Right about now is when you start to see an influx of "Summer Bucket List" posts that promise thrilling summers filled with excitement and adventure that all seem totally manageable- until you realize they're actually not at all, especially when you're working 30+ hours a week. Since sadly impromptu road trips aren't really something that working college kids can manage I thought I'd take it upon myself to make a summer bucket list with more realistic and attainable goals, and here it is.
1. Sleep more than 8 hours
2. Make one of the recipes you saved on Facebook
3. Make a new Pinterest board
4. Attempt to craft something from said board
5. Spend a ridiculous amount of money in A.C. Moore buying supplies
6. Fail miserably
7. Repeat steps 3-6.
8. Read a new book before seeing the movie
9. Get a haircut for the first time in 6+ months
10. Buy a disposable camera at CVS (but probably end up never getting the pictures developed)
11. Return all the phone calls you've been avoiding
12. Try something from one of the hundred beauty tutorials you've watched
13. Wash your makeup brushes/blenders for the first time
14. Go to a yoga class and actually enjoy it
15. Clean out "the drawer" (you know exactly which one I'm talking about)
16. Get lunch with that friend you've been 'meaning to catch up with' since high school
17. Spend an afternoon in the park with your dog (your backyard works too)
18. Make a mix tape for the road trip you'll never go on
19. But plan that road trip anyways
20. Attempt DIY extreme couponing
21. Buy coordinating workout clothes
22. Try that new workout you saw on the Cosmo Snapchat Discover page
23. Online shop without leaving everything in the cart for 4 months
24. Organize your closet by color
25. Arrange the perfect Netflix-watching set up
26. Give scrap-booking a shot (using the supplies from your failed crafting endeavor)
27. Paint your nails a color other than black or pink
28. Order a secret menu item without being annoying about it
29. Start that show on Netflix everyone's told you to watch
30. Finally install the new iPhone update
31. Go to breakfast early enough for it to not technically be brunch
32. Do your own laundry and/or grocery shopping for a whole week
**33. Enjoy your summer without feeling unnecessary pressure to complete every item on a bucket list that can only be accomplished in an ideal world
