It's that time again! The glorious long days of summer are coming to an end and school is right around the corner. Every year around this time I find myself regretting my decisions to stay inside and watch Netflix most days. This year I have put my foot down! I have decided that I am going to adventure out this summer and experience some good summer fun! Here are some ideas that you can take advantage of while there is still time.

1. Go Backpacking

Nothing says adventure like backpacking the great outdoors. This is a great way to experience nature, but also a great way to get pulled outside of your comfort zone. There is no option for "fancy" camping and no chance of getting Netflix to occupy you!


2. Try Out Cliff Diving

This is one that is not for the faint of hearts. If you have never done this, there is no doubt that this will be an experience. This is adventure for those of you that love water and love getting that adrenaline rush.


3. Take A Road Trip

It's not everyday that you get a chance to get together with your friends and drive cross country. Once school starts back there will be no time for such spontaneity. Go out, take a risk, and end up where ever the road takes you!


4. Go Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Although not as intense as some of the other activities listed, stand up paddle boarding requires a modest amount of skill. Once getting balanced while standing, it is a fun laid back activity that allows you to chill out and appreciate the things around you.


5. Take A Canopy Zip Line Tour

Not only do you get to zip around high in the air, but you also get to see some amazing views. Zip lining is something that allows the participant to get that adrenaline rush, but also hang out and enjot the ride!

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?

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.
