大学暑假做什么:快乐一夏五十招(上)

若木分享

  你的大学生活固然充斥着各种压力山大的课程、论文、实验报告,当然还有考试,但是也不乏乐趣,你有朋友,参加派对,出去玩,每天都排满了大大小小的活动,一个接一个好像没有尽头。然而到了夏天,这热闹忙碌的景象可能一下子就不见了,尤其是如果你不在学校,白天去实习工作。怎么办呢?

  1. Read a classic. Always hearing about a classic book one of your friends or family members loves? Been curious about a novel you never read in high school? Summer is the perfect chance to finally sit down and read it.

  读一本经典。总是听说一本朋友家人喜欢的经典?高中里很好奇却一直没有读的小说?既然放暑假了就不要再错过了,坐下来读吧。

  2. Read a new release book. It can be science fiction, general fiction, trashy romance, murder mystery, historical fiction -- but it doesn't matter. Grab the latest release and let your brain take a break.

  读一本新出版的书。无论是科幻小说,一般小说,无用琐碎的爱情故事,悬疑谋杀,还是历史小说都可以,读一本最新出版的书,让大脑休息一下。

  3. Buy a magazine you don't usually read. It can be intellectual, like The Economist, or ridiculous and fun, like People. But when's the last time you just let yourself sit, vegout, and read a magazine?

  买一本你不常看的杂志。可以是很高冷的杂志,像《经济学人》,也可以很无厘头,像《人物周刊》。上一次你坐下来轻松惬意地看杂志是什么时候了?

  4. Get an audio book. Fair enough: you may read enough during the year to not want your nose in another book over the summer. Consider buying (or getting from the library) an audio book that you can listen to while working out or driving around.

  试试有声书。这很公平:你这一年可能已经看了很多书,不想在暑假里继续埋在书里了,考虑买(或是从图书馆借)一本有声书,这样你出去工作或是开车兜风的时候也能听听。

  5. Volunteer. Think of the last time you volunteered. Didn't you feel great afterward? No matter where you leave, there's undoubtedly places that could use your time, energy, and smarts.

  做志愿者。想想上次做志愿者,是不是很有成就感?不管去哪里,总是可以用上你的时间,精力和才智的。

  6. Try a new form of exercise. Been curious about yoga, pilates, spinning, or something else? The summer is a great time to explore something new and see if it's a fit.

  尝试一种新的锻炼方式。对瑜伽、普拉提、动感单车或是别的什么感兴趣?趁着暑假尝试新鲜事物,看看是不是适合你。

  7. Join a community sports team. Most places have community sports team that play in the summer; they can range from competitive baseball to completely silly kickball leagues. See what's in your area and what you can join for the few months you're free.

  参加社区运动队。很多地方都有在暑假活动的社区运动队,无论是厉害的棒球队还是傻兮兮的踢球联盟都能组织起来。看看你那边有什么能在这空闲的几个月里一块儿玩的运动队吧。

  8. Take a class at the gym. Summer can be a great time to get in shape. Your local gym probably has classes you can join that will help you exercise your body -- and relax your brain.

  去健身房上课。夏天可是减肥的好时候。你那边的健身房可能有适合你锻炼身体的课程——还能放松大脑呢。

  9. Join a community group. Treat yourself to something fun that also gets you out into the community, like a running or hiking club.

  加入一个团体。找点有意思的,能让你出门和团体打交道的事来做,可以加入跑步或是远足俱乐部之类的。

  10. Try a new video game. Seriously, it's summer. What better time is there to grab a new game and play it without worrying about that paper you'd have to write if it were the school year?

  找个新的电子游戏来玩。真的,放暑假了呢。有什么能比得上拿起一个新游戏来玩还因为没课所以不用担心论文?
