My Summer Bucket List!

A bucket list is always something I've wanted to write, however I'm one of those people that when it comes to sit down and writing something my mind goes completely blank! Once I saw this post on EmTalks blog, it was a definite idea! This post has actually been drafted for a few weeks while I have been trying to think of some more things to achieve this summer and might possibly be a part 2!

I am starting with the idea of achieving certain things each season, with the idea it is going to make me a more exciting adventurous person and hopefully by the end of summer, after completing (hopefully) ambitions I will be a more confident, happy person!

I don't know about you but my summer starts at unfortunately the end of July - in my opinion it is too late! Meaning I have the whole of August to spend with my family & friends.

I always go on a family holiday every summer to Spain, as my family own an apartment out there and sometimes we venture to other places too hehe! Usually we spend the whole of the 6 weeks holiday in Spain, however this year we are only going for 2 weeks - giving me more time to complete my goals. However there are a few goals I would like to achieve in Spain...

GO FOR A RUN OR BIKE RIDE TO THE BEACH/MARINA AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK!

Understandably I will probably not be able to do this everyday, as it is my holiday as well, however there's such a lovely scenery and rather not getting out of bed until 2 o'clock and spending the rest of the day down by the pool, I know this will give me a fresh, clear mind to start my holiday every morning!

SWIM!

Swimming is something I r a r e l y ever do apart from in Spain, and I aim to swim at least 25 laps of the pool everyday, as again I can then relax in the sun, knowing that I have done some form of exercise to make me feel good!

TRY MORE FOODS!

My friends would know I am s u c h a picky person, and if it is not toast, or a specific type of pasta, I probably wont eat it! This is a general summer goal that doesn't just apply in Spain, however as we go to a lot of different restaurants, I will try my best to try something new every time we go out for a meal! For people that know me well this is a big commitment - something I will be very proud of if I achieve it haha!

 

TAKE MORE PHOTOS & PRINT THEM

Another general goal is to take so many pictures of my summer to literally overflow my camera roll! I also need to print them off a swell, so that I can capture all of my favourite memories and moments!

When in the U.K my summer bucket list is...

GO CAMPING!

A lot of my friends find it hard to believe that I have never been camping before! This is something completely different but I really hope I can try it out - by the time you are reading this I have actually just come back from Haven Caravan Park for the weekend with my best friend Bronwyn & our families, and it was absolutely amazing! I had the best time (post coming soon), however I'm not sure if a caravan counts?

SEE MORE OF THE U.K

This is kind of a strange one, however I am am hoping to travel around a bit of the U.K, as its actually something I've never really done before - I haven't been to many places! I'm heading down to Brighton for a week, just to stay in my Nan&Grandads beautiful holiday apartment that overlooks the beach! I'm so excited as Brighton is literally one of my favourite places and there are so many great scenarys for photo opportunities;)

SEE MORE FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

This is quite self explanatory but I have a very large family on both my mum and dads side, that usually I cant really help seeing a lot of the time and a lot of my family live in Ireland and further away from me, however I can definitely make more of an effort to see more of my immediate family throughout the summer.

BLOG MORE!

Since making the pledge that I would post everyday during my half term really made me serious about blogging! Most of my half term was filled up with writing posts and it's something I really enjoyed! I've always loved writing my blog but sometimes has been harder than others however I'm on a real high at the moment and although I cant promise to post everyday as I'm still in full time education and don't necessarily have the time - expect at lost more, and exciting posts! Starting my blog is possibly one of the best thing I have ever done (deeepp), and I really hope I will continue blogging for a long time!

Love
