Summer Bucket List Revisited

Heyyyyya diamonds!

Summer is basically over…which means it’s time to revisit my bucket list. I don’t exactly think I did very well, but I’ll try to make this entertaining.

I think I looked over this list maybe once? But I really don’t know what’s on it. I feel like I only got like, 1-2 things done. Anyway, let’s react!

Item 1: Go to the Beach

*HALF CHECK*

I did not go to the beach. BUT, I will be going in tht fall! So, I will? That’s why I get a half check.

Since I’ve never really been, I’m going to need you guys to comment your best beach tips. I’ll need all the help I can get.

Item 2: Read

*CHECK*

I kinda did? I definitely didn’t read as much as I wanted to. Again, my goal is 100 books, and I’m really behind. But, at least I really enjoyed the books that I did read. I think I read about 15 books over the past three months…so definitely not as many as I wanted.

Item 3: Read for 24 hours

*EPIC FAIL*

Okay, so one day I went on a car trip. It was a 12 hour car trip, so I thought…perfect timing! Then, the night before we left, the fire alarm went off and it was a whole ordeal that night. More on that later, but long story short everyone’s fine.

Needless to say, I was too tired to read the next day.

this photo looks cold…very much the opposite of summer. i don’t know why i chose it.

Item 4: Attend camp

*CHECK*

Yup! I had a great time.

Item 5: Make videos

*HALF CHECK*

I made…a video. It was the intro to my sitcom.

Item 6: Write in my novel

*EPIC FAIL*

Nope, nada.

Item 7: Write for 24 hours

*EPIC FAIL*

Didn’t even try….

Item 8: Write a new short story

*EPIC FAIL*

Are we surprised at this point?

Item 9: Camp Happy Heart

*CHECK*

I think this was a huge success! I didn’t miss a single day.

Item 10: More Saturday posts

*CHECK*

Sure. I’m kinda giving myself this because I’m not doing too great on all the other stuff. But anyway, I posted on 5/13 Saturdays.

Item 11: Sitcom

*CHECK*

I wrote episode one of my sitcom! It hasn’t been published yet, but it will be soon!

Item 12: Work on my photoseries’s

*HALF CHECK*

I didn’t do the things I said I was going to do…BUT, I did work on 2 photoseries’s! So I’m counting this as a win! (kinda)

Item 13: Drive

*EPIC FAIL*

I went like literally two months without driving. I missed it! And I didn’t drive on the interstate at all like I said I would.

Item 14: Visit family

*CHECK*

Yep! I saw even more family than I would’ve thought. More on that later…

Item 15: Photography

*CHECK*

I count this as a win I think…anyway I’ll do a photography dump soon.

Item 16: Movie marathon

*EPIC FAIL*

I wanted to…

Item 17: Go see Black Widow in theaters

*CHECK*

Yup! It was really good. I don’t know why it didn’t come out ten years ago…

Item 18: Watch TV shows

*EPIC FAIL*

Other than a couple shows I watched with my family, I watched one episode of a TV show. WOW! GREAT JOB DIAMOND!

Item 19: Dog scrapbook

*HALF CHECK*

Grandma and I didn’t make a dog sccrapbook, BUT we did make a scrapbook!

Item 20: Make a Tshirt with Silhouette

*CHECK*

I did! It’s kinda like blog merch and I love it.

Item 21: Home reno

*HALF CHECK*

We did do some of the things I mentioned, but not a ton. We’ve got more to do, and I’ll probably make a post about it before 2022.

Item 22: Music

*CHECK*

I do feel like I’ve found some new songs. I haven’t refined my playlists or written an album review yet, but I’m still counting it.

Item 23: Swim

*CHECK*

I swam a good amount. There were also a lot of days that I couldn’t, but still.

Item 24: Make a friend

*EPIC FAIL*

I mean, I guess I got closer with friends. But I was also gone for two months…so yeah. I did get closer to my grandma though!

I completed about 13.5/24 things. So, a little more than half! I did have a pretty good Summer I guess.

I should have a photography dump coming up in a week or two.

I hope this wasn’t too boring for you all! I felt kinda sick while writing it…

Anyway, what’d you think of this bucket list? How’d you do on yours if you had one? Tell me your favorite thing you did this summer.

(I’m going to try something new tomorrow! I hope you guys like it.)
