It's SummerTime!!!

Lately this March, the sun rises in the early hours of the day and sets very late. The day seems to be longer than ever. It is even getting hotter too! Can you feel it? It’s summer! Summer is on the air! Splashing at the beach could be one of the perfect getaways. Going to Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines or to other cool places could b e fun too! During sunny days, it would be nice and cozy to sit under a shady tree while enjoying an ice cold drink, right?

Different activities can be enjoyed during summer. But, it is also a perfect time to do things that are useful enough and might still be enjoyable. Here are just some of the stuffs we can do for the summer that are useful enough:

1. Save for the rainy days. Summer jobs could be available in these times. Part time jobs like fast food crew, office assistants, and internet and shop attendants could be obtainable by now. In just for months, you’ll be able to save money future use or even to support some of your basic commodities. To earn during summer is not limited on working for companies or for employers. You could also put up a small business like selling ice candies, banana cues, shake, hamburger or almost anything under the sun!

2. Learn new skills and knowledge. Summer lessons like karate, swimming, cooking and others will be fun also. You are not just enjoying, but also imbibing new skills that can somehow help you in the future. Just like the cooking class, you’ll be able to cook for your family with mouth-watering delight. Or learning how to swim could somehow make your vacation at the beach more enjoyable. During emergency times, like when the ship that your are aboard sinks, so, your skills in swimming would be very useful by then.

3. If you are an incoming freshman in college or in high school, summer could be the best time to comply with your requirements in enrollment to a school. Instead of cramming up, why not do it while there is still time. Don’t just wait for the deadlines. Do it before to avoid the rush.

4. Cleanliness and order is always a must in every home. Yet, during school days, we got so busy. We do not have time to arrange our things and even to clean our rooms. Now, this summer, we can now put off that dust and trash. Do the choirs and even redecorate your house. Who would want to stay in a house with crawling insects around, right?

5. Lastly, relax. We may not know it, but stress can lead to something serious. Try to stop and relax once in a while. Though there are a lot of activities during summer, but do not forget to relax and enjoy. Give yourself a break. And try to strengthen your body by eating the proper diet and doing some exercises. So that, when you get back to school, you will have a sound body and lessen those absences caused by sickness.

Boredom during summer can be felt by some. But enjoying activities like summer jobs and lessons could somehow vanish the boredom within us. Instead of just sitting around staying idle, try to do something useful. As what they say, time is precious, so don’t waste it.
