In the end, our team lost the game 5-0.

Buy a ticket before it's too late! 5: Pull an all-nighter: now that we don't have to wake up at 7 a.m. every day, why not challenge yourself and stay up all night and have fun? 6: Have a "food tour": take a day and go around with your friends to find the best food in town!

7: Beach day: a must-do for the summer. I mean, we live in Florida. 8: Go thrifting: I went thrifting with my friends for the first time earlier this year and I had a blast! Going thrifting is great if you are looking for some new clothes on a budget. 9: Have a photoshoot: time to spice up your Instagram with new pics! 10: Tie-Dye day: although this can get a little messy, it is a new fun activity to try with your friends and family. You can even get your younger siblings to participate too. 11: Movie night: you can never go wrong with these. Grab a bowl of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the movie. 12: Have a painting/picnic day: I'm not the most artistic person, but I'll definitely be there for the food.

13: Go scuba diving: even though I have never done this before, it's not a bad idea to get scuba certified over the summer. 14: Learn a new skill: whether it be knitting or learning a new language, summer is the perfect time to learn something new. 15: Escape room/Haunted mansions: I went to an escape room with a few of my friends last summer and had a blast! It's definitely on my bucket list again for this summer. You won't regret it! Regardless of your plans over the summer, I think all of us deserved this long-awaited break. Now, go make this summer a blast and the best it can be! There is only ONE "summer 2022," so make it worth it!
