The Ultimate 2016 Summer Bucket List
QuoteIdeas.com

While it is January and the snow is coming down, we anticipate summer. Every summer we promise ourselves it will be the best summer ever. This summer bucket list will help you fulfill that promise.


1. Roadtrip

Grab some friends, snacks, pick a destination and drive. Go where the wind takes you and have a blast!


2. Go to a Concert


Go to your favorite(or least) artist's concert, or go to a rave or music festival. Next, grab some friends, buy the most expensive ticket(or the cheapest) and jam out all night or day!


3. Volunteer



The word volunteering can be dreadful, but it is a great thing to do and it will make you feel good! Volunteer at a homeless shelter, animal shelter, at your local hospital, or even volunteer to pick up your neighborhood after July 4th! This is the best way to get some brownie points and feel great.


4. Buy a book


Nothing is better than crawling up in the sun with a good read. No matter what, there is a good read out there for you. Whether you like sweet love stories like, "The Fault in the Stars" or a big girl read like, "50 Shades of Grey" pick up a book and read. Once you found the book of the summer, lay out by the pool or in the pool and enjoy your escape.


5. Get wrapped up in a Netflix series


Go on a guilt-free Netflix binge. There's no homework needing to be done! Watch without stopping, tell Netflix to stop judging you, and press "continue watching" and when you're done start a new series.


6. Explore Pinterest


Find a new recipe and try it out, or find a creative date night, and go on the best date ever! Find crafts and try not to hurt yourself. Pinterest has everything! It will keep your summer busy and you will find so many new adventures for your summer!


7. Try out new restaurants


Is there a restaurant that has caught your eye? This summer go try it out! Find your new favorite food. Take other fellow foodies and become the new foodie in town.


8. Celebrate Christmas in July



Celebrate everyone's favorite holiday in July! Grab friends and family, and make July the month of giving. Go shopping for your loved ones, go volunteer and give. Even put up a Christmas tree if your heart desires. Make some BBQ and chill by the pool after "Christmas." Also, don't forget to make it a tradition.


9. Leave your phone at home

For a day(or more) leave your phone at home! Have a summer like your parents did. Go out and roller skate, go to the beach and do Baywatch, borrow their 8-track and jam out! Do Summer like it is the 80s!


10. Spend summer with your favorites


Your summer bucket list wouldn't be complete without your favorite people. Spend as much time as you can with them during the summer before you go your separate ways back to your separate schools. Do crazy things or things you would do together when you were five. Make the summer of 2016 your BEST summer!

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.
