What to do This Summer!

By Shaia Culligan

     The months of summer are approaching. The heat, relaxation, and vacations. The question is, what are people going to do without school? 

     The summer heat can be unbearable when it’s in the 90s, so sometimes you’ll probably want to stay inside. But to do what? You can do arts and crafts activities, invite your best friends over, and have a great time. You can make tie-dye shirts, make a poster board with all the fun things you want to do this summer, or make a memory box and decorate it however you want!

     If you’re not super into arts and crafts, you can have more of a chill day where you can binge watch movies, try to learn a new skill like cooking, or play video games.

     If you’re outside during the summer and enjoying the sun, there’s definitely more things to do. You can either go to the pool downtown (James Lemos) or go to the Southampton swimming pool. You can go fishing by the pier downtown, or maybe even 9th street. If you’re not one for swimming or standing around waiting for a fish, go for a walk around your neighborhood, go play volleyball at ninth street park, or go explore somewhere new!  

     If you’re feeling up for it, with your friends or family, go for a road trip and explore California. You can go look at the really old redwood trees, head over to Yosemite Park, or drive up the coast of California, and look at the beautiful views! 

     Driving up to San Francisco would also be so fun, exploring Alcatraz, going to Pier 39, visiting Golden Gate Bridge, or maybe even go watch a Giants game at Oracle Park!

     There are so many fun things to do around the Bay Area, and there are many fun things to do even if you decide to stay inside! Go out, explore new places, try or learn new hobbies, and make the most out of your summer!
