A Look Back at My Summer Bucket List

August 12th 2018

Taking a look back at the past few months and seeing the memories I’ve made~

So August is the official end of summer for me and it is time for me to go full fall mode on everything, so I have decided before I do, I will take a look back on the memories of summer and see how much I have accomplished that I set out to accomplish this summer in my Summer Bucket List 2018:

Spend more time outside- I think I totally nailed this one. I spent my summer taking long walks at work, nature walks with my family and my boyfriend, and just spent more time enjoying the outdoors whenever possible. I can honestly say that nature makes me so much happier than laying in bed all day.
Go to a Carnival or Street Fair- I did go to one carnival this summer and I went to a street fair during NYC Pride. Overall, I think that carnivals are beautiful and the epitome of summertime fun!
Do something creative daily- I’d like to believe I did this one too, despite not keeping heavy track of my creative endeavors! I spent a lot of time writing this summer as well as spending time exploring nature and thinking of new fun things to do.
Say yes more- This summer I learned to say “yes” to more and I am also proud to say I have learned to say “no” which is something I didn’t really know I needed. I learned to say yes to new opportunities to create memories even outside my comfort zone, but I also learned to say no when I needed a break or to save money.
Stay dedicated to working out and eating right- I am so proud of myself for this because this summer I was working out consistently, eating right, and lost quite a few pounds. I don’t plan to quit here and I definitely want to see even bigger changes in the near future!
Take a trip or two- I didn’t travel nearly as much as I would have liked to, but I do get to take a trip soon and I have a few good ideas for the fall that I would really like to see come into reality. I can’t say I missed traveling too much because I was super busy back at home so I feel like adding trips just wasn’t possible up until this point.
Get more concert tickets- I didn’t purchase concert tickets, but I did get tickets to see Dan & Phil (YouTubers) on tour and that was a cute experience. No one I am really interested in seeing is out on tour. Also, ever since the Taylor Swift concert I went to a few weeks ago, I’ve been dead tired, so I could use a break.
Go to the Lavender Fields- I really enjoyed the lavender field with my friend Michaella! We got some really cute pictures and I wrote about it all in Exploring Home: Out East and Fashion Friday: Lavender Field OOTD!
Record a video- I am still a weenie and didn’t get this done. Maybe one day.
Go to the psychic- I went with my dad last month! If you want to read more, check out my post, What My Psychic Said…!

Overall, I am proud of how much I accomplished this summer and can’t wait to see how many more memories I can make for the rest of the year! What was your favorite memory of the summer?
