With the speed of our modern lives, it is becoming so easy to forget to enjoy the small moments, as well as the more noteworthy ones. I find myself getting swept away in day to day life and for that reason I am making a summer pledge to just get out there and live! I have decided to put together a list of 10 things, minor and more adventurous, that I aim to get out and do this summer! So here goes...
1) Stargaze: this is something that I've always wanted to do and it's too simple to not do! I'm planning on finding the tallest hill possible, laying a blanket out, and just watching... it's the simple things!
2) Visit new places: I feel that this one is quite general but for me, this simply means putting the old go-to exploring spots aside in favour of new ones!
3) Get back into running: before my exams started, I ran at least twice a week for a few months and for some reason, I've fallen out of the habit, despite enjoying it so much- now the weather is looking brighter, I have no excuse!
4) Be more daring with fashion: despite my love for fashion and keeping up to date, often I find myself within my comfort zone when it comes to my own clothes. I am trying to change this and incorporate more prints and colours into my wardrobe that are a little more 'out there'!
5) Read lots: I want to read everything this summer, from Jane Austen to Nicholas Sparks and from fashion magasines to fiction!
6) Develop my French: I am so excited for this one! I love languages and hope I can spend this summer working on improving my language skills- if anyone has any tips, let me know!
7) Go camping: I haven't been camping for years and I always had a slight love-hate relationship with it as a child but for the past few months, I've really been wanting to go!
8) Try and make some decisions: the main one is going to be revolved around my future and what I want to do with it... my current train of thought is to study French and English at university after my gap year but this could well change!
9) Find some interesting countries and areas that I want to travel to: I have a mental list of about 20 places I want to see currently but I definitely need to research this further!
10) Continue blogging: this may be the most exciting one for me because I have read blogs and watched YouTube for over 4 years and have always wanted to get involved. I feel that now is the time for that!
I really enjoyed creating this list and I'm sure there will be more to add to this! I will keep you updated with my progress with these and I would love it if you made your summer bucket-list; I may be able to steal some ideas!!
Thank you for reading...
