While last summer was plagued by the coronavirus outbreak and virtual lifestyles, this summer can be quite different. Given the vaccine roll out across the nation, it has become more of a possibility to travel, hang out with friends, and spend time doing exactly what you missed out on last year.

You may want to do an assortment of activities in the summertime, especially given the warmer weather and greater availability with scheduling. It can be quite difficult to even think of where to begin, but I have brainstormed an extensive list of fun summer activities that you should complete this season.

Welcome to my ideal summer bucket list! Use these ideas in whatever way you would like, and try to spend as much time as possible out in the world trying something new or fun!
