Try NOT to Waste your SUMMER!

By: Audreyanna Garrett, Feature Writer & Published Author

 

I am aware that the summers can get very boring!  You get all hyped up about taking a break from school and you waste it away doing nothing; not being as productive as you could.  Anticipating its conclusion and then the bright ideas form about what you could have experienced or done to maximize your summer.

I have constructed a list of 20 things that you can indulge in for the summer, have fun and stimulate your brain all at the same time! 

Drive is the hot new quality of teens!  I see so many young individuals maximizing their time by developing new things…For instance why just listen to a song, record or band when you can create one! 

1. Write a song

2. Start your own band

3. Get a summer job

Find something easy and fun for you to endure go the entire summer; i.e. work at an amusement park or water park, favorite fast food chain; or better yet find a job in a potential career field.   Explore internship opportunities at your dream job of choice.  It’s never to late to plan for the future.  Start now, open a savings account and save money.

4. Visit another country

5. Go backpacking

These may not be plausible for all our Teen Chic Mag Readers but for those who can, expand your vocabulary and world experience.   It is never too late to explore world culture first hand. 

6. Become a photographer

There is nothing more powerful than capturing life through film.  The more you explore life the more you will want to remember it.  What better way to capture the prime years of your life than through a lens?

7. Go camping

8. Take a boat ride

9. Go canoeing

Explore the outdoors; appreciate the serenity that lies there.

10. Become a mentor

INSPIRE.  You never know how many children you can inspire and redirect if you do not influence them; become a mentor.  You can make mentoring fun; go to the zoo, museum, read he/she a story, build a tree-house, teach a new sport, inspire entrepreurialism by building a lemonade stand, etc.

11. Learn a new language

12. Work on brain teasers

13. Learn how to sew

14. Work on the car…explore auto-motives

15. Learn to play chess

16. READ

17. Create a website

18. Make a movie

Mental stimulation.  Expose yourself to unknown tasks.  I guarantee you your test scores will be higher and you will comprehend swifter.  Impress your teacher and increase you class rank; it makes for better collegiate acceptance.

19. Research your family tree

Get familiar with your family history; your findings could be extremely interesting.

20. Create a scrapbook of everything you did this summer…

 What a way to remember all that you did or did not do for the next summer.

So, Teen Chic Mag readers, I encourage you all to BE CHIC and OWN your future.  MAXIMIZE THIS SUMMER’S POSSIBILITIES.

HAPPY SUMMER TEEN CHIC MAG!!
