Summ12r

A lot of things are different this summer. I have officially graduated from high school, and I am heading off to college in the fall. I will be turning 18, of legal adult age to be... an adult, which is scary to me. I have a boyfriend, for the first time in years, and this one isn't a loser at all. He's my partner in crime, and has a bit of adventure in him, too. And, unlike all of the other years, I have both the motivation and time to get all of my things on my summer list done. So, here it is, in a draft form, my list of things to do in less than 3 months.

1. Worship Bon Iver from afar (I had planned on seeing them in concert, but due to some circumstances, like age/location/lack of money, I can't do that. Maybe next summer...)
2. Dye my hair with Kool-Aid (maybe just dip-dye, red)
3. Go to Danville, KY again (for my last summer program's reunion- this one will occur)
4. Make a terrarium
5. Learn how to make friendship bracelets
6. Go to the beach, A LOT (I plan on doing this when we go on vacation)
7. Get a sweet tan
8. Hike my hill
9. Make RC floats with friends
10. Make a rainy day into an ALL DAY movie day
11. Go to Forecastle!
12. Watch several of Dylan's baseball games
13. Go to a flea market, and find precious things for cheap
14. Make a pillow/blanket fort
15. Have a picnic
16. Make s'mores
17. Go barefoot for a week
18. Experiment with strawberries (or at least eat them a lot)
19. Bob for apples
20. Go to at least one of the Cincinnati Observatory "parties" at night
21. Visit the Carmi, Illinois movie theater
22. Sing in front of people (okay, maybe just Ryan or Dirk haha)
23. Put oldies on my iPod
24. See a play put on by a local company
25. Make my major concern in life to be pleasure
26. Learn how to make sweet tea from the master
27. Buy a pet fish for college
28. Go to the drive-in movie theater up in Ohio
29. Collect earrings and bracelets
30. Write in my journal- poetry, stories, lists- and blog more often
31. Wake up real early and watch the sun come up one day
32. Go to the art museum
33. Throw a birthday party, or just a regular, no-occasion party
34. Experiment with new clothing styles
35. Take more photographs
36. Eat more fruits
37. Get all of my things ready for college
38. Overall just experiment with my creative outlets
39. Try to spend less time on the computer and my iPhone
40. Leave special messages in books
41. Read for fun
42. Be happy :D

So, that's my list for now. There might be some additions, some... subtractions. It's flexible, it's lovable, and it's mine.

Catch you all later,

Mack.
