Summer can`t be more fun…
By: Josee Natasha Crodua
Summer is in full swing and everybody has their plans to have fun. The perfect vacation for most teenagers would consist of sleeping-in, watching movies, hanging out with friends and doing nothing. Relaxing would be the main event of their vacation. Nothing else could seem more fun but the most enjoyable times were when they least expect it.
Family time can and will be longer during summer vacation. Especially with the summer trips and the barbecues, families get the time to really talk without a lot on their minds. Teenagers can’t escape to their rooms saying: “I have to finish my homework.” Everybody will be glad of the bonding although long talks are not always that enthusiastic. Extreme biking and river rafting can be crazy ideas that will bring families closer one way or another. Then again, calm and soothing activities such as a trip to the museum or watching a movie will do just as fine. It might not be adrenaline pumping action but it’s definitely always a family adventure.
A summer job would rarely please any teen who just finished a rough year in school. However, it doesn’t always have to be relaxing during the summer after all the pros outnumber the cons in this case. Getting a part-time job could earn a good amount of cash just for you. There is one detail disregarded probably because it is only a little factor. Work is also a place to meet people. It is will be less fun when you are always cursing about life. A little smile will help along with the people around. Who knows, you might end up enjoying your work time.
An activity often over looked by teens is the summer camp. It is always thought to be a place for kids and often cheesy annoying songs. Maybe it is really a place with cheesy songs however you learn to love it with the right mentality. “Keep an open mind”, as they always say. It helps to choose a camp that suits you. The start is always rough but as the weeks go on, you loose all self-consciousness and just have fun. The shyness has been long forgotten. Before you know it, you’re camp days are coming to an end. And you actually miss all the great friends you’ve made and the countless fun hours you’ve spent with them. This is proof that the less appealing activities can become unforgettable adventure of a lifetime!
Whether you’re on a long trip or stuck in a summer job anything can be fun with the right attitude. So keep a happy face and have fun wherever you are!
