20 Fun Things To Put On Your Summer Bucket List

Summer is full of opportunities to do fun, exciting activities and go on all sorts of adventures. It can sometimes come with the added pressure to have amazing stories when you return to school about what you did for three months. Here is a list that can start you off if you feel overwhelmed with possibilities or you just don't know what to to first.

1. Build a bonfire on the beach.

2. Watch as many sunsets from as many different locations as possible.

3. Pick up a new hobby to do every Sunday afternoon.

4. Take a road trip to somewhere you’ve never been.

5. Get up early enough to tackle a sunrise hike.

6. Memorize a couple stellar constellations and spend several clear nights trying to find them.


7. If you live in mountains, take a weekend trip to swim in the closest ocean or lake.

8. If you live next to the ocean, take a weekend trip to hike the nearest mountain.


9. Run a mile farther than your longest run.

10. Learn a useful life skill, like changing a tire or budgeting money.

11. Try a new flavor of ice cream instead of getting your usual order.

12. Make your own ice cream.


13. Cut your hair so it’s shorter or lighter for the hot weather.

14. Set aside an afternoon to explore new areas on your bike and get lost.

15. Do the most touristy thing in your town or city.

16. If you live in too small of a town, get to the closest city and find the most touristy activity.

17. Save enough money to take all your friends out for burgers and milkshakes.


18. Make the perfect s’more.

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.

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.
