If you having summer reading assignments, you can set aside 20 minutes each day to read the book. This way you won’t have to cram it during the last few days of summer. If you are looking for a book but don’t want to spend money, visit your local library. You can check out books, movies and music at no cost.
If writing isn’t your thing, consider creating a photo blog. You can document your journey through pictures.
If you want to polish your cooking skills, you can look into signing up for some cooking classes. Most of them don’t cost too much, and sometimes they are even free if they are offered at a local community center.
If your parents aren’t okay with getting a pet, consider volunteering at a local animal shelter. These organizations are almost always in desperate need for volunteers. You will get to spend time with animals and have some volunteering experience to add to your credentials.
It’s best to start looking to line up an internship before your summer starts, especially if you are hoping to get a better position or a paid internship. There are always opportunities out there though. Just check web classifieds and job posting sites to see the possibilities.
If you have nice stuff that just isn’t your style, you can make a little more cash by selling them through consignment shops or online auction houses.
