After a long winter season high school students can’t wait to get out of school and enjoy their summer vacation. Teens anticipate the day they leave school with such a great passion. The only problem is that as soon as they get out they do nothing to actually take advantage of the great sunny days, all they do is sit around and play video games. Well really its your only option if you don’t have much money. Well I have a couple of ideas for some cheap ways to enjoy your vacation without having to be stuck to an Xbox or playstation all summer long.
1-Go to the beach:
If you live somewhere near the ocean, get some friends, ask your parents for permission to take the car and head out to the beach. Bring along a volley ball, a net, some sunscreen and an ice box with some drinks. Not only will you have a great time but they will get some exercise out of it. Plus you will have a nice natural tan at the end of the day, and best of all it costs nothing besides a couple of gallons of gas.
2-Bowling anyone?
Put down that wii controller, grab a couple of friends and hit the bowling alley. Its a lot more fun than you think it is. On the weekends some bowling alleys, such as freeway lanes in solon Ohio, have nightclub-esque lighting and loud music to have a club feeling so not only would you be bowling but when its not your turn you can jam out to your favorite tunes. A game only costs about so its not too much money.
3-mini golf:
No im not talking about the computer game mini putt, im talking about the real thing. You know where you have an actual golf club and a mini golf course. Those are a lot of fun, some of the holes can be quite challenging but it turns out to be a lot of fun when you and your friends are clowning around and having fun. Plus a round of golf shouldn’t cost more than per person.
4-basketball:
Most outdoor parks have a basketball court, NBA 2k9 is fun but the real thing is more entertaining. Go out and get your hoops on. Take a boom box and load it up with your favorite cd’s while you ball it up with your buddies. Plus a little exercise could help keep you in shape and it costs nothing.
5-rent a movie:
Renting a movie is ridiculously cheap now a days, and it’s a nice way to relax on those days you just don’t feel like doing much. You could even get it for free if you get it from the library. There are some great older movies that you might have not seen in a while, go get them from your local library or block buster. Make yourself some microwave popcorn and your set for the night. Free or just a couple of bucks depending on where you get it.
