35 Summer Bucket List Ideas


We're in the heat of the summer and it's the best time of the year! Making lists is in my nature and I know that applies for a lot of us, so why not make a summer bucket list?! It's a great way to hold yourself accountable to get out and DO things, and it's also a great feeling to cross things off the list. Here's some of the things on my bucket list this year; clearly I make lofty goals for myself! ;) Make this summer the best one yet, check out what you'd add to your list:

1. Make homemade ice cream

2. Go to a concert

3. Learn something new you've been dying to learn

4. Take a road trip

5. Take a social media break

6. Try a new style trend

7. Have a beach bonfire

8. Spend a day at the beach; sunrise to sunset (but keep your skin healthy!)

9. Organize your closet and donate items

10. Take a European road trip

11. Invest in a product you've been eyeing/saving for

12. Spend as much time outside as possible in a day

13. Attend a summer matinee (dying to see Anastasia!)

  11. This is a great summer bucket list! I hope to make homemade ice cream next week while camping. Another great thing to add to the bucket list would be to go to a water park. :) I am going to one next week.
