OK, I have five ways that might just help you like reading a little more:
1.) Read different books to see which one you like the most.
2.) Read a short book and then read a long book like Harry Potter or something.
3.) Listen to a book on a CD.
4.) Look at a picture book! (Fun!)
5.) My fifth one would have to be not to read at all. (Sorry.)
I love to read and you should too, so try to read at least one book this summer. It makes you smarter!
Five things you need to figure out before your senior year
5. Create a schedule
I can't say this enough. You need to decide early on how you're going to manage your time so you can get homework and other special projects done on time. Otherwise, good luck getting them finished at 4 a.m.
4. Start visiting colleges during your sophomore and/or junior year
It's a good idea to get a head start on what you want to do with your life. Trust me; you don't want to be visiting colleges in the midst of all the other stuff you have to do for senior year. Figure it out beforehand so that it's one less thing you have to worry about.
3. Save your pennies
You really don't want to be caught in your senior year of high school or your freshman year in college without cash. If you don't have a job by your junior year, I suggest you get one and begin putting money away. Some students have to pay for a college education by themselves, and I don't think you want to be empty-pocketed then!
2. Keep an eye out for college scholarships
Apply for college scholarships early and often. Even if you don't think you'll get the scholarship, apply anyway. A little extra cash never hurt. Some scholarships have earlier deadlines than others, so watch out - the one you want may sneak up on you when you least expect it.
1. Wean yourself off "The Office"
I enjoy prime-time television as much as the next person, but remember No. 5? You need to prioritize certain things in your life; things that are important to your future. That being said, if you don't have time to watch your favorite shows, you should find a way to break the urge to watch "Lost" every Thursday night. Otherwise, you're going to be roped back in.

1. Go swimming - There is no comparison to plunging into the clear, cold water of a pool on an extremely hot day. Swimming is a nice way to relax and have fun with family and friends as the summer begins.
