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??
