It’s April and summer is just around the corner! (Can you believe it?) Time flies by so quickly, so it’s important to always make the most of things. You only have a limited amount of summer breaks so try to make this summer memorable, no matter what you might be doing. A fun thing to do might be making a summer bucket list by writing down a list of things, trying to complete it all, and documenting your trials with pictures in a scrapbook or on Instagram! Here are a few suggestions to add to your summer bucket list for 2014!
1. Go a whole day without any technology.
2. Have an all-day, all-night PJ movie day with friends (chick-flick or Disney movie marathon anyone?!).
3. Go to a concert.
4. Take a road trip (even if it is just to a new town for a day!).
5. BEACH!!!
6. Try out a “Wreck-This Journal” – a journal that brings out your creativity by telling you to do something on each page and you interpret it how you’d like.
7. Watch and do a Bethany Mota YouTube tutorial (there are great bow-making, outfits, and makeup ones!).
8. Read a John Green book – (my favorite is “The Fault In Our Stars”) Or just read any good book you’ve heard about.
9. Get a sun-tattoo.
10. Go to a drive-in movie theatre.
