1. Intern or get hired.

It's not as bad as it sounds. 

Getting a summer job or internship can help you build your portfolio or add to your experiences, giving you an edge when you finally apply for a job.

If you have an excellent performance, the company can open its doors for you after you graduate or put in a good word for you to others. 

Plus, you need extra cash for the school year or an additional income if you're already working.

2. Start a business.

You can do many productive things over the summer as a student, and earning money is one of them.

You don't have to purchase a franchise or borrow loads of money to start your own business. 

You can start at home. With zero capital. 

How? Use your skills.

Are you a good cook? Sell your sumptuous dishes.

Can make bonsais or succulents? A lot of people have become plant parents in the past year. They'd be more than happy to buy from you.

Do you have an eye for taking awe-inspiring photographs? Get hired.

Are you good at any sports? Teach. If you're a great swimmer, swimming classes are big during summer.

Offer online services by creating a profile on platforms like LinkedIn or a marketplace like Upwork.

Ask friends if they can refer you to a client.

If you live in a touristy place, you can be a tour guide for people visiting your town or city.

With the help of the internet, the possibilities to make your summer fun and productive are endless.

3. Get sporty.

Since summer is the best time to be outdoors, learn a new sport. 

Volleyball, softball, tennis, golf, whatever it is you're interested in, do your research and be prepared.

In softball, for example, buy the proper gear and/or equipment needed. 

Choosing the right softball bat is paramount. Pick one of excellent quality, durable, and helps you perform well.

Many sports stores can offer this, and you can also use it online. 

One website that can give you complete information about softball bats is aroundthebats.com. 

They provide a comprehensive buying guide and look at top brands and the rules and regulations of leading softball associations to help give you the best material you need.

Make sports a part of your productive summer routine, so you stay physically fit and mentally sound.  

4. Volunteer.

What can be more productive and noble than offering your services to those in need without asking for anything in return? 

Here's where and how you can serve:

• Volunteer at a shelter and help animals in distress. 
• Foster a rescued animal.
• Help serve in charities and do community service like clean-up drives.
• Work with the youth by tutoring.
• Help organizations that reach out to the less fortunate.
• Help serve in homeless shelters.
• Donate or volunteer at food banks.

5. Learn something new.

Enroll in summer classes to improve your skills or learn something totally new. Here are some new things you can discover this summer.

• A new language
• New hobbies like cooking, gardening, knitting, painting, bar-tending, and writing.
• Calligraphy
• Astronomy
• Origami
• Photography

You can learn all these by enrolling online or in a nearby school or learning center. Find something that aligns with your passion or something you can use later to monetize.

Not only will you be more productive, but you'll also meet some interesting people along the way.

Looking for an exciting and enriching way to make your summer productive and fun? How about delving into the vibrant culture of Japan by studying Japanese in Sydney? Immerse yourself in the language, discover the art of sushi-making, and embrace the beauty of traditional tea ceremonies. Expand your horizons while enjoying a memorable and educational summer experience.
