Summer holidays are a long period of time when you can basically do what you want. It is a time to be filled with fun and enjoyment, maybe because the sun is out, or maybe just because school is not something you need to think about.
We should all try and embrace our holidays as much as possible because sooner than we think we will be stressing about physics homework and waking up at 6 am. The best way to do this is probably by spending as little time indoors as possible, especially if you are tempted to spend hours going through your feed on Instagram.
Spending time on social media does not only mean that you have less time to have fun and make your own amazing memories, but it can also lead to making you think that you are having a rubbish holiday.
When we see the holidays of all our friends through the eyes of social media, we often come to the conclusions that since that person is smiling in that picture and in an incredible place, that they must be having an incredible time. But this is not always the case. In photos it may look like people are having the time of their lives, but we have no way of knowing whether, behind all the filters and beautiful views, they are unhappy or having a bad holiday due to a thousand mosquito bites.
So instead of looking at other peoples holidays, try hard to have the best summer ever, full of laughs and amazing memories that can make you happy while in the sun.
see you soon
