Last week I posted my bucket list of things I wish to do before I’m 30 – you can read that here. It’s now June and it’s not getting dark until around 9:30 and we’re brave enough to pretend it’s not still cold outside so that definitely means summer is upon us.
Making lavish trips abroad is a summer goal for most of us but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. That doesn’t mean you have to spend your summer days fake liking everyone else’s holiday photos on Instagram though. There are plenty of summery things you can do, most of which are right on your doorstep.
Check out these 10 must do’s for this years summer:
Do something alone – Friends are cool and that but sometimes you just can’t be bothered to listen to Susie who won’t stop going on about how hard it’s been since her sister died. Can you really afford to waste the sunshine making sure Susie is ok? I mean she is a mate but there’s a time and a place to be needy and summer isn’t it. You don’t need that sort of negativity in your life right now.
Drink cocktails – Because no annoying summer fling started with a glass of water did it?!
Travel the country – If you’re spending the summer in the UK you can still at least hop in the car and spend the weekend somewhere different. There’s nothing wrong with getting banned from one club and driving 100 miles the next day and getting banned from another one. Variety is the spice of life you know.
Go on a bike ride – Nothing says “Caitlyn you need to lose 10lbs mate” more than a gruelling up hill bike ride with lunch provided for everyone except Caitlyn.
Read a new book – If you’re going to damage your skin you might as do it because you got to a juicy part of ‘Confessions of a Bournemouth Whore’ and forgot to put your sun cream on.
Visit a summer fete – Knowing that you’re down on money you can scour out which old lady is making it rain over on the cake stand and snatch her purse whilst she’s tasting the rewards of her generosity.
Do a day session in someone’s garden – If you fall into the BBQ or choke on a sausage at least you know you went with all your friends by your side and essentially that’s all that matters.
Visit The New Forest – Your Facebook updates of vodka shots and strippers will be balanced out with a mature, artsy trip deep into the forest.
Train – There’s going to be at least 5 better looking people than you at the bar so if you can impress them with how much you bench at least there’s a small chance of you pulling one of them. Who cares if they’re the same sex as you and you’re not gay? So moany.
