20 Fun Things To Put On Your Summer Bucket List

Summer is full of opportunities to do fun, exciting activities and go on all sorts of adventures. It can sometimes come with the added pressure to have amazing stories when you return to school about what you did for three months. Here is a list that can start you off if you feel overwhelmed with possibilities or you just don't know what to to first.

1. Build a bonfire on the beach.

2. Watch as many sunsets from as many different locations as possible.

3. Pick up a new hobby to do every Sunday afternoon.

4. Take a road trip to somewhere you’ve never been.

5. Get up early enough to tackle a sunrise hike.

6. Memorize a couple stellar constellations and spend several clear nights trying to find them.


7. If you live in mountains, take a weekend trip to swim in the closest ocean or lake.

8. If you live next to the ocean, take a weekend trip to hike the nearest mountain.


9. Run a mile farther than your longest run.

10. Learn a useful life skill, like changing a tire or budgeting money.

11. Try a new flavor of ice cream instead of getting your usual order.

12. Make your own ice cream.


13. Cut your hair so it’s shorter or lighter for the hot weather.

14. Set aside an afternoon to explore new areas on your bike and get lost.

15. Do the most touristy thing in your town or city.

16. If you live in too small of a town, get to the closest city and find the most touristy activity.

17. Save enough money to take all your friends out for burgers and milkshakes.


18. Make the perfect s’more.

19. See an outdoor concert.

20. Run through a fountain or sprinklers on a particularly hot day.

Get out there and enjoy your summer. Take advantage of the nice weather, add to this list, and make it the best three months you've ever had.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
