30 Things To Do This Summer

Ah, summer. A joyous time of mosquitoes, humidity you could cut with a knife, and sitting at home bored out of your mind. Inspired by one of my favorite blogs, A Loser's Guide To Life, here's a list of things to get you out of bed on those days when you can't think of anything to do.

1. Try a new recipe

2. Check out a book from the library on something you've never done before

3. Search for vintage goodies at a flea market or thrift store

4. Re-arrange the furniture in your room

5. Check out a new band (might I suggest recently re-formed 90s alt band, Failure)

6. Watch a silly kids movie on netflix

7. Bike somewhere new

8. Get lost in your own city! (bring your phone so you can figure out how to get home)

9. Find out where a local venue in your town is and go to a show (who knows,you might find your new favorite band!)

10. Invite a friend over and do make-overs

11. After you're all dolled up, go to a karaoke place and sing your heart out!

13. Binge watch the series Pretty Wild, then rent the DVD The Bling Ring

14. Make a collage (stay tuned for a tutorial on how I do mine soon!)

15. Dye your hair a cool color with kool-aid or manic panic

16. Make a dream catcher

17. Make a god's eye

18. Get your camera or phone and go on a photography adventure

19. Make a record bowl

20. Find a photobooth and take a bunch of strips!

21. Go to the mall and build-a-bear

22. Re-read your favorite Nancy Drew story

23. Learn to skateboard 

24. Wear black lipstick with a normal, everyday outfit

25. Play in the sprinkler

26. Learn a new card game

27. Lay in the grass and look for cloud shapes

28. (if you live close enough) Take a day trip to the beach

29. Or a lake!

30. Learn about the history of your town (try wikipedia, or the library!)

If you have any more ideas, put them in the comments! And I'd love to know if you do any of these!
