Top Five Pre-College Summer Activites

June 14, 2016 by lpahomov Leave a Comment

You are about to be off for college, you graduated high school, prom was a blast, and you are ready for the next steps in your life. College comes with more freedom, but also more responsibility, more tasks, and more school work. Yes, school continues, just in a much more comfortable, real life setting. However, like every other summer in your past life, you need a break, and before you go off into the world on your own, enjoy yourself to the fullest. These summer activities will help you do so

 

  1. Go to a summer concert

Concert can be the most unreal, unforgettable moments of your lives. You can go to concerts at all ages, however, going to a concert the summer before college is even more spectacular. For you do not need a parent’s approval, you do not need a ride, most likely, and it is just you, or you and your friends, making a complete fool out of yourselves just like everyone around you and celebrating your completion of high school. Pre-college activities should get you in the college spirit as well as be a great celebratory event for finishing high school. Going to a concert is a great way to accomplish both with almost no limitations on how much fun you can have.

 

  1. Go on a road trip with friends

A road trip can easily be the funnest thing anyone has ever done in their lives. However, summers before senior year, or junior year, you are stuck with over-the-summer packets and assignments to do to get in the way. Going into college, you are free, the summer is yours, whatever comes in the Fall, comes, but for now the summer is yours, take advantage. Drive, take a plane, take a train, take a boat, just have an adventure. There is only one rule, make sure you have the time of your life, otherwise, you are only limiting yourself.

 

  1. Have a day out in the city

Now, maybe you cannot afford to go at extravagant road trips or pay for tickets to a crazy concert. No problem. It is perfectly fine to settle for a great day out in the city. In most cities, there is plenty to do. Some of which you do not even know about yet, giving you the perfect chance to explore your city and find things to do and places to be you never knew existed. Make sure to go with friends! It will make the trip one hundred percent more enjoyable

 

  1. Plan a trip to the beach

You have no choice, the beach is a must go almost every summer, and going into college, a beach day with friends and/or family might be the memory of the summer. With the waters, the boardwalk, the people, the sand, the great weather, a beach trip can create endless memories. Explore a little to, go deep into the waters, run around, enjoy yourself, make great pre-college memories. Going to the beach is a great way to celebrate the arrival of college

 

  1. A day with your family

Lastly, spending a day with your family can be an extremely beneficial time for you and your family. Go on picnic, see have a cookout, rent out a party room, go out to eat, just have some quality family time. For, depending on where you are going to college, you could be far away and now only see them a few times a school year. Spending time with family before college can be the most beneficial thing you do all summer. For you will miss them, so make the most out of the time you have with them now.
