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.
