I turned in my last final exam, looked at the time, and saw it’s summertime! For the next three months, I will be home, out in the warm weather, and enjoying my summer. Here are some things I know I am most looking forward to.

Kayaking

I am so looking forward to kayaking on the lovely rivers of Massachusetts. I have been wanting to do this for a long time now, and there is truly something special about paddling through the Charles River. It is such a beautiful sight to see. I feel free whenever I am boating, and I am so excited to go kayaking this summer!

Making a summer bucket list

This will be the first step when I get home! I plan to have some friends over, go outside on a picnic blanket, and decorate summer bucket lists. I get to lay out all of my lovely summer plans in the gorgeous spring weather and enjoy the company of my friends!

Bracelet making

A summer classic, I love making bracelets during the summertime! Particularly, I enjoy learning new bracelet patterns every year, and these small bracelets turn into amazing memories and beautiful bracelets on my wrist.

Going to the beach

I am so excited to go to the beach! I love the gorgeous sun, and there is nothing like reading novels on the beach! Plus, it’s a beautiful, picturesque scene, and I am excited to relax on the sand.

Baking

Bake whatever you want! Cookies, cake, you name it. I’m looking forward to baking cookies at home this summer.

Making a flower bouquet

Go to Trader Joe’s, get some flowers, and then make your own bouquet from them! It is so beautiful and such a fun activity to do with friends!

With these things, as well as many more, I am so excited to spend my summer having fun and enjoying myself. 

Wishing everyone a fun and relaxing summer!
