10 Summer Bucket List Must-Dos!

Written by Jaelen Patrick. Published: June 30 2022

 

Summer is here and it seems like it’s already flying by! With so much to do in so little time, it’s super important that you create a Summer Bucket List so that you can fully take advantage of the season! So, here are a few things that you can add to your bucket list this summer!

 

1. Go Night Swimming

Going swimming during the Summer is an obvious go-to move, but have you ever thought about swimming at night? Those hot Summer days eventually turn into warm summer nights, so try taking a dive one night under the stars.

 

2. See a Drive-In Movie

Drive-ins made a big comeback during the pandemic and it looks like the retro trend is here to stay, so switch things up a bit and head to a drive-in movie theater! Grab some snacks, blankets, and a friend to watch a movie from the comfort of your own car!

 

3. Paint a Tote Bag

Tote bags are totally in, so why not create your own?! After collecting paint and brushes from your local craft store, let your imagination run wild as you design your own personalized tote bag!

4. Visit a Rage Room

Feeling stressed, tense, or even enraged? Well, blow off a little steam at your local rage room where smashing appliances and furnishings is acceptable!

5. Watch The Sunrise

Ever thought about beating the sun to its own job? Waking up early might not sound the most appealing, but once you set your eyes on that beautiful morning sun, it’ll all be worth it.

 

6. Get Back Into Reading

With all this time on your hands, why wouldn’t you want to get back into reading? Head to your local bookstore, browse a bit, and pick out a few reads that seem the most appealing to you. Whether in the park or by the pool, pull out that book and begin your journey back into reading!

 

7. Have a Picnic In The Park

Lately, picnics have been trending like crazy! Whether it be a painting picnic, a rainbow picnic, or tea party-themed picnic, gather some friends, and some food of course, and give it a go!

8. Visit an Escape Room

Release your inner detective and visit an escape room with a few friends! Alongside your team, you will be locked in a room where you are tasked to find clues, solve puzzles, and decode riddles to “escape” within the given amount of time.

 

9. Become a Plant Mom

Now more than ever is the perfect time to become that plant parent you’ve always wanted to be! With more time, and more sun, taking care of a few plants doesn’t seem so far-fetched.

 

10. Go On a Spontaneous Road Trip

Booking flights can get expensive, so why not pack up your things and hit the road?! With the company of a few friends, a vacation that’s unplanned could easily be the best vacation ever.

 

Happy Summer!
