Go ahead and be old school: Start a pickup game of wiffleball or baseball, (The Sandlot style) with your friends from around the neighborhood. It's way cooler than swinging at a virtual ball with the Wii remote in your
basement.-Jackie Kramer '10
Grab a friend, find a deserted playground, and have a heart-to-heart under the jungle gym.
-Katie Caliva '10
Break those town beach rules, invite all your friends, and burn those Civ notes in a late night beach bonfire. If the cops ask, just tell them 'No we didn't light it, but we're tryin' to fight it.'-Mary Pelletier '09
Lay in the grass-or on a trampoline, that's fun too-and watch the stars, but don't forget the bug spray!-Patrick Allen '10
P.S.: Barbeques!
Play in the water! Go swimming and tubing; learn to waterski or wakeboard, and, at least once, watch the sun sink into the deep-blue horizon from the deck of a friend's boat.-Mary Kate Nevin '09
Frolick often.-Megan Gorzkowski '08
Go to as many concerts as possible, from bars to sold-out arenas and everywhere in between. To top it off, stop at a Denny's or an IHOP, get pancakes or stuffed french toast, and drive home listening to the artist you just saw.-John Vaghi '10
Save gas, ride a bike instead.-Matt Longobardi '10
Lather yourself in SPF 50 (the invisible t-shirt), stay hydrated, reapply, and 'then hop out of the kiddy pool and take a dip in the danger zone.'
-Shannon Obey '08
Hot-air ballooning is not a sport; and don't go into Boo Radley's backyard-C.W. Tompkins '09
Skinny or chubby: Run after that ice cream truck.
-Annmarie Granstrand '09
