22 Things To Put On Your Summer Bucket List

barnyz

Since we are towards the end of the semester, I have been thinking a lot about summer. Summer is that time of the year in which everyone is finally free from school--unless you are taking summer courses--and can plan to do all the things you could not do before.

Summer is the perfect time to go out, enjoy nature, exercise, do sports, paint, take lots of pictures, write, read, travel, be creative, etc. The possibilities are just endless. I have to admit that my favorite season was fall, but, since this year we had a very crazy winter, summer has become my favorite.

As a result, I have been pretty excited about summer time and I have decided to write a list of the things I am planning to do. I hope everyone can relate and give me some more ideas to add to this list.

Without further ado...here is my list:

1. Ride a bike

It has been really nice outside and I hope it stays that way. It is just the perfect time to just go out and ride a bike.

2. Cook

I have always wanted to try so many recipes I have seen on media, but I haven't had enough time.

3. Read a book

I have a couple of books I have been trying to read, but again I have time management problems.

4. Road Trip

It would be very cool to do this and just forget for a bit about your problems and go to a place you have never been before.

5. Go to the Beach

This is an obvious one.

6. Go to an Amusement Park

I really want to ride a rollercoaster, I just love it.

7. Go out for long walks

Winter is finally over. It is time to get back outside.

8. Take care of myself

Now that I am free, I just want to give more attention to myself. Take a long bath, meditate, have a positive attitude, etc.

9. Be more creative

I want to finish all those drawings and paintings I have started once, and also make new ones too.

10. Eat Healthier

This is going to be hard because we all have something that we can just quit eating.

11. Earn and save some money

When I get or earn some money, the first thing I do is spend it on new clothes or any other type of material good I really want at that moment. Yes, I need to think a little bit more before spending everything I have.

12. Rock Climbing

I just need to do it and check it out of my list.

13. Binge-Watch old/new TV shows

Ahhh....there are way too many. I might start right now.

14. Relax

Yes, school is over...no more worries

15. Sleep

Again--school is over--now I can get those 15 hours of sleep if I want.

16. Learn those song lyrics I wanted so badly

There are so many songs I want to learn and sing along.

17. Take lots of pictures

18. Canoeing

I just need to do it again, I had so much fun.

19. Have a picnic

This seems like a very interesting idea--I hope there are not bees outside though.

20. Volunteer

There are many opportunities and is a way of helping people.

21. Get a job

It is very hard to get a job you like, but I will not surrender. I will just keep trying.

22. Try something new

Mmm...Yes! I definitely need to do this!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
