My 2018 Summer Bucket List
Glenn Carstens-Peters

Summer, how did you arrive so fast? However, I am not complaining. This past semester has been crazy busy with my academics, extracurriculars, and work. By the time the semester ends (2 weeks!), I am going to be more than ready to begin summer. Although I will be busy working and starting an internship, I will make sure to accomplish most, if not all, of my summer bucket list before the new school year.

Hike Acadia

What kind of Mainer am I if I have never been to Acadia? Well, by this summer, I will no longer be an Acadia virgin. I do enjoy hiking, although I never find the time to do it. The times that I have hiked, however, have been nothing short of wonderful. There is no better accomplishment than getting to your destination at the end of the journey. And of course, taking beautiful scenic pictures.

Blueberry Picking

I know, right? Something so simple, so basic, but I have never had the opportunity to go. However, I will make it a priority to go this summer. I can already smell the blueberry pie.

Weekend in Canada

My best friend, Chandler, and I have been dying to go to Canada together. Hopefully we will make time to go!

Power Yoga

I typically go to classes that are meditative and that focus on deep stretching. I have been wanting a class that is more fast-paced, so hopefully I can try a power yoga class this summer!

Visit Carrabassett Coffee Company

As of a year ago I have been in love with Carrabassett coffee, especially their Bad Dog blend. I’d love to take a road trip to the coffee house in Kingfield, ME and try more flavors!

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

For the love of flowers, of course.

New York City trip

It’s been a few years since I have visited the Big Apple, and I would love to see a broadway show, go shopping, and try out new restaurants.

Pottery Classes

Although artsy activities are not always my forte, I am curious to see how I would do. Maybe this will bring back Maria's creative side when she took ceramics freshman year of high school??

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
