This weeks #2014BloggerChallenge, was to write a summer bucket list! I love this challenge so much, and came up with a list of 20 things I want to do before going back to uni in September!
1. Go on holiday
I've booked flights to stay with my friend Alison (you can check out her blog
here) in Greece in the middle of August, so this should be pretty simple to complete!
2. Do different things when Mr. T visits
Mr. T being "the boy" (thanks Betsy, for helping me come up with an online name for him! T is the initial of his first name!). I've been trying to come up with a list of things that we could do when he visits Essex to make things more interesting. So far I have "Southend-on-Sea" aaaaaand, that's about it! I'll keep working on this one!
3. Make ice cream floats
I used to make these ALL the time! Ice cream and coke... It sounds disgusting, but the result is a perfect concoction of fizz and cream.
4. Go on a road trip
A few friends, just go for a drive and end up somewhere we've not been to. Simple.
5. Eat ice cream at the beach
This could probably be achieved if me and Mr. T end up at Southend, but there's just something satisfying about watching the waves while eating an ice cream.
6. Visit uni friends
In particular, my friends Kirstie and Beth (my current and future housemates!), who both live around the Cambridge area. I've been promised a night out that I'm determined to fulfil this year!
7. Have a London tourist day
Simple, really. I've lived near London for my entire life, so I never get to do the whole "tourist" thing, like taking pictures outside the big landmarks and just taking in the scenery.
8. Go to somewhere new
This is again, quite simple. I want to visit somewhere I've never been before.
9. Swim in the sea
Believe it or not, I've never actually swum in a sea. I don't trust the English waters, but I'll 100% get to fulfil this wish when I'm in Greece! Clear waters and sun!
10. Bake more
Cupcakes, brownies, cookies, you name it, I want to make it!
11. Get a decent tan
Easier said than done. I want to be brown, not bright red, after my holiday!
12. Read more
I've actually just placed an order on Amazon for £55, purely on books, so this should be easy!
13. Go to a theme park
I haven't been to a theme park in years! Thorpe Park or Alton Towers is calling my name. I just need a car and friends willing to go!
14. Take more pictures
I've been pretty good with this lately, as I've really started getting into taking pictures for my blog, but I want to have a load of photos that I can look back at in a year or two.
15. Start yoga
It's so relaxing and beneficial, but for some reason, I can never be bothered to start!
16. Dip-dye my hair
Last summer, I dip-dyed my hair both purple and blue, and loved the results. I'd like to try that again.
17. See my friends more often
Last summer, I was too busy moping around or complaining about money to go out with my friends. I want that to change.
18. Clean out my junk
Get rid of all the unnecessary crap lying around in my room!
19. Summer-ise my wardrobe
Cut jeans into shorts, tie-dye some stuff, just make it more summery!
20. Make juice ice cubes and add Sprite
Super simple! I saw a Pinterest post, and you literally freeze fruit juice into ice cubes, and add Sprite. Sounds delicious!
What's on your summer bucket list?
