11 Things That NEED To Be On Your End Of Summer Bucket List

August has quickly run upon us. That means school is back in session, college students are decorating their dorm rooms, and adults start working more. There is no better time than now to complete everything you wish you would've done this summer or to knock some things off of that bucket list that has been sitting in your notes for way too long. You can do something adventurous, just relax by yourself, or get outdoors with your friends to create more memories. The possibilities are endless, but time is not. With the spooky season right around the corner, we have roughly a month before summer festivities come to a halt!

1. Go to an amusement park

There is nothing more thrill-seeking than riding roller coasters with your buddies or going down slides at a water park on a hot summer day. I had the privilege of going to both Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio this summer. If you live close to either of the parks or are down for a road trip, I highly recommend!

2. Go to a concert

Nothing screams summer more than going to an outside concert with your closest friends or family. You can get all dressed up, take some amazing Instagram photos, and create awesome memories.

3. Go hiking or canoeing

Going outdoors is such a great stress reliever and way to clear your mind, especially before starting up classes again or before a shift at work.

4. Go skydiving

This one has been on my bucket list for a while now. This would be the best and most spontaneous thing to cross off your bucket list before summer comes to an end.

5. Get a piercing or tattoo

There's nothing better than randomly deciding to go get a piercing or tattoo with your friends. It would be a great way to close the summer.

6. Go to your favorite restaurant

My friends and I always go to one of our favorite restaurants right before we go our separate ways back to school. We recap over our summer and, of course, gossip a little.

7. Binge watch Netflix

Is there a show you've been dying to watch this summer, but have been too busy to do so? Right now would be the perfect time to lock yourself in your room before the crazy fall activities begin.

8. Go somewhere new

Sunflower

Whether it's a restaurant, a movie theater, a sunflower patch, etc. Get out there and go someplace you've never been to before.

9. Have a spa day

This is the perfect go-to if you've had a busy summer or you're just dreading going back to school or your job. Take a day to pamper yourself and decompress!

10. Plan a photo shoot

Grab some friends and a camera and go to a cool location. You'll feel extremely confident all dressed up, and it will be the perfect opportunity to get some fresh Instagram pics.

11. Spend time with your family

If you're anything like me, I haven't been home much this summer. I was always with friends, working, or catching up on sleep. Go out to dinner or have a movie night with the fam before everyone's lives get hectic again.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
