Classes are finally out, all stress is gone, IT'S SUMMER! Being able to sleep in and not have a care in the world is the absolute best feeling. Summer break is only a few months long, and the time always flies by. I always create a fun, do-able bucket list for the summer, to ensure I make time for all of the adventures my heart desires. Here are 20 things I plan to do, and think everyone should try to do before summer's out!!
1. Go to the aquarium
Getting to see all the different types of fish, sharks and all sorts of things there is definitely worth the trip and money.
2. Go to the zoo
Seeing all sorts of animals in their semi natural habit is a fun and eye opening opportunity, and a super fun trip for the summertime.
3. Go to an Orioles game
Doesn’t have to be a baseball game, but get out and go somewhere to watch a sporting event! They’re always fun and entertaining. (Plus the food is always delicious - and bad for you)
4. Go fishing
Getting to go to a pond to try and catch some fish is rather relaxing and can be a fun trip with friends
5. Go to the beach
Beach trips are essential for any summer break. Getting away from home, staying in a house or hotel and being able to relax for a week or so is just wicked. Being able to hear the waves crash on the shore and lay in the sand is one of the best feelings
6. Eat crabs
One of my favorite things about the summertime is being able to eat seafood, especially crabs!
7. Sleep under the stars
This doesn't cost anything! Grab a friend, a few sleeping bags and enjoy nature for a night!
8. Go to Busch Gardens
Going to any amusement park during summer break is always a must. Going on as many rides as possible and getting out of your comfort zone is one of the biggest perks of going!
9. Go on a picnic
Pack a lunch, go to a lake or a fun place and eat with some of your friends while enjoying time outdoors.
10. Go paddle boating
This is really fun, and something a lot of people have never done. Head out to a near by lake and start your adventure.
11. Have a bonfire
The real reason to have a campfire is so you can roast marshmallows and make as many s'mores as possible.
12. Try every DQ blizzard
What challenge could be better than trying to eat as many DQ blizzards as possible? I can’t think of anything
13. Go to church as much as possible
This is a fun, free activity that just helps me personally feel good
14. Run a half marathon
This is a challenge. Maybe you don’t want to run this much, but maybe try for a 5k or just simple run here and there
15. Go on a biking adventure
As long as you have a bike, this is a great way to get some exercise at the same time as having a blast. Being able to bike somewhere that has different sightseeing opportunities is an amazing experience.
16. Go bowling
This a cheaper, fun activity to do to get out of the house and have some fun
17. Help a stranger
Giving back and helping someone else is really rewarding not only for yourself but it benefits that stranger tremendously
18. Learn how to video game
Being able to keep up and understand what is going on in games and the best
19. Go hiking
This is a cheap way to have an adventure and be able to experience the awesomeness of nature at the same time
20. Grow as a person
I think this is one of the most important things you can do for yourself this summer. Take time out to really discover who you are and what you want out of life. This will help you grow and start to figure out your future!
All of these things are do-able and fun!! I hope all of your crazy adventures for the summer come with ease and tons of awesome fun! Be safe and stay adventurous!
