Summer Bucket List

Obviously Summer is probably going to be different than the previous summer's we've had. No holidays. No festivals. Not even going onto the beach with friends. Keeping socially distanced. However, all this is not going to stop me from creating a Summer Bucket List with all the things I want to do which is acceptable during these uncertain times of lockdown. Plus involve staying at home. So here is my Summer Bucket List.

1. Read all of my TBR on my bookshelf
I always find the Summer the perfect time to get some reading done as it's nice weather and you can pretty much read everywhere. My goal is to read all of my bookshelf before September rolls around as I should hopefully be off to university by then.  Also it will feel great to know I've read all of my books on my bookshelf so I won't have to feel the guilt of buying a new book. This goal is a little ambitious as I am a bit of a slow and lazy reader but I do hope to do a lot of reading this Summer.

2. Finish my second draft of my novel
I am going to be honest with you. I have not done much writing since finishing my first draft. I'm still halfway through working on the first chapter of my second draft. I'm hoping though that I'm going to find that motivation to keep writing and hopefully my second draft will be finished by the time Summer ends or nearly finished.

3. Learn how to play bongos
I bought some bongos under a year ago and while I've attempted to learn to play them, they've mostly been used as decoration or a doorstop. I'm not trying to be an expert but at least learn the basics to bongo playing and carry out a good rhythm.

4. Start exercising
Now I've been struggling with my weight for a while. I just love food. Recently though I've been getting into a new healthy regime by eating less and sticking to three meals a day plus healthy snacks I love. One thing though that I struggle with is exercise but I hope to be able to get into a healthy exercise regime. Mostly so I can feel a little better about myself plus not feel guilty when I'm indulging on treats. So yeah I hope to be exercising on a regular basis this summer. Of course I've been going on walks everyday so I am feeling like I'm losing weight but hopefully an exercising regime will help with that too.

5. Have a wardrobe clear out
I have a lot of clothes in my wardrobe that either don't fit me, never wear or don't even want yet keep because they were gifted by family or friends. I've been very much into decluttering and getting rid of things that don't spark joy (thank you Marie Kondo) which includes my clothes. Now as the weather is getting warmer and I need to sort through my summer stuff plus go through any winter stuff that I didn't wear. That way I can see what I really need and like as well as see what I don't need. I hope to have a big wardrobe clear out as I'm moving in September so it will be easier if I have less clothes.

6. Have a movie day
During this lockdown, I haven't had a full movie day which included popcorn, fairy lights and a dimly lit room. Almost like you were in the cinema but at home. I hope to have that movie night and may even make it a themed night. I've always wanted to try the Harry Potter marathon challenge or maybe watch a load of musicals or even another movie series like Pirates of the Caribbean. Although when I do eventually get round to it, I'll be sure to make a blog post all about it for you guys to enjoy.

Those are just some of the things on my bucket list. I'm sure there's plenty more but I just can't think of them right now. Let me know what is number one on your bucket list. I would love to hear it in the comments below.

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
