How long have many of us been waiting for summer. And finally it has come, and with it the time has come to fulfill all your most cherished plans and dreams.

So that your summer will be remembered for a long time, website compiled a list of ideas to help you get the most out of this wonderful time of the year.

• Pour water on Ivan Kupala and, if you're lucky, jump over the fire.
• Arrange a summer photo session. Then it will be nice to review the pictures on long winter evenings.
• Do not go online at least two days a week. In the summer, it is worth blocking a couple of your social networks: there is no more dangerous mistake than surfing the Internet even for 3 hours a day. We need to communicate, we need to have fun!
• Arrange a badminton, tennis, jump rope, or whatever tournament with your friends!
• Exploring a neighboring city, even if it is small, you can find many places and discover something new for yourself.
• Learn to ride a bike. If it is not possible to buy, then rent a couple of times.
• On a particularly hot day, arrange a “shootout” with water pistols (or bottles with a hole in the cap).
• Go to an open-air concert. In the summer there is a crowd of enthusiasts who are happy to play songs with a guitar and give concerts on the occasion of this or that event.
• Eat a kilo of ice cream. There is no place for comments here, because even frost does not stop the true fans of this delicacy. You can even try.
• Film your summer adventures and edit a mini-movie (learn how to use a video editing program at the same time).
• Gather a bouquet of wild flowers. Give it to your mother, girlfriend, girlfriend, put it in the room, after all.
• Learn to swim. Try to jump into the water from a small height.
• Get a tan. This is a required part of the program. No opportunity to go to the sea? Then there are various reservoirs, or you can go to the solarium, and an uneven striped tan due to shorts and T-shirts is bad manners.
• Have breakfast on the balcony or rooftop. A fragrant and cool morning breeze, a cup of coffee or tea - and you are ready for new achievements.
• Go on a hike. Despite the fact that for city dwellers the word "hike", unfortunately, causes rather conflicting emotions, in the summer it is simply necessary to take friends, grab tents and a guitar and spend the night by a fire in the forest.
• Visit an open-air cinema. An unforgettable experience of watching movies under the stars is guaranteed.
• Participate in a flash mob. Such events definitely bring you closer, and you will get a huge dose of positive emotions.
• Gather raspberries/strawberries in the forest. You should not always buy berries from grandmothers standing near the metro, or in the markets, because you can go into the forest and try to find this yummy yourself there.
• Eat cotton candy. This delicious tradition also does not go out of fashion. This pleasure is inexpensive, but there will be plenty of emotions.
• Change image. Change your hairstyle, dye your hair a different color, and why not?
• Swim naked in a pool or lake. "Freedom and looseness, looseness and freedom" - repeat this mantra more often.
• Fall in love. Everyone is simply obliged to find love this summer, because without it, summer is not summer.
• Get rid of unnecessary things and people. If there is unnecessary trash in cabinets and life, get rid of it.
• Overeat cherries, cherries, watermelon, melon. So that later in the cold winter you do not regret the missed opportunity.
• Read in the park. Choose a warm, clear day, a secluded bench a good distance from playgrounds, rides and music speakers. Enjoy.
• Ride the rides. Yes, it's scary. Yes, it creaks. Yes, the tenth coat of paint does not make them more beautiful. But you can scream, get adrenaline, and look at the city from a height. If you don't have time now, you'll have to wait until next summer.
• Walk barefoot on the grass. Remember the last time you did this? So we don’t remember, although the sensations are indescribable. It is best to do this somewhere outside the city.
• Hitchhike. Ride with the breeze, vying with each other to tell the driver their crazy stories.
• Start exercising outdoors. Many people have a subscription to a fitness club, but still, it’s worth freezing it for the summer, and in the morning go jogging in a park or forest along with summer music hits in your player.
• Look at the stars and make a wish that this summer never ends!

To Do- sheet for everyone who is in love with summer. I would like not to miss anything, to remember everything, to experience as many emotions as possible, so that there is something to remember with the onset of the first cold weather.
