Summer To-Do List

I know Summer officially started on June 21st, but as far as I'm concerned, it's been a month and a half since I got done with uni for the year. I have just exactly half of my vacation time left before I have to go back to the same old routine of crazy class schedule/ numerous part time jobs/ internship and a good ole dose of stress. I am determined to have a good summer and so far I have, but I want to make it better, so I wrote up a  Summer To-Do List! I live in a tiny college town in the Midwest and don't have a lot of moolah to go traveling, which is what I would really love to do! But the little things count too and I want to make the most of it. I probably won't be able to do everything, but it's good to know I have options! Most of these activities can be things to do by yourself or even better - with friends and loved ones :)

    My favorites pics on this are "Jump in a pool with your clothes on!", "Dance in the rain!", "Go skinny dipping in a lake in the middle of the night!" I'm happy and proud to say I've done all three... and in fact I think I'll jump in the pool in my clothes after writing this - WOO HOO!!! =D
