Every summer, we all have that secret bucket list which we all wish to accomplish. Maybe we stick to it, maybe we do not. But whatever the result, we are all hopeful the day we pin it to our corkboard or plaster it to our fridge. We all believe that this summer will be different. That we will be different. Thus we stare at our list in hopeful admiration, watching the points get crossed off and the days of summer pass by. Every summer this happens, and this coming season is no exception.

In full preparation for the season of bikinis and freedom, I drafted my very own list so you don't have to. Feel free to copy, add on, or be inspired by it. After all this is your summer!
