Besides wasting time playing video games and checking facebook, here are some productive ways to stay busy over summer break.


  • Read a Book - They say the difference between yourself now versus a year from now is 3 books you will read over the course of that year.

  • Organize - Organize old work from throughout the school year, so you can easily come back to it.

  • Recreation - Join a summer league of your favorite sport: softball, volleyball, basketball, etc.

  • Learn New Things - Just because you are on summer break doesn't mean you have to stop learning.

  • Get Up - Become an early riser. Get the things you need done in the mornings so you can enjoy your evenings.

  • Get Out - Get some sun, it's good for you, and hey...it's summer break!

  • Have a Family Reunion - Family time is always quality time...well almost always (Never mind that annoying brother or sister).
