The Ultimate Summer Bucket List

The summer holidays are finally here and my goodness do I need them! I feel like this 6 week holiday is much deserved after all the hard work that came with the start of my A-levels and so I couldn't be happier that they're finally here!

 

As much anticipated at it has been, now it's started, I struggle to know how to spend my time. We all do it - plan to go out every single day but end up staying inside for 6 weeks, curled up in bed scrolling through Instagram, admiring everyone else's exciting summers and wasting our own. But not this time! I have compiled a list of some of the best ways to spend your summer break so that you can finally get out and make the most of this much anticipated break!
So I present to you:

So far this summer I've done 9 of these already: Bike ride, baked cakes, baked cookies, cinema, (finding dory is awesome! I recommend!) beach, arcades, pokémon hunting, (yes, I'm obsessed) fed the ducks, had a picnic. They're all inexpensive so I've managed to keep myself busy so far and still have some money to do more! What have you been up to this summer? Let me know in the comments down below!

 

I hope you have a great day, and if it's your birthday, happy birthday!
