Finals have finally ended for most, and if they are still going on for you, hopefully they will be over very soon. If you don’t know what you’re doing over the summer yet, that’s totally fine, and if you do, that’s also great. Rather than working and going on a cabin trip, I’m not sure what this summer will bring for me, but here are some things I am looking forward to this summer.

1. Seeing my family

I haven’t been home since the end of December, and although I’ve seen my parents since then, I haven’t really spent that much time with them, or anytime with the rest of my family. I can’t wait.

2. Seeing my friends

It’s been almost 5 months since I’ve seen my friends from home, and I miss them dearly. I can’t wait to catch up and go on adventures with them.

3. Go to the beach

I love hitting up the Jersey shore. I’m pretty spoiled since my grandfather has a shore house that he loves to have me come visit.

4. Write away

I have a good story idea in mind, hopefully it’ll turn into something decent.

5. Go hiking

Who doesn’t love a good hike?

6. Try something new

I’ll try just about anything once.

7. Find a new show on Netflix

I’ll have the time so why not?

8. Discover new music

Maybe I’ll find a new genre or new artists to listen to.

9. Have a lot of dance parties

As if I don’t already.

10. Go to an amusement park

I need to get my roller-coaster fix taken care of; it’s been way too long.

11. Plant something

I’m not a big gardener, but hey, you never know.

12. Learn something new

I have so much to learn and so many skills I can pick up.

13. Pick some flowers

Just because it’s fun.

There’s so much or so little that can happen over a summer, depending on what you make of it. Go out there and find an adventure!
