Hey Hey Hey !! This is TIKE reporting with some Summer News. Now, we all
know that summer is amazing... no school, no stress, and lots of fun.
However, around Whyville, I have noticed that people have become extremely
bored. Summer can get to you. Therefore, I have come up with a list of
helpful suggestions you can try. Perhaps they will make your summer more
exciting and enjoyable.
Tip # 1. Read a book. Try to expand your vocabulary for next year. You will
win in the long run from this one. Try to pick a different author each week.
Or set goals for yourself. Let's say... I want to read 2 books in 1 week. Or
maybe 3 books in a month. Enjoy reading, it should be fun.
Tip # 2. Be creative with fashion. Go through your entire wardrobe and pick
out clothes that you haven't worn in some time. Put them together to create
a pretty funky outfit. Furthermore, try wearing a bandana or put buttons on
a favorite tank top or tee. While you are at it, send the clothes that you
do not use anymore to a nearby shelter. They would be greatly appreciated.
=)
Tip # 3. Have a slumber party. Invite some friends over to hang out, rent
movies, and eat popcorn. To make it more exciting, print or create
invitations to give to them. Have a theme for your party, such as "beach
party" where you can decorate a room with beach balls or towels. Or how
about a favorite television show or murder mystery? There are many
opportunities out there, so go wild! =)
Tip # 4. Make something !! Either a craft or something to eat. Bake a cake
or help your parent/guardian make dinner. Learn something new with
cooking... maybe it might help you become a famous chef in the future. =P
Interested in crafts? Check out a website on the Internet.
Tip # 5). Discover a new music artist. While listening to some tunes, or
checking out the local music store, go check for some new artist. Sometimes,
music stores will have a listening booth. This is a great way to check out
the merchandise. Furthermore, some may have a "local" section. This is where
you can check out music buffs from your area. While you are at it, burn or
collect CD's for summer slammin' by a pool or in your room.
Tip # 6. Whyville. If you happen to be bored one day and are on Whyville,
check out some of the sites that you may have not seen. Have you ever
entered the Why House or created a new dance move at the Dance Studio?
Explore, meet new friends, and enjoy yourself.
Tip # 7. Create your own personal journal. Once a day (perhaps before you go
to bed) write down everything that happened to you. The people you were
with, the places you went. This way, when you are older, you can look back
and see what a wonderful time you had.
Tip # 8 Learn something!! Period. Learn a new instrument or language. Or
perhaps, learn about a different culture or country. Learn a new joke,
riddle, or story. Discover how to play the guitar or the drums. Make sure to
keep your brain intact during those hot and humid summer months.
Tip #9. Spend some quality time with family and friends. Maybe there is
someone you haven't talk to or seen in a long time. Send them an e-mail,
write them a letter, or take a picture to give to them. No doubt that it
would be greatly accepted and cherished.
Tip # 10. No excuses. No if's, and's or but's... make sure you set a goal
this summer. Any goal. Don't allow yourself to be bored. This is your time,
enjoy yourself and the weather. If it happens to storm, strip down into your
bathing-suit and enjoy the fresh rain. Remember that this is YOUR time to
have a good time!!!
I hope this helps some. Even think of your own idea that you want to
accomplish either by yourself or with some friends. Remember there are no
bad ideas... so keep enjoying yourself and have a safe and pleasant
summer....
C'ya around... TIKE =D
