This could be a hobby that you’ve abandoned because you were too busy with assignments to keep up with it, or it could be a completely new hobby. Find something fun to do over the summer period. If you're too busy working a summer job to take up something new, you might think about setting up or joining a society in the next academic year.
Go on walks

Walking is a great way to relax your mind, but also to stay active. Explore your home town or city and find a place you love, or an old favourite hangout spot. If you have a dog, why not take them on a walk with you? Take your friends and family to talk as you walk, and spend some time outside together.
