10 THINGS TO DO IN SUMMER HOLIDAYS



 

Summer holidays are here and all the people are quite excited about it. This excitement lasts on two weeks into the holidays after which everyone gets tired of just sitting idle and doing nothing. The question ‘What to do in summer holidays?’ is answered here in this article. So I have made a list of 10 things which ladies of all ages can do to make their summer holidays more interesting and fun and also get some good stuff out of that fun at the end of the holidays.

1. Read some good books:
Make a list of all the good books that you have always wanted to read, buy them or get them issued from the library and read them ALL one by one. Make sure you have a variety of books so that you don’t get bored of reading the same type of books.

2. Learn a new language:
This can be done by joining some language classes, or more easily by taking lectures from youtube or simply by buying a dictionary and ‘language for beginners book’ of that language. You can Hola your way into spanish and chao yourself out of Italian, whatever you want!

3. Learn knitting and sewing:
This is not only fun but it also helps you alot in your daily life. I honestly think that a lady should atleast know how to sew something in the desperate hour of need. And there is one more plus point — you can always design your clothes or re-do your old clothes the way you like all by yourself!

4. Try Cooking:
Try cooking something new everyday and experiment in kitchen. This is a great hobby as it not only gives you a good pastimes but also gives you something really delicious to eat in the end. So THIS is the hobby for all the foodies [like myself] out there in the world.

5. Learn the things you want to learn:
Well I remember once wanting to learn how to tie a tie and sew a button [which I succeeded in learning :D ]. Learn the things which you want to learn and feel better about yourself. Learn the things which you thing would make your personality better. To help you out let me give you some ideas..

i) Learn how to do makeup perfectly.
ii) Learn how to start a conversation and carry it on [if you are bad at it].
iii) Learn how to setup the table.
iv) Learn some good words and improve your vocabulary.

6. Friends/family get togethers:
Yes! summer holidays are a great time to meet your friends and family. Invite your long lost friends to your home for tea or have a sleepover with your best friends. It all depends on you. But try to give as much time as you can to your friends and family as they are a beautiful part of everyone’s life. Have fun together and enjoy.

7. Learn about countries/cultures:
One thing I think almost everyone loves is learning about different countries and their cultures. For this all you need to do is google the countries and read about them. Maybe get some information about them from wikipedia! And at the end of the holidays you’ll be acquainted with almost all the countries of the world. This is great for general knowlege too!

8. Write for some good website or start a blog:
This not only provides you a platform to talk about your passions but you also gain alot of experience in writing. This helps you alot in practical life and gives you a sense of achievement. You also get to meet some amazing people in this great virtual world!

9. Help people!:
Yes, you read that right! This is a great way to spend your summer holidays. Help people around you, do a little work for them, go to some old age house and talk to people, take care of someone, tutor some poor children, cook for someone and make someone happy. I don’t mean you spend your whole day doing these things, but an hour a day doesn’t hurt anyone. This will leave you a feeling so good as you have never ever felt before. You will feel alot better and happier.

10. Chores:
I know I know.. doing chores is boring and tiring! But you owe that much to your family, don’t you? So help just a little in your home and show your family member that you care for them. Play your part in the house. You will feel alot better at the end of the day! Trust me.

Happy Holidays!! :)
