I'm 16. Summer is here. What should I do?

My last few summers have been spent in my room reading and playing video games. I feel that I am wasting my time and when summer finishes I feel that I have wasted 3 months of my life. I don't that to happen this year. So what should I do?

    May 25 2012: Read Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. Walk 30-minutes a day for 30 consecutive days (it will become a health-giving habit). Keep a journal for the Summer of 2012. Visit weekly with folks who can't get out much (old people hardly ever get to talk with young people). Move nearer to a decision about your career choice. Try to conquer something you fear (public speaking, heights, confined spaces, etc.).
