The temperature is increasing and school is letting out. My personal favorite time of the year is almost upon us and with that, the freedom that accompanies the season. The possibilities seem to be endless and as we approach the summer, I have been compiling a bucket list of sorts.
With that being said, these are the top five things that I wish to accomplish this summer.
1. Spend time outside.
While I love the warmth, I openly admit that I sweat like a pig and, because of that, I tend to spend little time outside. This year, I will spend time outside whether it be exercising or just basking in the sun. Maybe this year, I will get the tan I've always wanted.
2. Read a book.
I tend to do this every summer because it seems like one of the most productive uses of my time, on top of I usually have required reading for school. However, this year I would like to strengthen my love of reading by exploring different genres, finding new authors, and delving into a new series. The first summer I have without a reading assignment since I was in fifth grade looks promising.
3. Travel.
Whether it be a casual road trip with friends or a destination trip with my family, I am going to explore. I have always had trouble with actually executing trips because I usually am very busy. However, this summer is going to be different. I am going to wander without fear of the unknown.
4. Save money.
I have had a part-time job for the past two summers. However, I still seem to end the school year with no money. I am going to research money saving tips and develop financial knowledge. Money moves only this summer!
5. Organize.
The word organize seems very simple but in actuality, it holds a lot of meaning to me. I am going to organize every aspect of my life. My bedroom is going to be organized so I can focus on important things; I am going to organize my school things so that move in, and life, in general, will be easier in the fall. I am going to organize my priorities so that not only this summer but the next school year will be better than ever.
