Hugh: The Internet’s Favourite Mid-Week Activities to Make the Most of Summer

It’s Wednesday afternoon, what are your plans for the rest of the day? If you’re like many of us and want to make the most of summer, you may want to get out and enjoy days like this before they’re gone. The internet recently voted to determine the best mid-week summer activities to give you a boost and have some fun. Leading the pack is ditching your screens and looking elsewhere. Whether it be a TV, computer screen, phone, or tablet, there are plenty of screens we stare at all day long, so take a break – go outside and take in nature, check out some art, do some reading, or have a conversation with someone in front of you. The second most popular option is eating summer comfort foods that remind you of your childhood. There are probably some foods you deeply associate with summer, so break out the hot dogs, corn on the cob, and watermelon for an August treat. Coming in third is spoiling your pet. Whether that means going for a walk, cooking up a healthy treat, or playing with a new toy, you won’t regret it and neither will they. Number 4 is perfect for the warmer days out there – find some water. Whether it be a pool, pond, or river, there’s plenty of fun to be had by jumping in. Other popular answers included going to a nearby museum or gallery, learning something new like a game or skill, and visiting a park that is normally too busy on the weekends.
