大學暑假做什么：快樂一夏五十招（上）

　　你的大學生活固然充斥著各種壓力山大的課程、論文、實驗報告，當然還有考試，但是也不乏樂趣，你有朋友，參加派對，出去玩，每天都排滿了大大小小的活動，一個接一個好像沒有盡頭。然而到了夏天，這熱鬧忙碌的景象可能一下子就不見了，尤其是如果你不在學校，白天去實習工作。怎么辦呢?

　　1. Read a classic. Always hearing about a classic book one of your friends or family members loves? Been curious about a novel you never read in high school? Summer is the perfect chance to finally sit down and read it.

　　讀一本經(jīng)典。總是聽說一本朋友家人喜歡的經(jīng)典?高中里很好奇卻一直沒有讀的小說?既然放暑假了就不要再錯過了，坐下來讀吧。

　　2. Read a new release book. It can be science fiction, general fiction, trashy romance, murder mystery, historical fiction -- but it doesn't matter. Grab the latest release and let your brain take a break.

　　讀一本新出版的書。無論是科幻小說，一般小說，無用瑣碎的愛情故事，懸疑謀殺，還是歷史小說都可以，讀一本最新出版的書，讓大腦休息一下。

　　3. Buy a magazine you don't usually read. It can be intellectual, like The Economist, or ridiculous and fun, like People. But when's the last time you just let yourself sit, vegout, and read a magazine?

　　買一本你不常看的雜志。可以是很高冷的雜志，像《經(jīng)濟學人》，也可以很無厘頭，像《人物周刊》。上一次你坐下來輕松愜意地看雜志是什么時候了?

　　4. Get an audio book. Fair enough: you may read enough during the year to not want your nose in another book over the summer. Consider buying (or getting from the library) an audio book that you can listen to while working out or driving around.

　　試試有聲書。這很公平：你這一年可能已經(jīng)看了很多書，不想在暑假里繼續(xù)埋在書里了，考慮買(或是從圖書館借)一本有聲書，這樣你出去工作或是開車兜風的時候也能聽聽。

　　5. Volunteer. Think of the last time you volunteered. Didn't you feel great afterward? No matter where you leave, there's undoubtedly places that could use your time, energy, and smarts.

　　做志愿者。想想上次做志愿者，是不是很有成就感?不管去哪里，總是可以用上你的時間，精力和才智的。

　　6. Try a new form of exercise. Been curious about yoga, pilates, spinning, or something else? The summer is a great time to explore something new and see if it's a fit.

　　嘗試一種新的鍛煉方式。對瑜伽、普拉提、動感單車或是別的什么感興趣?趁著暑假嘗試新鮮事物，看看是不是適合你。

　　7. Join a community sports team. Most places have community sports team that play in the summer; they can range from competitive baseball to completely silly kickball leagues. See what's in your area and what you can join for the few months you're free.

　　參加社區(qū)運動隊。很多地方都有在暑假活動的社區(qū)運動隊，無論是厲害的棒球隊還是傻兮兮的踢球聯(lián)盟都能組織起來。看看你那邊有什么能在這空閑的幾個月里一塊兒玩的運動隊吧。

　　8. Take a class at the gym. Summer can be a great time to get in shape. Your local gym probably has classes you can join that will help you exercise your body -- and relax your brain.

　　去健身房上課。夏天可是減肥的好時候。你那邊的健身房可能有適合你鍛煉身體的課程——還能放松大腦呢。

　　9. Join a community group. Treat yourself to something fun that also gets you out into the community, like a running or hiking club.

　　加入一個團體。找點有意思的，能讓你出門和團體打交道的事來做，可以加入跑步或是遠足俱樂部之類的。

　　10. Try a new video game. Seriously, it's summer. What better time is there to grab a new game and play it without worrying about that paper you'd have to write if it were the school year?

　　找個新的電子游戲來玩。真的，放暑假了呢。有什么能比得上拿起一個新游戲來玩還因為沒課所以不用擔心論文?
