I read the whole thing! AMAZING!! I will read this every summer! :)
Wow, thank you Hanna! I’m so glad I could turn you into an annual follower (:
This is way awesome :) This summer I’ll be 16. I’ll have my license, the boy of my dreams, and the best friends, and best parties. I’m determined to make it the best. <3
Thanks Emmy! I’ll be 16 going on 17, and also mobile. Now about the boy… Not so much! Haha. I hope this summer exceeds your expectations! Thanks again for stopping by!
This list is AMAZING. You’ve totally inspired me to actually do something and document it like I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve started writing a diary and I got a camera just to record certain things I want to capture. Thank you!!!!!
No, thank you Maisie! I’m so glad I could be such an inspiration! I hope you find the whole venture as exciting and worthwhile as I did. Have a great summer!
hey great list! the end of my last summer was awesome so I’m planning on having a whole amazing summer this year. my best friend and i are seniors so this it’s our last summer before college and some of these ideas are perfect for our level of craziness lol.and perfect for the summer before college, like the sheet tye-dye one we can do for our dorm rooms! thanks for the ideas!
Hey Julie, I’m glad to hear you and your friend have been able to relate to my list! Knowing you’re nearing the end is tough /: I hope you’re able to make this summer the best one yet! Don’t forget to check out the new list for 2012 with even bigger and better list items! Thanks for stopping by!
hey from Hong Kong. Gosh, moved here recently and sadly summers are no longer full of suburban sun, backyards and of course taco bell! you just don’t get that summery feeling cooped up in an apartment block in the concrete jungle, beautiful city though! i’ve completely wasted my last few summers, mostly on books and tuition :'( welcome to the asian work ethic. But this has inspired me to gather a couple of my BFFs, move out into the burbs for a couple weeks and live a little while we can! thanks a ton :)
HI!!
I’ve been reading this blog since it started, and I know you have finished now.. but anyways!! I live in Australia so while it was your Summer I was sitting her totally depressed since it was Winter. :(
ATM I have a new friend from Finland who is going to be here for our Summer so we have decided to try and do as many things on your list and add some of our own so she will have the most epic Australian Summer ever!!
So thank-you for giving us this great idea and I hope you had an awesome Summer as well!!
Love,
Gab :)
I love this blog! It’s inspired me and a long distant friend to compete and finish as many as things on our bucket list as we can before we meet up! Love your ideas too!
I’m sorry, my last post was supposed say a shame, not ashamed. haha.
Hi!
I love your blog!(:
Will you be continuing once school starts?? It’s totally ashamed you didn’t finish!
This is amazing! I live in australia, so obviously I wouldnt be able to do stuff like “go to taco bell”, or anything like that but, summers comming up down here, and i will be having an amazing time trying to do some of this stuff. :)
Thanks
Thank you so much! I’m actually pretty suprised that Australia doesn’t have Taco Bell… Anyways, thanks for checking out my blog! It’s odd to think that while I’m in school in December, other people half way across the world will be trying out my summer!
Hey, I’m from Australia too and we actually have a restaurant called Taco Bill! So it’s kinda similar!
That’s a very interesting list you have there.
Thank you? (:
This has given me so many ideas for this summer, I’ve created my own with your help! Thanks :) xx
hiya :) just like to say this is a great list and it’ll be amazing once you’ve finished it! you could add something like, “gain a pen pal” or something and share all these stories with her? from some of your ideas i’ve decided i’m going to make a friend memory board with pictures and flyers that remind us why we’re best friends… its going to be amaze! anyway, i’m actually from the UK, so cant do some of the stuff on here but have fun and keep going! we <3 it :D
sarah, i love this bucket list and i made my own becasue of it. i hope it is ok that i used one of your ideas and tweake it a little on my list. I said since i am going to NYC soon to make 20 paper airplanes and write inspirational sayings in them like Make it last and stuff like that and throw them off the top of the rock. do you think that is a good idea?
Hey Clare, thanks for commenting! I’m so glad you’re liking the big BL so far! Totally feel free to use my ideas, most of mine are borrowed to begin with! I think your NYC idea sounds really fun! Just make sure you don’t poke any eyes out (;
You should go camping!
It’s funny you should say that! I used to go camping many moons ago, during my days in Idaho… I don’t think pitching a tent in the Everglades will be much fun though /:

Hey Nicole, Tazemaster (tehe!), Jen, and Rachel, thanks so much for visiting my site, and I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it! All of your guys’ inspiration is just mind-blowing. And Tazemaster… that’s awesome. I never would have thought to do that! I’m really interested to hear how things turn out! I hope everyone’s summer is going great!
where can I find those roundtable events? that sounds really cool!
I just found out about ours through my history teacher, but maybe you could Google it? I know ours was just kind of a local thing, but I’m sure there must be roundtables in other parts of the country too. And I agree, it was pretty interesting! I hope you are able to find one to attend!
Love the list and the whole entire blog! I’m starting to make my own summer bucket list, using some of your ideas(i hope you dont mind :) )
Anyways, thanks for inspiring me. Now i wont be completely bored the whole summer :))))))
– Rachel
love it :) i’ve used a lot of your ideas on my bucket list too. thanks for the inspiration!
I know what I’m going to do when I get bored: Take a look at this list, ask someone to name a random number 0-105, look at the task, and do it! Unless there’s a legitimate reason I can’t. Thanks for the inspiration! Great list!
Thanks for recommending your blog on my yahoo site I’ve been trying to think of what I’m going to do all summer while being grounded and your blog has inspired many ideas so thanks!
I love your blog! You inspired me to create my very own! I just created it…Haven’t posted any of my tasks yet, but check it out please?! Thanks for motivating so many of us!! Lots of Love <3 Vanessa

Thank you so much Maddie, Madi (tehe!), Katie, and Mamie! I love that everyone is making their own lists! Nothing’s more inspiring than knowing that you’ve inspired others (:
hey I just wanted to say that I love your blog! Unfortuneately, while I was looking for your blog I found another that took some of what you wrote and copied it exactly. This may be another of your accounts or a friends? idk but I thought I should let you know because they copied some parts word for word. They even almost copied your url. Here’s the link: http://gonewithsummer.wordpress.com/
Thanks Melina! And yes, I have seen the other blog, and no I do not know the other person… no worries though. I’ve just decided to brush it off for now (: Thanks for your concern though!
