Summer isn’t just for rooftop spritzes and pretending to read at the beach — it’s also the perfect time to become the kind of girl who casually picks up a new creative hobby!

Create A Cooking Show 🍽️

Since you’ve gotta eat anyway, share your favorite recipes online with your own cooking show! All it takes is a dish you like, a phone, a YouTube channel, and a CapCut account (paired with some movie magic) to up your fun in the kitchen!

Design A Magazine 💋

Pick a topic, any topic. With a Canva account and a printer, you can make basic (or extravagant) magazines for you and your loved ones to look back on! Now it’s time to put on the editorial hat!

A DIY Comic Series 🖌️

All you really need for this is a piece of paper, a pen, and a story! Watch a video online about how to structure your page, start sketching and inking, and before you know it, you’ll have a comic. I advise you to start off simple with comic strips before diving into a series. Let your storytelling skills unfold and make something gnarly😎

DIY Board Game 🎲

Get some friends, write down your best inside jokes, and be the reason why you guys cherish your memories through a witty and heartfelt board game! All you need is cardboard, paper, markers, scissors, and a good time!

Start An Acappella Group 🎤

If you can’t play instruments, I’ve got just the band for you! Gather some friends and sing covers of your favorite songs in an acappella group! You don’t even need to know music theory, just a good ear and a will to learn. But don’t fret, there are tons of videos online on how to get started; take it from someone who sings and beatboxes for a group in college without even knowing musical scales👌

Have Your Own Photoshoots! 📸

You too can have all the glitter and serve face like you’re in Euphoria without a professional photographer. All you need is a light source, fun outfits, and a phone camera. Invite some friends over, play some music, and host your very own editorial shoots! Plus, you never know if this will grow into a true passion for photography!
