The Summer Bucket List
Kate Ulveling

Summer is right around the corner and there is no time for regrets. School will shortly return in August, so I think it is important to make the most of each day and try something new often. I am absolutely guilty for "running out of things to do" during the summer and always catch myself counting down the days until school comes around.

With that, I encourage all of you live life to the fullest and I guarantee, with this bucket list, you can make every day count. Here are 50 activities to do this summer:

1. Go on a hike.

2. Have a picnic in the park.

3. Wake up early and drive to the beach before the sunrise.

4. Go rock climbing.

5. Treat yourself to a popsicle.

6. Have a pajama party and a movie marathon.

7. Catch a really big fish.

8. Make a s'more by the fire.

9. Finally road trip to a place you've never been (but have always wanted to go).

10. Try a new coffee shop.

11. Do pilates.

12. Do yoga.

13. Read a new book that has a movie.

14. Watch the book's movie when you're finished reading.

15. Cook your friends dinner.

16. Ding-dong ditch your friend's houses and leave them with little presents.

17. Standup paddle board.

18. Treat yourself by going on a shopping spree.

19 Run your farthest distance yet.

20. Lay in the sun and tan.

21. Sign up for a race.

22. Host a party.

23. Make a lemonade stand. Donate the proceeds to something you care about.

24. Plan a romantic date with someone special.

25. Make memories with strangers on the beach.

26. Watch a movie outside (and don't forget the popcorn).

27. Tie-dye a T-shirt.

28. Kayak.

29. Write a poem or a song. Maybe even give it to someone.

30. Pull an all-nighter with your friends.

31. Bake cookies at midnight. Make sure you have milk to dip them in.

32. Go to a concert.

33. Skinny dip.

34. Create a blog or start a diary for yourself.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
