Although the holidays are for relaxing, I always make a to-do list for things that I want to accomplish during the break. I love making lists anyway but making them in the holidays is the best because you actually have time to get things done.
I always aim high for my lists because I'll be trying to get more things done. Here are some things I do to pass my time AT HOME so you aren't bored out of your brains.
Binge watch tv shows- Adults say that we must get bored watching things all day but in my experience we actually don't. So why not binge watch some tv shows.
Have a movie marathon- Whether it be something like HSM or going extreme like Harry Potter, this is so fun to just chill out.
Try to learn a new instrument or learn new songs on it- I never seem to practise my guitar but these holidays I'm making an effort to learn songs.
Write a story- I love doing this to get my creative juices flowing.
Write a song or poem- This is such a great thing to do. I wrote one poem and then I just couldn't stop writing more poems.
Start writing a diary- This is a good thing to do because this way you can look back at it later and reminisce about past events.
Make a scrapbook- This is a good time passer and is really fun.
Make a family tree- I've been doing this for a while now since my Indian family is massive but it's a great way to learn about your family history.
Read lots and lots of books- Why the hell not?
Workout- Watch a workout video on youtube and commit to it everyday.
Do some yoga-This is a great way to relax.
Pamper yourself- Give yourself a bath, face mask and hair mask or even give yourself a makeover.
Bake some healthy snacks- This is good because you can snack on this food during the break
Learn a new language- There are so many websites that you can learn languages on now so there is no excuse.
Learn how to sew- If you don't already know how too. It's a great skill to learn.
Reorganise your stationery- I do this all of the time, especially when it's summer. This is so fun and I end reorganising the whole house's stationery!
Reorganise your room- Reorganise furniture or even just give your room a new vibe.
Declutter as much as you can- Whether it be your wardrobe or stationery or anything you can find, this is so satisfying seeing things being let go.
Do jobs for your parents- While this may not be a teenagers ideal holidays, doing some jobs around the house for your parents is a good way to pass your time and also be achieving something. This is good for them because you have time whereas they do not so now they have one less thing to worry about.
Grow something green- When I say this I mean grow something in the garden that you can start off when you have lots of time in the holidays.
Catch up with old friends- Go and see friends that you haven't for a while to keep your connection.
This is my rough things to achieve in the Summer holidays 2017.
I really hope this gave you some ideas so you can use your time to relax as well as achieve things ♡
