Gone With The Summer
The ultimate teen summer bucket list.
Gone With The Summer 
Wow inspired me to make my own bucket list! Hope my summer is as eventful as yours.
I usualy spend summer vacations deviod of any adventure. However, your bucket list has inspired me to have a great summer, one to remember. My iggest aim is to spend an entire day with the children from an orphanage and use my free time to give them joy.
wow this is awesome, you inspired me to make my own! check it out http://mylifeissummerr.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/the-bucket-list/
This is HOW to live life dude
nice list i may borrow some of these!
Good luck with the list, looks great!
Great bucket list, good luck in achieving it all!
YOU HAVE NO LIFE PLEASE GET ONE. Jesus loves you and so do I!!! <3
Erm, she does have a life. She’s doing something with it, she’s doing things that are different expanding her mind and horizons, she’s helping motivate people through this amazing blog, and she’s happy.
haha Seriously? She’s going out and living her life in an awesome, creative way and the only thing you’re doing is cowardly sitting at (well,hiding behind) your computer anonymously writing negative comments on other people’s blogs. . . . hilarious.
Yeah, i love how you say that she has no life, even though she’s living a creative, adventurous one, and then saying that you love her after that. Wow.
do so have a life. dont be so critical and dont judge people. im going to do a bucket list this summer with my best friend too, and we sure as heck have lives.
How do you stay so positive and happy? :)
Leave florida? hey im in florida! yeah, it’s cool and all, but getting out of it (even if that was indiana, for me) was great! or georgia. that’s only like 10 minutes from my high school haha
Go Florida! I was actually planning to take a mini road trip with some friends up to Georgia… stay tuned!

Here’s my bucket list for the summer of 2012
Your list looks great! It’s interesting to see how much more masculine it is! Don’t you just love the versatility of bucket listing? Best of lucking completing the rest of it, and thanks for stopping by! (:
I definitely tried to take a more sporty approach. There’s a bunch of other little things I could have put on that list, like visit certain restaurants when I go home, watch some soccer games of girls I coached, purchase certain items, catch up on missed movies. I just wanted to write down the dozen or so main things that would really affect how successful I viewed my summer.
I dreaded last summer, knowing I would be bored and let my time go to waste. Summers are usually always the same for me. Sigh. Then I found out about this blog on Yahoo Answers, and I must say not only as it inspired me to make a Bucket List. It has also inspired me to start setting and planning goals for myself, I’ve found new hobbies and improved my skills all because of YOU. So thank-you thank-you thank-you for making this blog. I can’t wait for the next update.Take Care!
Oh my goodness, this was so touching to read! Sometimes it’s hard for me to wrap my head around changing the lives of others, but I always appreciate hearing it from fans such as yourself. For that, thank you so much for commenting Emma! Here’s to a great summer and many more to come (:
Hey Girl!
So I just wanted to let you know..I discovered your list last year and then made my own. Let me tell you, it made the summer so much better! I also loved coming back here once in a while and checking your progress! (hopefully that doesn’t sound creepy..hahaha)
Anyways, I was thinking about this blog the other day since it’s almost summer vacation for me (3 more days!) and then noticed you started another one…which, in turn, has given me the motivation to make another list. ( :
We’re the same age, so your list gave me a lot of ideas! Hopefully we both finish everything this year. ( :
<3,
Lindsey
I’m glad you had such a positive experience Lindsey, and I think it’s awesome that you’ve decided to do it again! Plus, I’m glad you still find the time to make it back over here, definitely not creeped out, haha. Cheers to our not-bummer-summers!
An amazing idea. I’ve been reading so many Life Lists, but I haven’t come across a Yearly Life List yet. A good way to stick to your list – otherwise it kind of falls behind all the daily responsibilities. Love from South Africa. X
Thank you so much Nicole! I have to say, I’m blown away that I’m getting some love from South Africa, so thanks for stopping by and sharing! I agree, a summer list is much easier to maintain than a life list. Although I don’t have it published my blog, I do have an all-time achievement list… so far it has yet to have anything crossed off!
Hey Sarah!! My name is Ashton and your blog is my inspiration for creating my own summer blog complete with 2012 summer bucket list. I am excited to follow your journey this summer as i go on my own and hope that we are both successful with our bucket lists. (I hope you don`t mind my borrowing some of your list items). Thanks so much for inspiring me to make this summer unforgettable :)
Hey Ashton, I’m glad I could serve as your inspiration! It looks like you’re off to a great start, I especially love the picture with the girls’ hair hanging off the bus (: I’m looking forward to seeing how your summer goes, as I hope you are with mine. Thanks for commenting!
I am currently making my own list and i got a lot of great ideas from you! This summer will be the best!
I’m glad I could help Maddie, it’s awesome that you like the list! Here’s to the summer ahead!
You sound like one of the most fun people ever! We might have even met each other at one point, as I also live in an undiclosed small Minnesotan town! By far my favorite blog. I will probably be stealing a few ideas for my summer bucket list as well. Go Sarah! (:
Awh, thanks Alli! Trust me, I’m sure we would know if we had crossed paths before – it was a VERY small town in Minnesota! Thanks for commenting, I am so grateful for the support, and I’m glad I could inspire you!
I feel a little bad/awkward but could I like….use your bucket list for this summer?? I made on but it was kind of sort of reaaallllyyy bad. Hahaha my uncles getting married so one of them was get drunk but I mean that wouldn’t happen.. thanks for letting me see this!
Absolutely! Especially if it helps you to stay safe this summer (: Thanks for stopping by, I’m glad you like it!
I absolutely love this blog! I have always wanted to create a bucket list…and a blog….and yours has inspired me to do just that. I am 18, just graduated from high school, so this is like my last summer to be a kid and have fun before I have to step into the real world. I plan to create a summer bucket list, and then hopefully a life-long bucket list. Hopefully I can make this summer one to remember!
Thank you Allison! Congrats on graduating, and I wish you the best of luck with both of your lists!
I love the list! Me and my friend are doing most of these together! :) But I have one question…how do you cross out stuff on the list? I want to be able to do that too. Thanks(:
Thanks Kelly! I hope you and your friend have a blast in the process! When you say cross out stuff, do you mean like
this? That’s a basic strikeout function that should pop up on the bar at the top when you type. If not, you may need to find out the coding for it… I’m not positive though. Maybe try one of the WordPress forums?Oh i see. Thanks!!! (:
This is the best list I’ve seen! Everything looks so fun! My friends want to make a list like this, after seeing your ideas, it is a must! (: I can’t wait to see what your summer looks like next year! :)
Thank you Hailey! I hope you and your friends find it to be as worthwhile as I have! And about next year… we’ll see, hah (;
Hey, I love your list. It sounds like it’s going to be so much fun, even if you only get a few (but I wish you the best of luck getting them all :D). Your blog last year was one of the inspiring factors for my blog, 90daysofparadise. (90daysofparadise.wordpress.com, if you want to check it out…no pressure haha) Summer 2012 is going to be amazing!!
Thanks, Jenna! It means so much to me that I could take a little time out of your summer to help inspire the direction of yours. I took a look at your blog, and it looks like you’re off to a great start! I’m excited to see where your adventure leads you… you ARE free (:
