OKAY so here's the deal...I was thinking of what I was going to post this week, and the thought came to mind that YES summer is practically here in full swing and if I had wanted to set a bucket list for this summer I probably should have done that last month :)) BUT nevertheless I thought it would be fun to compile... you know like a list of ideas of fun stuff to do in the summer and see what all I could cross off. Because why not, right? xD So basically this post is a list of things to do in the summer and stuff I want to do this summer? tbh I honestly did already do some "summer" things already (it's almost the end of June like wut), but still. HENCE THIS POST.
If you've been around long enough you probably remember that I've done a post similar to this for the last two years (oh my goodness that's a long time wooow), so I guess it's kind of like tradition now? Eh...BUT I went back and looked over the list I had last year, you know, just because I'm writing this post now and WOW. My goal last year was to have a perfect garden, y'all. :P Like that...ever...happens. *cough* And also to be fair with my last-year-self, macarons are hard to make and you definitely don't have time to make them :))

SO THERE YA GO. That's literally 50 ideas for when if you get bored this summer :P I'll probably refer back to this once and awhile to see if there's anything I feel like doing (because I already did do a 1/4 of these probably), but it was fun just trying to come up with a whole bunch of "summer" themed activities, y'know? What do you all like to do in the summer? Are you pretty busy? It seems like so many of my friends have jobs and stuff now, so they don't always have a lot of free time in the summer. BUT GUYS. It's worth it to make time every now and then for the little things :) They're important. What are some more things I should add to this list? (Because I know I didn't get everything xD)

Super cool list Autumn! These sound super fun. :)
ReplyDeleteEEEP thank you Nabila! Hopefully you try some out :)
DeleteLove the list!! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Yanni :)
DeleteThanks Autumn, I'll keep this summer list in mind when winter is over (sigh Australia). Wow, I literally incorporated three seasons into that sentence. I think my absolute favourite would have to be playing tennis with my friends and the ice rink, because I love, love doing those things. <3 Some solid ideas you have there!
ReplyDeleteHAHA I FEEL YOU. Winter isn't the best, but hey, you make do with what you got :) YES I WANT TO PLAY TENNIS SO BAD. Skating is also the bomb <3 I know that personally because I've been taking figure skating recently, and it truly is a blessing :)
DeleteThis is such a fabulous list! I actually just sent some snail mail the other day :) this summer, I want to finish one of my books, volunteer a lot, and binge some anime in preparation for attending a July convention.

AAHH GO YOU, ELLIE! You got this! Writing is the best thing ever. Sounds like you're going to have a great summer :)
DeleteI too would also like to send the snail mail! <-- I recently watched Home and I've been speaking like O (the main character in the movie). You have such great summer goals-- just breathe is one of my list too-- you're list is like fabulously, by the way. :D
ReplyDeletexoxo Abigail Lennah | ups & downs
YES YOU GOTTA DO IT ABBY. I've never done it, but I really'd like to. Haha!!! I know how that goes xD OMG THANK YOU GIRL <3 You're so sweet.
Delete"see how late you can sleep in
ReplyDeletesee how early you can get up" I love that you have both of these :)
What books are on your TBR list?
teensliveforjesus.blogspot.com
Haha, thanks! I'm glad someone noticed that. In my opinion, they're both really important.
DeleteWell, I don't really have a TBR list. I really just read whatever looks good and/or whatever I'm interested in at present. Honestly I haven't been reading a ton lately, so I couldn't say! Do you have any recommendations?
Have you read "Like Moonlight at Low Tide" by Nicole Quigley? She does such a good job about discussing serious topics while still showing God's light.
DeleteFor non-fiction, I absolutely loved "God's Smuggler!" It was so weird, because I usually read fiction, but I fell in love with this book.

I love this list!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jolly!
DeleteThis is so cool! I love the list Autumn! <3 A lot of those things are currently on my summer bucket list :) Except I kind of do a reverse bucket list where I try to do as much as I can and then I write it down. :)
ReplyDeleteAnna - www.worldthroughherheart.blogspot.com
YAY THANK YOU SO MUCH ANNA <33 Oooh, I hope you can accomplish all of your goals! That's such a good idea! I actually did a post on that before. A reverse bucket list. It's such a good idea to see what all you ACTUALLY do in the summertime.
DeleteThis is such a lovely post, Autumn <3
ReplyDeleteAww you're the greatest, Grace Anne :)
DeleteI love these ideas <3 Especially making lemonade + dancing in the rain.
ReplyDeleteMMM YES THAT JUST GIVES ALLLL THE SUMMERY VIBES.
DeleteThese are all so awesome Autumn!
ReplyDeleteHaha thank you so much, Hannah :) Thanks for reading!
DeleteAwesome list! Looking forward to seeing how many you cross off!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited too! It'll be interesting to see what all I get done that I actually didn't even try doing on purpose xD
DeleteOoooh these are such good ideas!! I did a post like this too, summer bucket list sort of thing ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading!! I'll have to check your post out!
DeleteDUDE STOP INSPIRING ME I DON'T FEEL LIKE HAVING THE TIME TO DO ALL OF THIS. *laughs brightly* my home days are lazy days, and i should spice them up. ;) so thank you. gonna work on some of these when i need 'em. x
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA WELL WHAT CAN I SAY :')) (also 'laughs brightly' is such a good description like wow yes) YES it seems that most days I'm just wayyyy too lazy for good so I need to work on that too xD
DeleteI should take these summer-y ideas, and see how many I can do this winter. (Yes, I know what you're talking about Jo - Australia isn't giving summer vibes at present.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, all the best for your summer, and I hope you do a follow up post and share your adventures and all the meaningful little things! :)
THERE YOU GO! That's a brilliant idea. Haha, hang in there, my Australia friends!! (On a side note, it's so incredible that I know two people from Australia?!?!?! Like that's halfway across the world from me yet I know y'all :) that's so special!)
DeleteOooh thank you so much, Jessica <3 Your comments are always so thoughtful. I hope your winter goes splendidly and even though it's not summer you have a wonderful winter!
...What is a perfect garden? :P That's something I'd like to see.
ReplyDeleteThis list sounds so fun! Unfortunately, I work a lot, but I so need to purposefully do some of these little things to remember why life is so special.
AGREED 100 PERCENTO. I honestly don't think anyone (except some superhuman people) can maintain a perfect, flawless, weed-free flowerbed and/or garden. IT'S TOO MUCH.
DeleteAh, yes, that is a problem :) But I'm sure you'll have a wonderful summer regardless, Meaghan! (By the way, I love how your name is spelled!)
This post really put me in a good mood! I need to start making summer plans! :)
