Over seven years ago, my sister made a list of all the things she wanted to do over that summer. We called it a pail list because a bucket was too large. That list hung on the side of our fridge for a few years before being completed, but the list stretched out to almost 30 different items that included out of state trips, meeting up with family members, and visiting locations that are summer must. That list back then was filled of fun and is the inspiration for my musts do’s this summer as I leave my first year of college.

1. Get a Job!

My first real job is a must this summer. Not only do I want some spending money for the summer but when I go back to school I know I’ll need it more

2. Reconnect with old friends

Seeing some of my greatest friends the first week being back and hopefully reconnecting with more throughout the summer

3. Travel

With a wedding in early June down in South Carolina and my sister staying in New Orleans I know this one is possible. But I hope for a trip that last a little longer and is a little further away

4. Get Fit

I’m not completely unhealthy but I want to get a healthier diet and workout a little.

5. Show off Rhode Island

My boyfriend is from Connecticut and I can’t wait to show him the Rhode Island novelties that include the items on the list I previously wrote about RI

6. Find a New Spot

I’ve seen a good deal of Rhode Island but I want to explore a little more and find the perfect unfound spot

7. Get Another Tattoo

I can’t help it, I’m kind of addicted!

8. Purge

I want to clean my room and get rid of most of the things I leave behind when I go off to school anyways! I like to hold on to things so it’s about time to get rid of the stuff that no longer matters

9. Build something that will last forever!

Like some awesome memories! Here’s to a great summer!
