25 Things That Should Be On Everyone's Summer Bucket List

wordstream

For most of us, summer has already begun or is about to begin. As summer 2016 closes in on us, it is time to make a bucket list for the upcoming season. Especially for college kids, this means that we have three months to do whatever our heart desires.

The problem is, if we do not make a bucket list in the beginning, this summer will fly by and nothing we wanted to get done will be accomplished. So not only do I recommend making this bucket list, but I also suggest putting it somewhere you can see daily and actually putting in the effort to get most, if not everything, checked off.

This will not only guarantee that you have a great summer but that you will also have memories that will last a lifetime. Creating these bucket lists can be hard, so below are some helpful ideas to get you started.

1. Take a spontaneous road trip

2. Relax and read a book

3. Sneak into a hotel pool

4. Go see your favorite artist in concert

5. Have a movie night with your best friends

6. Go to the beach and get a tan

7. Make that Pinterest treat you always wanted to try

8. Finish a show on Netflix

9. Redecorate your room

10. Go to a baseball game

11. Spend time with your family

12. Have a summer fling

13. Play mini-golf

14. Go camping

15. Watch a sunrise/sunset

16. Go to a farmers market

17. Go hiking

18. Go to a drive-in

19. Go to an amusement park

20. Paint a cooler

21. Make a scrapbook

22. Get in shape

23. Try indoor skydiving

24. Create a blog

25. Enjoy life

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
