Start your summer bucket list now! Thinking of things you're going to do makes the rest of the year that much easier.

1. Music Festival

Whether its Coachella, or Governor’s Ball, Electric Zoo, Firefly Music festival or Lollapalooza. There is one in almost every state. This is definitely something you should experience at least once.

2. Karaoke Bar

Scream at the top of your lungs with your closest friends, celebrate the summer and celebrate each other.

3. Beer Olympics/True American tournament

4. Concerts

Dancing to your favorite band or singer, or even someone you don’t know, is always something to look forward to.

5. A hike with friends

I am not very athletic but even I want to go on a hike with my friends this summer, somewhere where we can sit at the top and just sit and look at the view.

6. Take a road trip

Even if it’s just for one night, go for a long drive. Stop at a gas station and buy candy, make a playlist for your trip and take the time to get to know who you are with even better than you thought you did.

7. Go to a drive-in or outdoor Movie theatre

Movies are always fun, switch it up by watching it from your car or from a blanket or lawn chair.

8. Beach days/Lake days

Go to someone’s summerhouse or find the closest lake, sit there all day, tanning and feeling the sun. Read a book, play music, this is by far one of the best parts of summer.

9. Go to an amusement park, carnival or theme park

Disney Land, Six Flags, Hershey Park, Great wolf lodge, Harry Potter world, or Splish Splash. A long and fun day sure to be one of your best days this summer.

10. Go camping

It can be part of your road trip, or it can just be very close by. Making S'mores, telling stories and sleeping in a tent. It can be so uncomfortable but so memorable and fun at the same time.
