     Are you ever bored and don’t know what to do with your summer days? The EHS Squire has asked student Lexi Pascuzzi, “What is your favorite place to visit during the summer?” She responded, “My favorite place to visit during the summer would have to be either Barcelona Beach or Darian Lake Amusement Park”. 

    Many people like to go to beaches or an amusement park on a hot summer day. If you are looking for a cheaper and closer-to-home activity to do this summer, here are a few ideas. You could go out shopping with your friends, lay in your yard and tan while sipping a cold lemonade or you could simply go for a nice long walk. Lexi said, “I prefer to go on walks on trails and look at the pretty trees and nature, sometimes with the sun seeping through the trees.” A nice walk can energize your day and is good for your physical and mental health. 

     As the weather continues to change, finding something to do can be difficult. Pascuzzi says, “When it rains, I like to make snacks and a nice warm drink while binge watching Netflix shows”. There are so many activities that you can do this summer, wither you prefer to go out or simply stay indoors. 

    On a summer day, a cooling and refreshing ice cream run could never hurt. Many like to lie on beaches and soak up as much sun as they can before the cooler weather comes. Lexi says, “I would prefer going somewhere rather than staying home”. If you would rather go for a hike, Pennsylvania has great national parks that you can visit and walk on and see the amazing sites that you can explore. It just depends on the kind of person you are and if you like the heat or prefer to stay inside with the air conditioning. 

    A lot of people like to garden and plant beautiful plants that they can admire once they bloom. So, when it comes to not knowing what to do for a summer activity this summer, think about what you like to do and explore your options with friends and family this summer.
