Summer is right around the corner and it seems that everyone is ready to make it a memorable one. In order to guarantee it's everything you hope for, it’s important to set goals about the things you wish to achieve in these three short months. Whether you hope to step out of your comfort zone or return to the familiarities of home, here are some goals you should add to your list.

1. Get a nice, even tan.

There’s no better feeling than seeing the paleness of winter fade into a even tan because "look good, feel good" am I right?

2. Work (a lot).

Freshman year has definitely not been kind to my bank account. It will be nice to have some spending money in my wallet to buy new clothes or some ice cream or pay for the countless adventures I have planned. But it's also important to save as much as possible to in preparation for next semester and, you know, college.

3. Eat healthier.

Sure, we all want to get that beach bod and that's definitely a top priority. But more importantly, when you eat better, you feel better. I mean french fries are great and all, but there's nothing like the taste of fresh fruit or the good type of full that you feel after eating a salad.

4. Make a good summer playlist.

The soundtrack to this summer has to be a good one. Some country for the beach, some rap for long drives, some relaxing songs for tanning and so much more.

5. Worry less.

Now that finals are done and we have three months off from school, it's important to take some time and enjoy yourself without being stressed. So let go of your worries and just live life.

6. Spend more time with family.

Again, after not having spent much time with them for the past two semesters, some family time is definitely needed.

7. Go on a road trip.

It could be 20 miles or 2,000 miles, but getting out of town for a little and seeing new things is worth the little bit of gas money. So get some friends, have everyone chip in and take some back roads to unfamiliar places.

8. Try new things.

We, as humans, are creatures of habit and it's very easy for us to get stuck in the same routine every day. Which is why it's my goal to switch things up and do something different once in a while.

9. Get into yoga.

After watching all the Instagram videos of impressive yoga moves, I've decided it's time to try it out myself. So this summer, I plan to wake up a little earlier and do some yoga (maybe even on the beach).

10. Make some of the tasty videos.

We all share them and tag our friends, but never actually make them and I don't know how many more sweet treats I can look at without trying to make one myself. So I plan to essentially become a top chef this summer. Watch out.

11. Reach out to and reconnect with old friends.

Even though you may not be as close now, the gesture of showing an interest in how someone's doing is never a bad thing. In fact, who knows, you might end up realizing why you were friends to begin with and become closer with them after all.

12. Work on some cute DIY projects.

Let's be real: I browse Pinterest for hours at a time, so I might as well be productive.

13. Grow out my hair.

I always cut my hair before it reaches the length I want and then regret it immediately. This time I will achieve the long beach waves I've always wanted.

14. Adventure more.

Whether it's going on a hike or driving across the state, the experience is always worth it. As Ellie says in "UP", "Adventure is out there" and you have to find it.

15. Be completely happy.

Soak in the sun, smile a little bit more, stress a little bit less, and just enjoy yourself.
