4 Things to do to End Your Summer Boredom

For those of us who are in college or have their peak seasons during the rest of the year summer boredom can drive us mad. Our brains and bodies have grown so used to the stress and creativity required for our busy times that during the summer we feel weird not doing something that feels productive. That is why I am dedicating this post to my top four things to prevent summer boredom.

1.  Learn Another Skill: Whether it be learning to cook Spanish cuisine through the Food Network or tackling a free online coding class, learning a new skill can be very rewarding. You’ll become even more talented than you already are and end up creating possible gifts or meals along the way.
   
2. Learn Another Language: I know, I know, learning another language  is technically learning another skill, but this is more than just learning a new skill, it’s giving you an excuse to finally learn Italian, so when you ask for directions in the Tuscany countryside you don’t end up in Rome. 
   
3. Get Crafty: Maybe you've always wanted to learn to knit or how to make your own jewelry, and the free time that you have during the summer is a great excuse to start these projects. You can go to classes around the city or use craft videos to help you learn where to start.
   
4. Read Your Heart Out: So maybe you were too busy during the rest of the year to read that best seller that grabbed your eye, the extra daylight hours give you the chance to get a jump start on your reading list. Summer also gives you the chance to read all of those classics you said you read in high school, so you will no longer have to fake your way through discussions about Jane Austen.

Which of these things will you do this summer? Is there something that you think should be added to this list? Post any comments or questions you'd like to share in the comments section or on Facebook.
