A Realistic Summer Bucket List

In This Article:

There's a lot of pressure to make use of your summer. But, it can be pretty difficult to enjoy your summer when you're always running out of time or money. Here are a few ideas to turn your boring summer into an awesome one!

Go camping in your car

It's the easiest yet most fun summer activity that exists. It only takes a car and a blanket! Additional perk: waking up and watching the sunrise.

Go on a bike ride

Biking is my favorite way to experience the outdoors and get exercise in the summer.

Catch fireflies in mason jars

This always brings me back to my childhood. I'd catch fireflies with my cousin every night, and then we'd go get ice cream. Definitely my favorite summer memory.

Take a mini road trip

Even if it's just an hour away, there's a million things you can do on the way. You can sing with friends to playlists from the early 2000's (my personal favorite), make a vlog, or play road trip games.

Hang out with people you haven't seen in a while

This one takes a little planning, but it's worth it every time.

Have a lazy Sunday

If you get a free day, you don't have to do anything at all. It's really good for your mental health to just relax and enjoy the day.

Go to the lake

Lake days are a classic summer favorite.

Learn something new

We have an endless amount of information at our fingertips! Use the internet, read a book, or watch the news to learn about something you're curious about.

Start a little garden

Your garden can either be artificial with little hassle (and be a really cute decoration) or real with all the benefits of home-grown food.

Start a journal

Starting a journal can be a great way to vent, remember memories, or be creative.

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.
