Fun stuff to do in summer

by Renny

Here are some really cool stuff to do this summer. Some of these things have been on your to-do-list forever... and then you forget. Others may be old but fun and others you may not even have thought of.

The whole idea of this list is not to do what I want to do, but to create your own list. Yes, take a large piece of paper and create a whole lot of tick boxes, then start writing your fun ideas of what to do this summer in. Be creative and use different colors, handwriting styles and more. Make it colorful and stick it up somewhere where you will see it a lot.

This will:

A. Remind you to have fun and do different things

B. Help you to keep track of how little/much you do

Whenever you need something to do in a jiffy or with a friend, just check out your list.
