Your time in college -- during the academic year, that is -- is, of course, filled with stressors like classes, papers, lab reports, and exams. It is also happily filled with the fun stuff, like friends, parties, going out, and a seemingly endless schedule of upcoming events and activities. During the summer, however, the social scene in your life can drastically decrease, especially if you're no longer on campus and spend your days at a job or internship. What's a college student to do?
你的大学生活固然充斥着各种压力山大的课程、论文、实验报告，当然还有考试，但是也不乏乐趣，你有朋友，参加派对，出去玩，每天都排满了大大小小的活动，一个接一个好像没有尽头。然而到了夏天，这热闹忙碌的景象可能一下子就不见了，尤其是如果你不在学校，白天去实习工作。怎么办呢？

26. Take a knife class. Learning how to properly use a knife in the kitchen is both handy and impressive -- and yet very few people do it correctly. Taking a knife class at a local cooking school will be entertaining and super helpful as you learn to cook for yourself more and more.
学用刀。学学如何正确地用刀既不费劲又记得牢——而且很必要，没几个人会正确地用刀。在当地烹饪学校学用刀很有意思，而且在学做菜的过程中也很有用。

27. Get a massage at a massage school. You're a student; you know how important it is to learn by doing. Find a local massage school and help another student learn his or her trade. Added bonus: massage-school massages are usually way cheaper than the regular ones and just as good.
在按摩学校做按摩。作为一个学生你知道实践学习多重要。在当地找一家按摩学校，找个学生帮你按，这也能帮他提高技巧。额外好处：按摩学校的按摩服务比按摩店里便宜多了，而且也不差。

28. Get a funky haircut. You may not even get a haircut while you're away at school. Why not use summer as a time to get a little funky with color or style?
换个时髦的发型。你不用上学的时候可能都不剪头发了。何不趁着暑假去换个潮一点的发型呢，染一染也是可以的。

29. Go to a museum. Go see some art, plants, science, history, or anything else you find interesting. And make sure to use your student ID for a discount.
逛博物馆。去看看艺术、植物、科学、历史或是随便什么你觉得有意思的。记得带上学生证，可以打折。

30. Go through your old stuff and donate what you don't use or need. Do you have things for 2 lives: your college life and your pre-college life? Someone, somewhere will probably be grateful for all of those sweatshirts and t-shirts you're no longer using.
整理你的旧东西，不用就捐掉。看看你大学前用的东西是不是恍如隔世？有些地方的有些人得到了你不穿的运动衫和T恤会很感激的。

31. Try your hand at creative writing. You can try to write poems, a short story, or even music. You never know what you might come up with when you have the time and freedom to really let your mind explore!
写点东西练练手。你可以写诗，编个小故事，甚至创作音乐。有空的时候好好动动脑筋，也许能想出你自己都惊讶的创意。

32. Go to a play. It doesn't have to be Shakespeare but it should be fun. When's the last night you went to the theater -- not for a class -- anyway?
看场戏剧。不一定得是莎士比亚，但得挑个有趣些的。你上次去看戏都是什么时候了？为了课程看的不算。

33. Go to a major sports game. Baseball, basketball, soccer -- it doesn't matter. Grab some friends and head to the stadium.
看一场大型体育赛事。棒球、篮球、足球，什么都行。呼朋唤友去体育场吧。

34. Go to a minor sports game. Things like minor league baseball games can be incredibly fun and much cheaper than the big leagues. See who's around your town and when you can watch 'em play.
看一场小型体育比赛。像是小型俱乐部的棒球比赛也可以很有劲，而且比大型俱乐部的篇便宜多了。看看你们那儿周边有些什么小型俱乐部，什么时候能去看他们比赛。

35. Go to a film festival. Film festivals can be a great way to see new, independent films that you might not otherwise see, and summer is a great time to find a festival that focuses on the kinds of films you like.
去电影节。在电影节上看新片和独立电影是最好的了，而且别的时候不一定看得着，看看暑假里有什么受关注的影片类型是你喜欢的。

36. Go to a concert. Who doesn't like a late-night, all-out, super-fun, big-name concert?
听一场音乐会。谁不喜欢大牌的演唱会，票房火爆，深夜狂欢？

37. Take a bartending class. It's fun, it's handy, it's a great way to meet people with similar interests. What's not to like?
学调酒。可有意思了，还很容易学，能遇到兴趣相投的人，何乐而不为？

38. Act like a tourist in your own town. If you were in your town on vacation, what would you do? You might surprise yourself by finding new things to do and see.
像游客一样逛你的家乡。如果你留在家乡过假期，你会做什么？你可以找些新的乐趣和景致让你自己大吃一惊。

39. Go for a bike ride. People seem to ride bikes less and less. But bike rides can be a fun way to get out and get some exercise.
骑自行车。人们好像越来越少骑自行车了，不过骑自行车是很有意思的出行方式，还能锻炼身体。

40. Grab some kites, friends, burgers, beers, and a picnic table. With that combo, how can you go wrong?
带上几只风筝，叫上一群朋友，还有汉堡啤酒野餐桌。绝配，错不了。

41. Go to a water park. Summer is prime time for water park fun -- as long as you remember the suntan lotion.
去水上乐园。夏天就该去水上乐园——只要你记得带上防晒霜。

42. Make your own fun "water park day." You don't have to have a water park near you to enjoy yourself. Grab some water balloons, a Slip 'n Slide, a kiddie pool (that can be used for lounging or even, when filled with ice, for storing drinks), some friends, and a hose.
自行炮制欢乐“水上乐园日”。要是周边没有水上乐园也一样能玩得很开心。你只需要一些水球，一个滑滑梯，一个儿童游泳池（可以懒洋洋地躺在里面，要是装满冰还可以用来放饮料），一根水管，叫上一群朋友来玩吧。

43. Take a dance class. Feel awkward when you go out clubbing with friends? A dance class can help, even if it's something funky like swing or salsa.
上舞蹈课。和朋友出去混俱乐部总是觉得自己很笨拙？学点舞蹈会好很多，哪怕是古怪的摇摆或莎莎舞也行。

44. Clean up your e-life. Super fun? Probably not. Will you feel better afterward? Most definitely. Dump your old facebook friends, clean up your laptop desktop, and delete old pictures you don't want -- or would hate to get in the wrong hands -- from your camera or phone. A clean e-slate is a great way to start your new year.
清理你的电子生活。很有意思么？恐怕不是。清理完会好一些么？必须的。取关脸谱上不联系的朋友，清理笔记本电脑桌面，删除照相机或手机上不想要的旧照片——或是不想给有些人看到的照片。清理了电子垃圾，下一年会有更好的开端。

45. Host your own Iron Chef competition. Gather several friends and divide them into groups. Then, at a certain time one Saturday morning, e-mail out the secret ingredient. Everyone has to report back to, say, your house at 5:00. People will have fun and you'll have dinner on top of it.
举办自己的料理大赛。聚集几个朋友，给他们分组，在周六上午的某个时间给他们发电子邮件，告诉他们神秘食材，每个人都必须在5点将成品带到你那儿。每个人都得到了乐趣，而你是大赢家，你有了晚饭。

46. Take a photography class. It can be a great way to have fun, meet people, get some skills, and see new parts of your town.
学摄影。会很有意思的，结识朋友，学会技巧，还会在你熟悉的地方看见新的东西。

47. Organize an event at your church, temple, mosque, etc. If you're a little bored this summer, organize something fun with people you have something in common with.
在你们那儿的教堂、寺庙、清真寺举办一场活动。如果你暑假里有点无聊，和与你有共同之处的人们一道组织点儿有意思的活动吧。

48. Go to a music festival. The weather's nice, the music's great, and the people are fun and interesting. Take advantage of summer music festivals while you can.
去音乐节。天气好，音乐也好，人们快活又有趣，趁着还有暑假，享受夏日音乐节的乐趣吧。

49. Go golfing. Never been? Golfing can be a great workout, a fun way to spend the day outside, and an important skill to learn if you're interested in going into the business field.
打高尔夫。没打过？高尔夫是很不错的体育锻炼，在室外这样度过一天很有意思，如果你想经商，学点高尔夫的技巧就很重要了。

50. Head to an amusement park. It's a summer classic and can easily turn into one of the highlights of your summer.
去游乐园。这可是暑假必玩项目，而且很可能成为你暑假里最精彩的部分之一。
