Summer Plans

With the school year coming to an end, kids are starting to get excited for summer; however, when summer comes, kids do not do much other than sit around in their house all day. Summer break is full of opportunities for kids to do things other than sit around at home. Kids can do things like get a summer job to get more money, enjoy activities with friends, or find new hobbies.

Getting a summer job is something every kid could gain from. A summer job has various benefits that could help you in the future. These benefits include learning skills such as responsibility, accountability, and money management. With the money you earn from having a summer job, you could have more opportunities to spend money on things like going out to eat with friends. Furthermore, having a summer job would look good on a resume when applying for a post-school job. Having a summer job is beneficial overall; it gives kids something to do and allows them to meet other people.

Another possible way to spend your summer is just enjoying time with your friends. Summer can get boring in the long days with nothing to do. Spending time with friends can be a quick fix to this problem. Friends can bring out the best in people and will always bring something to do. Spending time with friends can be extremely beneficial to physical and mental health. Mayo Clinic proves this by saying, “Friends also play a significant role in promoting your overall health. Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems, including depression, high blood pressure and an unhealthy body mass index (BMI).”

Lastly, this summer you could take the extra time to find something new you may enjoy or a new hobby. New things you could try include getting involved in watching a sport. Baseball will be a popular sport during the summertime, and baseball is an interesting sport to become involved in. Another possible hobby to become involved in is video games. Video games offer a nearly unlimited variety of possibilities. There is a game for everyone, and it can be an excellent way to occupy yourself during the summer.

In conclusion, summer is full of possibilities, and it holds something for everyone. While it may seem that all you have is time with nothing to do, there is always something that can be done. Summer can be used to better your life and better your future. And there will be no better summer to start something new or continue something old than this summer.
