Here's Your Ultimate Summer Bucket List

In This Article:

As everyone knows, school is really, really stressful. That's why we have summer, right?! Here are a few bucket list items you need to add to make your summer the best detox from exams and stress!

Be a tourist in your own city

To be honest, staycations are my favorite. Being able to explore the city or town you grew up in is an amazing experience. Eat at all of the local and favorite restaurants, shop in some of your city's favorite shops, and go to some of the favorite tourist locations! Make sure to go to some of the places that aren't as known but just as amazing as the well-known places.

Concerts

Concerts are the ultimate summer experience. There are many good artists touring this summer like Jon Bellion, Shawn Mendes, Khalid, Queen, the Jonas Brothers, Ariana Grande, and more! Check Ticketmaster and venues to see who is coming to a city near you!

Camping

I know not everyone is a big fan of camping, and honestly, I am not either, but if you are surrounded by some people that bring you joy, then it will be a thrill of a time! Grab a tent, or maybe just stay in a car or hotel, and enjoy the great outdoors. You can make some s'mores, tell stories, and spend the night in nature. Look up some campsites near you, or you can even just go in a field or a backyard!

Drive-in movies

Yes, drive-in movies deserve all of the hype. They are one of my favorite things about summer, especially the triple features! Grab some friends, a few chairs, a car or truck, some good snacks, and other goodies, and drive on over to the nearest drive-in theatre!

DIY

DIY projects are always a fun and creative way of decorating your room or home! Go on Pinterest, or even search online for some cool projects to spruce up your living space this summer! Paint on a canvas, make some bracelets, decorate your room with some hanging flowers, or even make a chair! With DIY-ing, the world is endless!

Ultimate baking challenge

A lot of people I know like to have baking challenges, and I think they are the best idea ever! Grab some friends and pick out something, in general, you want to make. For example, a cake, cupcakes, or casserole. Then, divide into teams, go shopping for ingredients, and have a baking challenge! After making your creation, have a judge taste test it, and see who made the winning dish. This is a fun way to make some great memories with friends!

Go to an amusement park

The name says it all! Amusement parks are my family's go-to whenever we want to do something exciting and fun. The thrill of rollercoasters and merry-go-rounds always bring smiles to people's faces. Look at cities around you to find a park, and if you can't, make a mini-vacation out of it and go to an amusement park in a different city!

Grab some friends and go have some fun!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
