The summer holidays of the digital natives
(by Ally&Aury)
Summer Holidays: a highly anticipated moment!
“Summer holidays” are two words that, at our age, take on a particular meaning. In fact, after spending months in school preparing a for thousand tests and quizzes, summer holidays are the prize that every student deserves, also because let’s face it: a little rest never hurts anyone, especially at the end of a year that seemed to last an eternity.
June is, therefore, the time to forget about books and school desks to regroup and recharge in anticipation of the next school year (yes, sooner or later September arrives for everyone).
And, although students almost always have to do some kind of homework in the summer, if they get organized they can also find moments of healthy relaxation and fun with their friends and family.
June, July and August also mean something essential: holidays of any kind, in the mountains or at the seaside, in art cities or in small medieval villages perched on a hill. In any case, one of our priorities undoubtedly includes the search for so-called “instagrammable” destinations, that is, places to photograph and share with all our friends on social media: of course, that requires an excellent internet connection available where we are staying, so that we can make a daily dump of our fantastic days every night.

Wi-Fi is also very important, because it allows us to keep in touch with our friends and family who aren’t spending their holidays with us, but, above all, it allows us to send beautiful photos to our grandmothers, who particularly care about being updated on what we are doing.
The holidays, however, are not only about internet and social media: although we are a hyper-connected generation, for many of us the holidays represent the perfect time to take a break from the digital world and our smartphones.
Therefore, in addition to well-deserved relaxation, we want to be able to choose from many different activities every day: excursions, sports, experiences and games with friends are all options that can make our holidays exciting and stimulating.
First of all, what kind of summer would it be without loungers, beach umbrellas and the sun?
Beach umbrellas and sunbeds are, in fact, our favourite way to take shelter in the shade, listen to our favourite music, or read a beautiful book that was on your bedside table for months and we never read because we didn’t even have time to breathe during the school year. Or a novel assigned by a teacher that at first glance may not be to our taste, but which eventually becomes one of our favorites to be read over and over again.
However, the beach also makes you hungry, the bars by the sea are perfect for having some frozen drinks or a delicious ice cream, and maybe for posting some nice stories on social media.

For those who love sports, summer is the perfect time to engage in numerous outdoor activities that in the previous months were impossible to do: we love snorkelling, cycling during sunset along the seafront, playing beach volleyball with our friends and much more!
(P.S. summer sports >>>> winter sports, and we will never change our minds about that.)
Finally, let’s talk about evening activities, such as parties and music, which are essential to make our summer unforgettable.
Summer evenings offer numerous opportunities to have fun and socialize outdoors with friends and, why not? Maybe with other people you will meet during the holidays.
Parties on the beach or by the pool are a requirement, with lots of loud music, games and food, so as to spend a fun evening with our friends.
Of course, we can’t miss themed dinners or outdoor barbecues, which turn into a perfect opportunity to experiment with new recipes and hang out with friends!
These are our secrets for a perfect and unforgettable summer: always keep an eye on September and on the homework to be done before school starts, without giving up the relaxation and the vibes that only summer is able to give us.
