Summer Must-Do’s

By Cat Kemp

With this summer as my last before a whirlwind of new adventures, I plan to make it good. So, I’ve compiled a list of everything I hope to achieve before August 18 when my life is forever changed: I go to college. Two trips are currently planned: Cabo in early summer with all of my friends and Tahoe for a Fourth of July tradition with my closest friends. But, as this is my final hoorah with people who have changed my life, I needed guidelines to ensure maximum memories and experiences. 

  1. See as many sunsets as possible.
  2. Tell my parents how grateful I am for all they’ve done for me.
  3. Go to the beach whenever I can.
  4. Work (and save).
  5. Go snorkeling.
  6. Read the books on my “To be Read” list.
  7. Buy a keychain for every new city visited.
  8. Help my sister move into her first apartment.
  9. Stay in the moment.
  10. Binge watch Bridgerton.
  11. Find cute dorm decor.
  12. Explore new hobbies.
  13. Hike Mission Peak.
  14. Get another piercing.
  15. Buy a college wardrobe.
