1. Summer homework if you have any. I’ve had homework every single summer since 1st grade (around 7 years old) but I know that a lot of schools don’t do this. This is actually my first summer in 11 years without any homework since I am graduating from high school this weekend!

2. Teach yourself something new / take a class online. Personally, I’ll be using Memrise to teach myself Astronomy, French, some miscellaneous history, Political Science, and ASL. If you’re looking to learn a language, I highly recommend Duolingo as well, and there are a huge number of other websites where you can take classes.

3. Get school supplies for next year. Pretty self-explanatory :)

4. Read more! Pick up one of those books that you’ve been meaning to read, or go to the library and choose a book that looks interesting. If you like writing, you could also write a paper about it.

5. Get some work experience or volunteer. Although not really study related, it can improve your ability to work during the school year.

6. Organize your room, desk, backpack, closet, etc.

7. Pick up or pursue a hobby. Maybe you haven’t had time to practice guitar or painting since you’ve been so busy with school, but now is your time to actually do it! If you can’t think of any hobbies or skills to try, there are a bunch of ideas online.

8. Set up a bullet journal if you haven’t already. If you don’t know what that is or haven’t tried one yet, there’s tons of inspiration right here in the studyblr community!

9. Start the 30 day studyblr challenge, the 100 days of productivity challenge, or another similar challenge. Yes, even during the summer!

10. And lastly, just RELAX. We all push ourselves so hard during the school year, we all need to learn how to relax and keep ourselves from burning out.

I sat thinking how terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as incredible as living. One day we suddenly take the fact that we exist for granted - and then, yes, then we don’t think about it anymore until we are about to leave the world again.

I don’t feel like it, but I’m going to do it anyway.
