Summer 2015 Bucket List
Hi hi!
On Tuesday, I had a girls day with my friend, Heidi. She's one of my first friends since entering university. We decided to grab lunch and do a little bit of shopping. It was nice being able to talk, hang out, catch up, and shop. Afterwards, I made my way to one of my favorite coffee shops by my house and decided to journal for a bit. I forgot my earphones at home, and not having my earphones with me made my regular visit such a different experience! I was surrounded with people conversing, reading, and listening to music. I had nothing to focus on other than the words I was writing in my journal. That being said, I was able to write about what the next part is going to be about. (:
I want to start the next part of this post by explaining what has been happening the last couple of months: I've spent the last six months, applying for internships in New York. I've also been contacting people on Craigslist to sublet their rooms. However, after six months of applications and emails, turns out that I'm not going after all. I'll admit, I'm quite upset about my change of plans. I put in a lot of time and effort in my applications and looking for rooms to sublet. Since I'll be staying in L.A., I'm going to be applying for internships around the area instead. However, because It didn't work out the way I hoped it to, I now have three months of no classes and quite a lot of time on my hands.
When I realized that I won't be spending my three-month summer vacation in New York like I thought I would, I wanted to do something that I can post about, at the same time, make my summer fun. I've taken the time to think of activities I want to accomplish this summer and began making a list. As I was writing down the things I wanted to do, it hit me. I'm going to make a Summer 2015 Bucket List. Here it is:

This bucket list began as a small idea because I wanted to start a summer series here on my blog. I wanted my summer series to centralize my blog posts for the duration of summer around summer activities, while also incorporating fashion and music into the posts. This summer series will allow me to write about my summer. Some things on the lists are things I've always done over the summer, but this list also includes new activities for me to do/try. This list is not definite, nor is it close to being complete. I've shared my thoughts to a few people and some of my friends have helped me add things onto the list. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
Lastly, I want to give a BIG shoutout to my best friend!! She's currently in Vegas so I can't say this to her in person… HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY! I've known her since we were in the seventh grade. We had leadership class together and we've been friends ever since. She's one of the most generous, selfless, and loving people I know. And today, she turns 21!! WHOOOO!
I'm still not 100% sure about how I'm going to write these posts or what I'm going to call the series. I'm still trying to process my idea but that's what I have so far. Today, I wanted to write share my idea with you all since the first official day of summer is this weekend. What are you doing for the first day of summer/Father's Day? I'm going to be doing something this weekend so I'll probably won't be able to publish another post until Monday. Have a great weekend!
