The key to making the most of your summer is by being present and enjoying the little moments with your loved ones. Savor every moment that you have while doing these summer activities! Enjoy the summer season and cherish the memories you’ll make.
What should I put on my summer bucket list 2022?

Get creative, think outside the box, but most importantly, have fun while adding and checking things off your bucket list!
How do you plan a summer bucket list?
Before planning your summer bucket list, make sure that you’re also realistic with the time that you have. If you’re planning to go on a road trip, plan out the dates that you’ll be available to go. I’d say plan your summer bucket list one month in advance so you can just start to brainstorm ideas of what you want to do. Don’t stress about it, though. Have fun with the process!
Is making a bucket list a good idea?
I would say so! A bucket list helps us articulate more of our goals and vision. And it also differentiates what our goals are from others since everyone may have a different bucket list. It also helps keep up accountable for our goals and dreams, while having fun with it!
