We've all been in that embarrassing situation where there's nothing to do with a friend. Don't go there again!  Even if you're an introvert, provide a List of Fun to your BFF and let her pick (or if she says, "whatever." then you pick!) which one to do. I have done this multiple times. Once, It ended up being pretty random, but a few years ago we made a music video/movie about our fun Valentine's Day.

Boardgames Play outside Play an instrument Take a walk Watch a favorite movie (then get up and act it out!)  Make friendship bracelets (an old but good way to keep a friendship throughout summer!)...

Read or write a paper. Give your eye...

It's summer Y'ALL!!! Look back at your year...how have you changed? What new friendships did you make? How much have you achieved? Whatever it might've been like, now is the time to put on your extravert self and jump in the pool!   1: Step Back. Take some time away from stressful things: electronics, confusing books, cold showers, early mornings, late nights, etc. Maybe for you its missing a scroll through Social Media to take a nature walk, or swimming with a friend instead of snap-chatting her. Give it some thought! God wants us to be refreshed ...so don't feel guilty if you sleep past 8, or eat breakfast in your pajamas😆 2: Organize.  Summer is the time to get done what you want to during the school year. -Organize your drawers. -Vacuum your room. -Clear the porch leaves for your mom. -Dust your room. -Clean your shower. -Get rid of that item that keeps bothering you!
