeling particularly adventurous this summer, consider traveling somewhere you’ve always wanted to go!
- Picking up new hobbies
Many of us will have a lot of free time over the summer, so why not put it towards something new and productive. This is a great chance to pick up new hobbies and try new things you may like so that you can take those new things into your life as an adult. In a generation where most of our time is poured into our phones looking at mindless media, it will be nice to have a change in scenery and start putting your energy into something productive that you love to do during your free time.
- Trip to Six Flags
Most of us seniors received season passes from the grad night trip we participated in earlier this year, because of this all of us have the option to go whenever we want throughout the year with no cost at all! This is something I’ll definitely be using a lot this summer and a good excuse to get out and have fun.
