Summer’s coming and so are Arlington High school students. Going to the mall, playing mermaids and having fun with friends in the sun. But when you have nothing to do, summer can be really boring.
Students have shared what they participate or have done in the summer to give people ideas of what to do when you are bored out of your mind.
“The first thing that comes to mind is swimming, pool noodles and floaties at a public pool…swimming is my favorite thing. I feel like a mermaid,” said Tegan Morice (‘29).
On hot days, it is so nice to jump in a cool pool with friends. Specifically this summer it seems it will be hotter than others due to the weather Arlington has had back in April. Hanging out at the beach or the pool is the best way to feel good on a hot summer day.
“[I like to go] boating, fishing, swimming, and wakeboarding,” said Chance Langley (’29).
People also like to go to Slidewaters and Birch Bay Waterslides. People who are fortunate enough to travel go to some really cool places in the summer. Some common places to travel during the summer are Hawaii, Arizona, and places closer to home like Chelan and Goodwin.
“Normally, I go on, like, vacations with my family. Like, we go to Chelan a lot. We go to Ocean Shores and just go to the beach a lot,” said Morice.
Long road trips can be hard, waiting to get to that fun place and sitting for hours but in the end, it is worth it.
“[At the lake] We bring jet skis in the Wenatchee area. [We also go to] Leavenworth and Lincoln Rock, it’s a camping spot,” said Kinsley Schmidt (’29).
Sports have already started up for next year. Many people have practice or open gyms during the summer including sports like cheer, football, and volleyball.
“I have cheer all summer, so probably going to practice and hanging out with the other girls on the team,” said Morice.
Hanging out with people all summer can really bring people together making the sports season go better.
Summer can be so fun if you have things to do. Whether it is going in the water, playing your favorite sport, or making up fun games. Summer is the time to have fun without having to worry about school, friend drama, or homework so enjoy it.
“We like to go to the mall and pick out an outfit for the other person,” said Morice.
