Every summer is filled with its own unique memories or perhaps similar ones depending on what kind of life you live. Regardless, the classic summer bucket list is the best way to realistically and unrealistically plan all the accomplishments for the upcoming summer. Yes, I understand that these types of articles are normally written before summer and not at the end. That is why I am here to tell you all of the things you should have done this summer. Don't worry if you haven't crossed them all off yet, you still have some time.
1. Road trip with friends
This road trip does not necessarily have to be across the country, simply hop in the car, turn on some turns and go just about anywhere near or far. However, it is not a true road trip until something minor goes wrong (ex. parking tickets, accidentally end up in Canada, locked keys in car, etc.)
2. Worked (a lot)
I mean, how else did you plan to fund all these bucket list plans?
3. Concert
Music festival, country concert, maybe an alternative venue, whatever your style, summer is the perfect time to catch your favorite band or a new singer on stage.
4. Read some quality books
There is no better time than summer to grab that pile of books you've been pushing off for when you had more free time. Whether it's a long car ride or lounge on the beach, I hope one of those dear books made it by your side.
5. Went somewhere you've never been
Again, this does not mean you dropped everything and went to Canada or some exotic island. All you had to do was check out one of those cool and mysterious places close to home. They're only as far away as you want them to be.
6. Binge-watched that Netflix series
How to feel productive on a rainy day; watch an entire season of that Netflix series you've been meaning to watch. I know that's how I spent my lazy days.
7. Go to the beach
This one is not a must, but it is definitely a nice addition to the summer bucket list. Just don't forget the sunscreen.
8. Ate lots of ice cream
Last but not least, my favorite summer pastime. I hope you visited at least one of those sketchy but yummy ice cream shops, because you best believe that is what I did.
