My summer bucket list

Instead of studying for exams, I have been procrastinating by creating a Summer bucket list. And while I highly advise you to not procrastinate and do your homework, planning activities to do over Summer is a lot of fun.

We have nearly four months of Summer holidays before having to pick up another textbook, so there is plenty of time to finally live out your dream Summer. And whether it’s going out and spending money on a fun activity, or just hanging with friends and not spending much at all, I’m sure something on this list will spark your interest for something to do in the next few months.

  • Beach day: Of course this is at the top of the list, you can’t go through Summer without going to the beach at least once. Bring a picnic blanket, card games, and snacks, and make sure you’ve got sunscreen! Even if you don’t like swimming in the ocean, there are so many other beach activities, like reading by the waves, playing volleyball, or eating ice-cream.
  • DIY: I have seen so many do-it-yourself TikToks recently that have inspired my creativity. Whether it's making your own smoothies, ice-cream, friendship bracelets or painting pottery; I want to light up the right side of my brain and make something from scratch this Summer.
  • Movie and games nights: Binge-watching movies while stuffing your face with snacks and causing fights over Uno is always very chaotic.
  • Strawberry picking: In Hahndorf you can visit Beerenberg farm and pick your own strawberries. I went last year during the Summer and it was so much fun! The strawberries are also very ripe, bright in colour, and perfection to eat with chocolate sauce.
  • Flower field: There are many flower fields in South Australia, and you can pick your own bouquet of flowers at some! This is such a great location to take cute photos or have a picnic and catch up with friends.

Hopefully you can find one thing to do this Summer on this list. And if not, I have also written a post of '10 things to do when you are bored', which you can check out below.
