what do you do during summer break?

[Rudkobing]

I haven't been on a summer break for centuries.

You can make a thread asking if people are in highschool or not. Let's see who is right.

Making thread about it would be pointless. That's the problem with poorly performed "analysis" of anything - it doesn't show any useful data. All you would get from such thread is some data from people that read the thread and are willing to respond. It may well be that that particular group belong to one age group while being representative of the majority. To get any useful data that can paint somewhat accurate picture you need big sample from random people from whole section, not just these that lurk in one particular forum. Point is if you don't have creditable data, which you don't, don't go talking about "majorities" because you're talking out of your ass.

52 here.
And I can only laugh at the idea of taking any time off during the summer.

Hey!!! Me too ! - well, the 52 part!

Both son and daughter are home for the summer. SO and I are both self-employed now, so we're taking a couple of weeks in August to go camping with the kids and girlfriend/boyfriends (oh yeh - THAT sounds good ;P Only one of each, and unlike their parents, they're straight ;P )

Other than that - same old - just this summer is....messier...blew the filter up opening the pool so next week that'll be a nice job. Cracked 2 sections of the dock installing it - so there's ANOTHER job, and my roof needs replacing - desperately (26 years old, and it shows, unfortunately)

Going to be a busy summer (and the weather has been CRAP so far :/)

Nothing, chilling at home with with my fan blowing air at me. I hate most summers cuz they're hot as fuck. Currently studying computer science in a polytechnic (institute of technology is what you call it in the US?) and I get 3 months of summer vacations every year and fuck me, I'm not spending a single of these days working. I'll be home, covering all my windows so the sun doesn't make my place a living hell.

So far summer's been good to me - the amount of days where the temperature was 30 degrees celsius and above can be illustrated using one of your hands. I pray to the weather gods that it stays this way for the vast majority of summer (average 20-23c where I live). I hate summer. I love autumn and winter.

I truly hate sitting in one place just using my fingers to click keys on my keyboard and sweating like in a sauna at the same time. It's just torture whenever the temp is at 28c and above.

Whenever I'm asked why I hate summer I like to answer with this - whenever you're cold in winter, you just add more clothes. Whenever you're hot in summer, there's only so many clothes you can take off before you're arrested.

Can't you get a window or portable AC in your flat?

I don't think so. Even though the apartment is yours, the building isn't, I need permission to install that and even if they allowed it, it's expensive. I haven't seen any of those "look he's got AC" thingys outside people's windows or balconies. I'm using a big fan whenever things get ridiculously hot, but that only delays the inevitable. Sleeping during hot summers is a nightmare.

Same as during not summer breaks; NEET things.

What if I told you some first world countries give their citizens the right to a 3 week vacation during the summer.

Shhh don't shatter his illusions of Canada vs. rest of the world.

[Mormolyce]

[Nymhi]

When I was still in school I used to work every summer and save up money to start a business.

Going on forced vacation to Rhodos. Nothing to do there. Binging Overlord and watching Sacriel and the MSTK3000 marathon on twitch on laptop. Posting on forums on my tablet.

Nothing to do back home. Quit wow acouple of weeks ago, too many shitt features this expansion. Waiting for sept 14th when divinity original sin 2 comes out.

Only when you're working as an adult you realize that there's a lot to do on Mediterranean islands like Rhodos:
- Relax in the sun, by the pool or in the sea. We have so few opportunities to completely forget about the daily rat race that simply doing nothing for 2 weeks feels like the biggest luxury in the world.
- Go hiking. Rhodos has a wonderfully diverse topography. Visit the many vineyards and olive groves.
- Eat and drink. Their cuisine is great. Sit on a terrace outside of a cafe and just talk the day away.
- Educate yourself: visit their musea, the Acropolis of Lindos, the ancient cities of Kamiros and Ialyssos.
- Rent a boat and get out there.

Man I could go to Rhodos right about now.

Jesus the people in this thread being "time off, what is that?"

Just what backwards countries do you live in. Get in contact with your Union man. Everyone in Denmark gets 3 weeks.

Festivals, only been one this year but it was worth it just to see ice cube. Other then that just relaxing.

[Charge me Doctor]
