But what to do with all that free time? It\u2019s tempting to stay inside all day and scroll, but even without any internships or vacation plans, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the summer months that are productive and personally fulfilling.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Develop a new skill<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty of time to develop a practical skill that could help you in the long run. Cooking and cleaning are good examples, especially if you\u2019re moving into an apartment or dorm equipped with a kitchen. If this doesn\u2019t apply to you, learning how to garden and grow your own produce is a fantastic way to save money and live sustainably!<\/p>\n<h3><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16966 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/read-a-book-300x255.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/read-a-book-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/read-a-book.jpg 526w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Read a book<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>A 2025 study showed that over time, people tend to lose interest in reading for personal pleasure. But there\u2019s extensive research on the benefits of reading, including improving memory, focus, and even mental health. Support your local library, or consult your To Be Read (TBR) shelf for your next gripping read! Chapman\u2019s Leatherby Libraries also allows students to check out books during the summer.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Travel, even just locally<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to have a change in scenery. There are many quick, financially viable ways to do that! Explore your city for local attractions, look into last-minute flight deals, or hop on a train to somewhere new! There are train lines, museums, and other cultural establishments that offer student discounts.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16968 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/train-300x260.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/train-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/train.jpg 523w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Focus on your health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Summer break is perfect for maintaining your physical and mental health. Getting regular exercise and eating healthy has numerous benefits, including stress relief, boosting immunity, and energizing you for the rest of your day. Summer is also a good time to practice mindfulness before academic life resumes. It might inspire you to incorporate new habits into your school schedule!<\/p>\n<h3><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16969 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/hike-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/hike-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/hike.jpg 523w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Go outside<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Being out in nature raises your Vitamin D levels, reduces stress, and enhances cognitive function. Hit the beach or explore a park nearby, maybe even bring your pet for a walk or a couple of friends for a picnic. Take a hike on a new trail. You might even find outdoor volunteer opportunities that will strengthen your resume and help you make new friends!<\/p>\n<h3><b>Take a summer course<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Summer courses help you graduate earlier, devote more time to major-specific programs, try electives, or just free up your week. Even if you aren\u2019t gaining college credit, you could still take a course on something you\u2019re curious about that may not be offered at Chapman. Community colleges and local community centers have several options, both in-person and online.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Plan for next semester<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s never too early to plan ahead. This might include looking into clubs or other opportunities you\u2019re interested in, and how to best prepare for them. Summer break is also a good time to organize your work\/school schedule and review old class notes that might supplement your next course load.<\/p>\n<h3><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16971 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/study-300x252.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/study-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/study.jpg 526w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Gain job experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If you have an internship or job, give it all you\u2019ve got! This is the time to gain valuable experience by making lasting connections, working hard, and exploring an industry you\u2019re interested in. Even if you didn\u2019t land a summer job or internship, there are still ways to stay ahead career-wise, like updating your resume\/LinkedIn profile, or volunteering somewhere you feel passionately!<\/p>\n<h3><b>Indulge in a hobby (or try a new one)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16970 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/art-300x262.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/art-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/art.jpg 523w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Hobbies are a great way to keep your mind engaged, whether on your own or through a class.
