BEFORE THE SUMMER ENDS
It's that Sunday night feeling—you know, the weekend is over and the next day is...Monday, which starts the dreaded work week. That's how anxious I feel about Autumn, which is fast approaching us.
And there we go, yet again, another summer flies by. In fact, it will be coming to an end in less than a month.
Does anyone feel like the older you get, the faster the time goes? And now the end-of-summer depression begins...
With autumn officially making its appearance on September 22, our summer lovin' will soon be a nothin' and I am starting to feel like I need to soak up as much sun as I possibly can.
I don't know about you, but summer isn't like it used to be. I remember looking forward to actually having a break from school and activities. Now, there are no breaks, just days that stay lighter longer.
Although I am still denying that summer is coming to an end, I am starting to realize the only to do list I have completed are things for work.
So, I have created a bucket list for summer for the last-minute hurrahs I have in order to celebrate summer 2016. Here are 30 things to do before the end of summer:
1. Go to a Farmers Market and pick out fresh fruit and flowers.
2. Go zip lining.
3. Watch the sunset from beginning to end.
4. Bake homemade bread.
5. Have a fun outdoor photoshoot.
6. Go on a bike ride (haven't been on one in forever).
7. Sit on the beach at Caesar's Creek and read a book.
8. Go stargazing and document it (not just stare at the stars).
9. Have dinner on Vine Street in Cincinnati.
10. Attend a wine tasting.
11. Make a variety of quinoa salads (mainly because I am obsessed with them).
12. Finish reading my books (ugh, I hate that I haven't made time to finish reading them).
13. Take a road trip to Indianapolis (or anywhere really).
14. Go to the Cincinnati Art Museum.
15. Visit a zoo or botanical garden.
16. Play putt putt golf.
17. Make this sangria.
18. Go to a drive-in movie theater.
19. Open the windows during a storm and listen to the rain.
20. Make my own pottery piece and take a painting class.
21. Create my own ice cream sandwich like this.
22. Practice braiding my hair because I am tired of wearing my hair down or in a ponytail.
23. Make homemade sushi.
24. Enter my writing in online publications and start making videos (surprise! get ready for more content).
25. De-clutterize my apartment (and life).
26. Create a morning routine that will carry into fall.
27. Drink more water.
28. Make a DIY face mask and sugar scrub.
29. Create more! Crafting is essential.
30. Start journaling regularly (because when life gets hectic it's harder to remember moments).
