2.Plan a stay-cation

Maybe you don’t have the funds to take a luxurious summer vacation but why not substitute a staycation in its place? See the sights your area has to offer by becoming a tourist for the day – it’s probably been ages since you’ve experienced them!

6.Get crafty

Why not take time to make something unique? Get in touch with your artistic side and take on an art project. For example, you could upcycle some old textbooks into cool projects to use as future dorm or apartment décor.

7.Take a road trip

Pile in the car with some good friends and some good music. Take a trip to a local landmark or just see where the road takes you!

8.Sleep under the stars

Connect with nature by camping with friends for a few nights. Sleeping under the stars is an experience everyone should have – plus, who doesn’t love a s’more?

9.Learn a useful skill

Consider learning a new skill to improve yourself personally and professionally and that will be beneficial for your future.

10.Learn another language

Just because school’s out doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Download a free app, like Duolingo and start developing your new dialect skills.

11.Job shadow

Contact professionals with careers that interest you and arrange and conduct a job shadow to help you discover your own career path.

12.Volunteer

Start volunteering for a cause you care about. Giving back will be sure to make you feel great about the way you spent your summer.

Find yourself getting bored during your down time this summer? Conquer boredom with these free-time fillers that happen to be free of charge as well.
