40 Ideas For Your Summer Bucketlist

With summer right around the corner, it's hard to stay in the school mindset. Class has become shopping online for your summer wardrobe, or maybe just scrolling through Pinterest looking at dope summer boards. Nonetheless, as the days keep getting warmer, that summer itch just gets stronger. You can't stop thinking about the million different things you're going to do, or the friends that you'll finally get to see.

Now, if you're anything like me, you've started making a summer bucket list, of everything to do over the incredible summer months. If you haven't, get started immediately! Having a bucket list will encourage you to do more; you'll truly have a more fulfilling summer. So whether your list is almost finished, or you've only just begun, here's 40 things from mine to kickstart the best summer yet!

1. Go camping.

2. Swing from a rope into a lake.

3. Go to the aquarium.

4. Roadtrip with friends.

5. Beach bonfire.

6. Write a book of poetry.

7. Watch the sunrise and sunset.

8. Go skinny dipping.

9. Try a new haircut.

10. Host a bbq/pool party.

11. Lay out on a hammock all day.

12. Find someone who owns a yacht and invite yourself to one of their parties.

13. Participate in a hotdog eating contest.

14. See a drive-in movie.

15. Do a helicopter tour.

16. Go to a music festival.

17. Make breakfast in bed.

18. Get a massage.

19. Go hiking.

20. Spend ALL day at the beach.

21. Bike down the lake.

22. See a play.

23. Go to a fancy brunch.

24. Travel somewhere spontaneous.

25. Get a pet.

26. Go zip lining.

27. Go on a cruise.

28. Snorkel.

29. Do more yoga.

30. Learn more ukulele songs.

31. Stargaze.

32. Buy and lay in a hammock.

33. Do a backflip.

34. Watch a movie every week.

35. Try more exotic foods.

36. Finish a crossword.

37. Morning runs on the beach.

38. Treat yourself to a massage.

39. Try geocaching.

40. Commit to 24 hours of silence.

This last one is my favorite. Something about devoting an entire day to inward thinking intrigues me. Who knows what thoughts I might think, or what adventures I could concoct.

I encourage you to print out this bucket list or start creating one of your own. I have never made one and am stoked to give it a try!

Share it with friends, family or anyone you can think of; summers are more fun when they are spent with those you hold close!

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.
