Bored? Here are 5 Productive and Fun (yes, FUN) Things To Do This Summer

School's over, and summer's here! Tests and stress have finally disappeared from our heads. However, one problem remains: how will I spend the next three months? Here are five ideas to help you:

1.Learn an instrument - Whether playing the ukulele or clarinet, learning a musical instrument is not just a waste of time. John Dani, Ph.D. and chair of neuroscience at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, says that "music engages every part of the nervous system." Yes, music in

2. Create on Social Media - With the rise of AI and generative tools, creators and social media entrepreneurs now have many resources on their plates. Also, don't worry: there are many free resources out there. If you're looking for an AI tool to begin, try ChatGPT or Poe.

3. Be a Movie Critic - I don't mean being a Karen or screaming at people on the phone. Movie critiquing is more than that. It involves understanding a movie, analyzing themes and elements, and giving constructive feedback. If you want extra fun, try hunting for "easter eggs."

4. Learn a New Language - Language learning sounds boring, I know, but it doesn't have to. Many free games and resources (ex: Duolingo) can help make the process more enjoyable. Besides, multilingualism has benefits. Studies have shown that bilingual people are more creative.

5. HAVE FUN - Don't forget the best part of the summer: fun! Please don't forget to do things you love, hang out with friends, explore your passions, and enjoy the summer. 

Happy summer! I hope you have a wonderful next three months.
