Keeping Busy

Most Teens in the downriver area find it to be very boring. "What is there to do? What can we do?," most teens might ask their friends. The truth is that there is lots to do in Downriver. The problem is the situations that prevent you from doing activities. There is much more to do in the Summer and Fall; rather than the Winter and Spring. In summer you can go to man made ponds like Heath Beach, or even go for a swim at the Wave Pool. You can also go out side and play some backyard football or volleyball at the local recreational centers. I do have to admit, nothing is worse than being stuck inside on a cold winter day. Winter is just depressing. Many people seem to forget about all the board games sitting in the back of the closet. Nothing beats the feeling of blowing the dust of that old board game that you used to play as a child. Spring can be a little better than winter. It all depends on that great Michigan weather. Some days it will be in the 60's and you can go throw the football outside with just a hoodie and sweat pants; but then again there are the days that feel like it's below 0 degrees outside. All you can do is be miserable. There is always something to do where every you are. Next time you feel bored, try to be creative and attempt to do something constructive.
