The Summer Bucket List: Results

Did I really do what I said I was going to do this summer?

The Summer Bucket List: Results
s-media-cache

Back in May, right when summer started, I wrote my summer bucket list of 11 things I wanted to do before the summer ended. Well, now that the semester has started and is in full swing, I'm going back in time to see if I actually did anything this summer. (I didn't.)

1. Actually get a tan

LOL. This definitely didn't happen. I will forever be pale. While I do have some tan lines, it's nothing like I wanted them.

2. Save all the money

I mean, I did save money but then I moved into a new apartment and there it all went.

3. Go tubing

I DID DO THIS. Ichetucknee Springs is definitely a place I think everyone should go to. The water is so cold and refreshing - especially on a hot summer day!

4. Go to the beach at least twice a month

To get a tan, I needed to go to the beach, so this didn't happen either. I did go to the beach, but not as much as I wanted.

5. Sleep

I did get to sleep in when I wasn't working mornings, but other than that, my body got used to waking up at 8:30. Naps were a thing though.

6. Don't stress out

Hm, well looking for an apartment didn't really help me with this so "not stressing out" didn't really happen.

7. Go somewhere new

I didn't have any big or grand travel adventures but I did go to Savannah, GA which I've never been to so, mission accomplished.

8. Dye my hair

Didn't dye it but I did get a different style so I would say I accomplished this one.

9. Learn new recipes

I had no kitchen so no knew recipes were learned. :(.

10. Work out everyday

HA! This one DEFINITELY didn't happen. When you have summer classed and work, the last thing you want to do is go and workout.

11. Read! Read! Read!

I did finish one book and start a new one so I'm giving this one to myself. (Also, Me Before You is just as sad as you think it is.)

So, it was a kind of successful summer but I definitely did work more than I did fun things so now it is my mission to make next summer or any other breaks fun and adventurous while I still have breaks and don't have a full time job. We'll see how that goes.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
