How to Do Summer Break On a Budget
By Kaylynn Clark
You see a bunch of college kids on TV on a beach in Cabo or Hawaii,
and wish you had that type of money to spend. Truth is, you are not alone. Many
students in college do not have the opportunity to buy pricey plane tickets,
book a hotel room, and party their tension headaches from Final Exams off. Truth is, there are many things to do on a local level during Summer Break that are definitely a lot more budget
friendly. I have compiled a list of ideas that you can during your break
without breaking your bank!
- Go target shooting. Turns out, Kern County as a
wonderful array of firearms dealers that also have shooting ranges on their
premises. This is a definitely a great activity for thrill-seekers and
competitive friends alike. Go to lunch
after and discuss who hit the target the most and it will make for a great
time. - Explore Kern County. There are many places in
Kern County that go unexplored by even the most familiar people to the area.
Try going to the Kern County Museum for a minimal price, or go to that one
Basque restaurant you have never tried. - Take time to unwind with a movie night at home. Summer
doesn’t always have to be about doing something or going out, especially in the heat. Many
overwhelmed college kids feel the most refreshed after being able to just spend
the day at home before Fall semester starts. Invite a few friends over and ask them each to bring a movie and a snack to share. Your wallet will thank you. - Go out for Ice Cream. It’s hot outside, but your wallet won’t feel the heat. Ice cream is an affordable option that still makes you feel like you’re indulging!
