20 Ways To Have The Best Fucking Summer Ever
With college coming to an end, it's leaving us with much needed ideas for how to spend the next summer months. Summer when you were ten, where you would spend the whole day out on your bike until the street lights came on just doesn't compare to the responsibility and severe lack of tan you have now. Where your only concern was if your trainers still lit up. Maybe I'm wrong but I think we could still have a good summer. There's still time. We're not in the nursing home yet. Here's some ideas on how to have the best fucking summer ever.
1. Get yourself a pool
OK, I'm aware not everyone is swimming in 100 dollar bills. However, everyone knows mayhem happens when you throw a pool into the mix. Even a paddling pool could suffice. Throw in some cold beers, friends and maybe a barbecue if you're feeling spontaneous. Although water and drunk people can also result in tragedy so just make sure no necks get broken in the process.
2. Camping
Even if it's in your back garden, it's something different. Pitch a tent, invite some friends and get a fire going. Chances are you'll end up waking up in someone else's tent but hey, try everything once.
3. Have Sex Outdoors
Spontaneity is a dying art. Don't be afraid to do it up against the wall facing your back garden or on a golf course. There's always the beach too for those who like the feel of sand on their genitals.
4. Road Trip
Every group of friends has at least one friend who bothered their arse to learn to drive. Be the one who takes full advantage of this and takes a road trip. It could be anywhere. As long as you're with the right people and have the necessities, it'll be an experience to cross off the bucket list.
5. Garden Party
Similar to a house party, minus the indoors. With the nights getting longer, garden parties just become more attractive. Maybe a little more classier than a house party because you won't walk into a room where someone is losing their virginity.
6. Make Boozy Ice pops
You can pretty much make or do anything with alcohol. For something to do and a new fun way to get drunk, why not make ice pops with drink? I hear a spicy watermelon margarita ice pop calling my name.
7. Eat Your Meals Outdoors
If you're okay with finding random insects on your lunch then outdoors is always a great place to eat. If the weather is good and the place you're planning to eat in isn't home to a family of spiders, it should be a nice touch to your day during the Summer.
8. Go On An Outdoor Date
Whether it's to the beach or on a picnic in the park, there's something slightly more intimate to an outdoor date to an indoor one. It's simple, it's cheap and you're getting the D. That vitamin D.
9. Sunbathe Topless
If you got the goods, show 'em off. Sometimes the twins need a little sun too so as long as you don't get arrested for indecency, go wild.
10. Learn To Swim
If you missed out on your childhood and your mother didn't love you enough to get you lessons, take this Summer as an opportunity to take the plunge. See what I did there? I hate myself.
11. Make Your Own Cocktails
Pretty much anything to do with alcohol is fun. Inviting friends over to make (and fuck up) cocktails is a sure fire way to have fun while also getting drunk. Fun for everyone involved.
12. Watch The Sun Rise
Up early yes, but a few missing hours of sleep doesn't compare to the beauty of watching the sun come up. Kind of similar to watching a person come up only without the crazy eyes and slanted jaw. As well as watching the sun come up, you're also allowing yourself to have a productive day by being up early. Oh look, birds chirping.
13. Go To A Funfair
When the fear of a rollercoaster magically unscrewing its bolts leaves your mind, a funfair is the perfect way to spend the day. There are rides to suit everyone's taste and no, I don't mean the rides you get on the weekend.
14. Take On An Internship
Sounds boring but internships are a great way to gain experience and attaining skills and what's a better time to hold down one than during the Summer? A lot of companies look for people to take on during the Summer months and offer these places to college students. You'll go back to college as a new and wiser person. Don't talk to me peasants.
15. Go To The City
If you're a country bumpkin, this especially applies to you. Step out of your (grassy) comfort zone and travel, even if it is within the same country. Cities have so much to offer such as architecture, sights to see and more than one shopping centre.
16. Have A Summer Fling
Summer is a great excuse to engage in casual sex. It's the season of freedom and a time to relax, not a time to enter into a new relationship. However, we all have our needs and sometimes we want our head rubbed during a hangover while also getting the ride more than once every six months. Finding yourself someone who you can use like this to your advantage will ensure a sex filled summer.
17. Go To At Least One Festival
And make it a camping one. Festivals are the best part of Summer. What's better than an outdoor gig where you can bring your own booze and it's socially acceptable to try drugs?
18. Go Skinny Dipping
There's something weirdly arousing about doing something you're not allowed. The fear of getting caught is the best part about it and something about the feel of water on your bare body feels right.
19. Make New Friends
Whether it's in the bathroom of a nightclub or while you're waiting at the bus stop, let yourself make new friends. Summer is a long season can when all of your friends are busy with work, you'll need all the friends you can get to do this list of things with
20. Fuck Up At Least Once
No one looks back at a time in their life and thinks ''that went really well''. We're human, it's in our blood to make mistakes but they become something to laugh about some day. Use Summer as your time to mess up fantastically and blame it on your lack of routine.
