Take a Hike: Put on some sensible sneaks, grab a water bottle and walk someplace you’ve never been. It could be to the nearby bookstore for a bagel or on a nature hike through the woods. Walking is the perfect opportunity to reflect, sight-see, and even practice your photography skills (it feels awesome when you get that perfect shot!). And as an extra bonus, it’ll get you in shape in time for fall semester!

Blog it: Take it from me, starting your own blog is a great way of filling time and expressing your voice. It can be a fashion blog like mine, one about your favorite books, or just a blog about your daily events and interests. Popular bloggers of such sites as Style Rookie, BryanBoy and Sea of Shoes have even made fashion headlines and money in the process. So join the current blogging craze and start typing away.

Playing Dress-Up: Bored of your wardrobe? Need a style re-vamp? Well this summer is your chance to experiment with the latest trends. Look through your grandmother’s closet and scan your local thrift stores for new looks that suit you. You may even find yourself taking more fashion risks and wearing items you were too nervous to try before.

Flashback: Re-read your favorite books, watch reruns of your childhood shows, and look through old magazines. You will discover details you’ve missed and laugh over past fashion trends you once thought were cute. Feeling creative? Get out your scissors and make a cool collage using old magazine clippings. Re-doing is an entertaining and resourceful way of seeing how things were back then and how they are now.

MapQuest: Take a couple day trips to new places like local museums, nearby flea markets, and music festivals. The best part? This doesn’t require much planning, cash or driving. You’ll be surprised to find that there are a lot of cool places near you.
