Now I know that its holidays and you probably only want to have some fun and just laze around in your bed and relax because same. But in India we have a month long summer vacation and I cannot see myself just sleeping in bed all day because it sounds boring and sad to some extent. So I have come up with 10 really crazy , fun and productive things you all can do in your vacayyyy! 

Ps : THIS IS FOR THE ONES WHO ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE ON A TRIP OR WHATEVER AND ARE STUCK AT HOME. I FEEL YA AND I'LL HELP YOU TO ENJOY YOUR VACATIONS TO THE FULLEST YET NOT WASTE IT COMPLETELY ;)

1. Reach out to people and make friends : 

  I know it is difficult for us (especially teens like me ) to make friends but who knows, you might end up making a lot of good friends and this summer might become one of the most memorable summers for you !! Reach out to people on internet especially Instagram and Snapchat where teens are the most active , gather up the courage and text them! Take the risk , I'm sure it'll be worth it! Reconnect with old friends. Make plans to hang out with them. Have fun ;))

2. Read books : 

    To be honest , I love books but only fictional and preferably of the romance genre! I read books all the damn time but if you don't , this is great time to start! I guarantee you, if you give books and reading a chance and choose the right genre for yourself  , you'll fall in love with them and probably get addicted to them but its a good addiction so its all good. 

Here are a few books I recommend ya'll to read this summer :  

• The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han. ( Genre : Contemporary Romance. Also, its web series is releasing on 17th June of 2022!!! I'm super excited for it. So its best if you read the books before it releases!)
• Bellinger Sisters series by Tessa Bailey. ( Genre : Contemporary Romance )
• Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. ( Genre : Contemporary Romance)
• One of Us Is Lying series by Karen M. McManus. ( Genre : Mystery , Suspense and Thriller)
• A Good Girl's Guide To Murder series by Holly Jackson. ( Genre : Mystery , Suspense and Thriller) 

3. Get Creative and Pick up a new hobby :

  We have got so much time now so why not try new things and develop skills and hobbies you really love. It can be anything like cooking , dancing , drawing , painting and a lot more.

4. Make a vision board : 

  Now now , making a vision board can be fun and productive. Get creative with it. Use all types of decorative materials to make it. Write down all the things you want to do , things you need to do and the things you have to do and find ways of how you can achieve your goals and work towards them. Manifest your dreams and goals. Utilize this time to work hard for them. I'm sure this step will help you get a little more clear idea of your goals and will motivate you to work towards them.

5. Spend time with yourself :

    YES. I WANT YOU ALL TO SPEND TIME WITH YOURSELF. Why? Because it is important but difficult at the same time. We feel that being alone will make make us look like a loner or a bore. But trust me , we need to learn to enjoy our own company. It is holidays and we will spend a lot of time with our family and friends and that is important too but it is equally important to spend time with yourself , explore ourselves and be at peace with ourselves. It is actually very therapeutic and can be very fun.

6. Workout : 

      See, I know I'm a hypocrite as I'm advicing ya'll to workout where as I myself don't. But I swear I'm going to start swimming. And you all can also exercise a little. It is important to be healthy and do some physical activity. So you can either go to a gym but if you don't want to do that, there are many other options like join a dance workshop , cycling , swimming etc. It'll be fun!

7. Clean your space : 

   I love cleaning.....sometimes. But you can put some great music on and clean your room or house and maybe change its vibe a little. Clean your wardrobe because I know its a huge mess. Get some inspiration from Pinterest and go shop, change your fashion/style and aesthetic. Change is good. You can experiment a lot with your room and wardrobe and I think it'll be a lot of fun!

8. Volunteer : 

   Go volunteer and take different opportunities. Don't worry , you don't need to do something you have no interest in but if you like dancing , art or teaching , you can go to an orphanage / NGO and teach young children that. Little kids are too fun and amusing , I'm sure you'll enjoy spending time with them. You can volunteer for a job or help organize a flea or a workshop. You'll get some experience and also learn a lot. And all of this will also look great in your college application. So its a win-win!

9. Try out new restaurants and cafes :

   I love food, actually I'm a huge foodie. I love to try out new restaurants, cafes, cuisines, everything related to food and then recommend other people about it. Its soooo fun!! So go and check out different food places in your city , try various cuisines and dishes that you haven't tried yet. 

10. Do something crazy : 

       Do it. Do what you wanted to do for so long but couldn't do it for whatever reasons. Do something that is out of your comfort zone. Wanna start a blog ? Do it. Wanna start a youtube channel ? Do it. Whatever it is you wanna do , DO IT. I support you 100000000%. And once you do it , I'm sure you'll be very happy and proud of yourself!
