10 Things You Need To Do This Summer.

Summer is here! The weather is warm, the pools are open, and the days are longer. This means you can have more day light to make a ton of activities. Everyone needs a list of things to do every summer. But this summer you should really try to spice things up a little bit. So why don't you try some of these awesome things before the summer ends.

1. Unplug yourself and connect with your family and friends.

Go at least one day without technology. Trust me it is going to feel awesome.

2. Go find the nearest body of water.

Water is a source of life.

3. Go for a picnic.

It might sound old fashioned, but the contact with nature will help you connect with your inner-self. Put your favorite snacks and a good wine in a basket, go find a grassy space somewhere, sit down, and have a meal enjoying your surroundings.

4. Try something you have never tried before.

It could be eating crickets out of a candy store or simply that new gym routine.

5. Have a BBQ.

The smell of ribs just melt my mouth. It is the perfect time of the year to have a BBQ and catch up with family and friends.

6. Volunteer.

During the summer we are usually less busy. It is good to give back to society. You never know when you are changing someone else's life.

7. Have a garage sale.

It is time to clean some stuff, but what a better way than a garage sale? You could even get a little bit of money out of those books that have been stored under your bed forever.

8. Attend a bonfire.

Make some s'mores and play some acoustic guitar. It is an underrated activity, but I promise you will have fun.

9. Take a nap in a hammock.

It is not a typical place to take a nap and the swing will put you down to sleep.

10. Do a touristy thing in your city you have never done before.

Do you remember that museum you have always wanted to visit? Well this is the perfect time to do it.


Hope you at least try one of these activities!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
