After a long day at school, students are often looking for fun activities to finish off their stressful day. Below is a list of suggestions for activities you can do to help unwind from the pressure of school and enjoy your weekdays.
1. Visit Local Restaurants & Shops
Around Sacramento, you can walk or catch the light rail to find many local restaurants and shops. Our school is surrounded by them. It’s common to see students across the street eating at Oscar’s or down the road at Taylor’s. Local businesses also surround our area. One of my favorites is Zanzibar Trading Company. If you’re into collecting crystals, the place is scattered with them.
2. Join A Club Or Make Your Own
Not all clubs have to take place at school. Several communities have created clubs of all kinds that are worth giving a try. There are so many ways to connect with others who share your interests, from video games to reading. And if there isn’t one, create one. Putting yourself out there will help you build your own community.
3. Go Hiking
It’s never too late to go for a hike. There are a number of trails in the area that are short but enjoyable. It’s a great source of exercise and very interactive. Grab a book and some water, and enjoy nature.
Exploring Downtown
Exploring the town is an awesome experience, whether it’s with friends or on your own. There are so many things you can take part in. Special events or cruising the streets are a great pastime. There are so many activities and hang-out spots for people of all ages.
5. Volunteering
Many of you are probably required to complete community service hours, and this is the perfect time to do so. There are several options to choose from, and it doesn’t have to be done alone. Invite a family member or friend to help.
After school, there are so many other things to do rather than staying in your room. Take advantage of some of these tips to have a better weekday.
