any tips?

•

Look up summer bucket lists!

•

Another thing I do sometimes (bit weird I'll admit) is look up cheap date ideas then… just do it yourself. You can find some creative ideas on Pinterest.

•

If you have friends (not everyone does, and it's okay!) arrange to meet with them. You can either do it in advance and arrange to go out to bigger things, or just meet up when the time comes. It's useful to see when they're on holiday too.

•

Print out a calendar template. What I've done is set out three days a week to spend an hour or two looking into my A-Level content (though honestly you wouldn't be in the wrong for not doing anything until they start, you deserve a break), set out one day a week to do something with my friends, and set out one day to do something for yourself and you alone. From there, it's easy to bulk out your summer activities.

•

More ideas: look into getting a job. I should really 😬. Journal — ask yourself the questions you'd normally want to ask someone else. Start off: what really is your favourite colour? Keep going until you know yourself very thoroughly.

•

Spend time figuring out who you want to be. Without the pressure of exams, what are your interests? What do you want? What do you like? Who do you like? Who do you want to be?
