In a few days, the 2023-2024 school year will wrap up, and the anticipated summer vacation will begin. Everyone awaits getting a long break to relax and unwind, however, many are struck with the question—what am I going to do this summer? If you struggle to come up with an answer, below are five ideas that will allow you to enjoy your summer even more.
On July 4, 2024, also known as the Fourth of July, the United States will celebrate its independence. As one of the most significant events in the nation's history, this day is recognized all over the country. It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the day with close friends and family while watching fireworks or making s’mores. Not only will the US honor its own Independence Day, but multiple other countries will mark their own independence, celebrating their nation on other days throughout the summer. This includes Bastille Day, Canada Day, Festa della Repubblica, National Liberation Day of Korea, and many more. Be on the lookout for these events!
Another way to feel like you are having a successful and enjoyable summer is sticking to a consistent workout routine. Whether it is running, cycling, swimming, or even yoga, you can establish your own plan that will allow you to be healthy throughout summer vacation. If you struggle to be consistent, try connecting with other people. For instance, you can go to the gym with a friend every few days, or participate in a local 5K run. Think about the positive impact such exercise will have on you when you reach the end of the summer.
Have you ever wished you knew how to cook well? This summer, you can master this ability by using online resources, books, and even taking lessons from those around you who have cooking expertise. By learning how to cook, you will be able to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills, and you will discover new flavors throughout the process. Soon enough, you’ll even be able to cook food for next year’s International Potluck.
Another idea is geocaching, which is a great way to explore new places and travel outdoors. If you have never heard of geocaching, it is the largest scavenger hunt around the globe. In fact, geocaching is prevalent in more than 190 countries, and there are more than three million active geocaches. Here is how it works: people hide containers, called geocaches, in specific places, and the goal is to find them. People who set up the geocaches provide you with challenging online instructions and hints to find the geocaches. Once you find a geocache, you can log your name and date in the logbook in the container.
And a final great way that you can enjoy your summer this year is by going to a concert. Seeing a music artist perform live can be a fascinating experience, and not only will you have a lot of fun, but you’ll be able to create many lasting memories. In Massachusetts, singer Justin Timberlake and the infamous bands Journey and Def Leppard will tour this summer. Throughout the US, many other concerts will take place, and one of the biggest music festivals across the nation, Lollapalooza, will occur in Chicago. This event will bring together countless popular artists such as Dominic Fike, Hozier, Future, Metro Boomin, SZA, Tate McRae, and many more.
