Unstoppable Summer: Must-Do Adventures Before I Move Away

Alright guys, here is my list for the best summer of my life so far!! My goal is to make the most of this summer in as many ways as possible. I'm gonna need your help on some of these, so if you want to join in, let's do it!! Keep me accountable, people!

Disclaimer: I have not included the things that are already "givens" for the summer, such as spending extra time with my parents/family, going to the barn every week, and working. So, Mom, in case you were worried that I forgot about you (which I NEVER could!), you and I are already booked!!!

 

1. Go on a one-on-one adventure with a different friend each month (June, July, August).

2. Go on dates with my sister at least once each month.

3. Try a new fruit and a new vegetable that will broaden my healthy-eating horizons.

4. Last an entire day without eating anything processed, packaged, or not in its whole form.

5. Learn a new song on the piano.

6. Lay in the sun and read for a whole day (with sunscreen of course!).

7. Choose one person in my life to pray for everyday, and make a point of talking with them about their life once a week.

8. Go to the quarries and jump of the cliffs into the swimming hole.

9. Take a road trip to some other state (other than Indiana, since I'm moving there!).

10. Read at least 5 books on the all-time classics list.

11. Volunteer somewhere at least once each month.

12. Celebrate Christmas in July, even send cards to my close friends!

15. Make a new friend and keep in touch with them after I move.

25. Write a research paper just for the fun of it.

26. Go see multiple movies in a row at the theater (at matinee prices, of course!). Even better - go to a drive-in movie!!
