Only. Ten. Days. Left. 

WHAT?! 

This year has truly flown by and I can’t believe we are heading into the summer. While I know you all will miss the early bus rides and morning announcements, it’s time to get summer planning! Sunbathing is always a great go-to, but let’s spice it up a bit! I’ve compiled a list of fun and out-of-the-box bucket list ideas. 

MARYMOUNT BUCKET LIST: 

  1. Finish Personal Statement for College Applications
    1. JUST KIDDING! 
  2. Take a road trip with friends 
  3. Drive somewhere new and hike
  4. Bake something that you’ve never heard of 
  5. Go camping in your backyard! 
  6. Go to a garage sale and turn the things you bought into a cool invention 
  7. Stay out late and stargaze 
  8. Have a bonfire with your friends
  9. READ!! 
  10. Pretend to be a tourist in LA 
  11. Light fireworks (legally, of course) 
  12. Drive to a flower field and pick a bouquet 
  13. Host a watermelon eating contest! 
  14. Grow an avocado tree 
  15. Watch all 8 Harry Potter movies in 24 hours 
  16. Go on a hot air balloon ride
  17. GO SKYDIVING! 
  18. Stay off your phone for a week 
  19. Plan a random surprise party for your loved ones 
  20. Make oat milk for those lattes from scratch 
  21. Tie-Dye your uniform (JK, but some socks for blazer dress might be cool!) 
  22. Combine shirts from your childhood to make a quilt
  23. Pretend like you are lost, and ask someone for directions then do the opposite thing they tell you to do 🙂 
  24. Do a summer photoshoot with friends 
  25. Make and fly a kite 
  26. Get into a water gun fight with your parents (sorry Mom & Dad)
  27. Make homemade popsicles…YUM 
  28. Make a fort in the living room (sorry again Mom & Dad) 
  29. Dye your hair! 
  30. Take a light night swim in the ocean

These are only some of the fun things you can do this summer before next year, but if you do enough research, you can find 30 more! I encourage you all to take risks and try new things, but also, take this time to focus on yourself and prepare your mind and body for the next school year. We have worked incredibly hard this past year and, no matter the GPA or grade on your transcript, you have a clean slate for next year! Don’t ruminate on this past year’s experiences, and focus your energy on fun, summertime things that bring you joy and relaxation! 

Can’t wait to see you all in the fall. This year has been amazing. <3
