Break the typical summer routine

[Rene Samuel Gonzalez II]

If you're like most people you probably have spent this summer sleeping, hanging out and maybe went out occasionally. Maybe you do things a little different than most but still end up doing more or less the same thing each and every summer vacation.

Are you really making the most of them? The way I see it, every summer vacation should be memorable. Make every summer special by doing things that are different and beyond your typical routine.

Ten or twenty years from now you want to be able to look back and say "man those were the days". So get out there and come up with something fresh, something special to do, or just something different overall.


Now, if you've already tried to think of some new stuff and haven't come up with anything, here are some suggestions:

- If you're athletic plan a day to play your favorite sport or the sport everyone agrees upon. Plan it ahead though; trust me not everyone will be able to make it on a same day phone call.

- For those of you who enjoy cooling down plan a water day at a park or someone's house. Set up a slip and slide, get the hose, turn on the sprinklers, and have the time of your life.

- If you are the relaxing type, you can still have fun, go tanning at the beach with some friends or plan a movie night with all your close buddies. Regardless of what you actually decide to do, make it something you know you will remember for the rest of your life.
