What time is it? Summertime! (It’s a vacation…)
High School Musical aside, welcome to summertime! It can be tough to stay productive or find things to do, so welcome to the masterpost of all things summer.
Khan Academy has fun math stuff (other subjects too, but the main focus and the best learning tools are with the math). I have a math masterpost here for more tips on learning math.
Check out my language learning masterpost here for ideas on learning languages. Duolingo and memrise also both have great websites and apps for learning languages!
Here is a super fun anatomy game! The website also has a ton of other resources.
Indichocolate’s blog has some amazing smoothie recipes! You can also make a great ice cream with their tea, and the best part? It all has chocolate in it (and no, I don’t just like them because they have the same name as me)!
For awesome popsicles, I have two simple recipes. First one, you just make some coffee (like one pot, I never measure lol) and then combine it with sweetened condensed milk, stir it in, then freeze. For the other one, put some milk and two bananas in the blender, add some nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, then blend, then freeze that (you can add nuts too, I like adding cacao nibs from indichocolate).
Getting a bandana wet or putting ice cubes in it, then applying it to the back of your neck or the inside of your wrist can really help on a hot day
If it gets super hot, dunk a lightweight hoodie in water and wring it out a little, then put it on, and put the hood up! I did this the other day and it was great, cooled me off and I could wring out water occasionally for additional coolness

If you’re going to college/uni, it might be nice to find out some information on your professors!
It also doesn’t hurt to research your college.
Go school supply shopping! The best time to do this is early July. And remember, useful supplies from Target are better than pretty supplies from Muji! You don’t need fancy supplies to be a studyblr or a good student, you just need to have stuff that works and will hold up.
