This Summer...

Let's face it. Summer is upon us and the relaxation that accompanies it can turn to boredom quickly. This summer will be different, though. I'm not going to complain once about being bored, but rather, I will be productive and active.

My (unofficial) Summer To-Do:

• All the books on my shelf that I keep saying "I'm going to read that one day..."- well, today is the day. This summer, I'm going to read good books.
• I will not spend all of my money shopping in Target.
• Organize. My bedroom at home still looks like the aftermath of a natural disaster and my college life has yet to be officially moved back home. I'm cleaning out and cleaning up.
• I will regain contact with my inner artist. My paints have sat on the shelf and my easel has been in the attic for far too long.
• More of my artsy side: I'm going to tickle the ivories. I miss my piano teacher and I miss playing, so I'll add some new tunes to my repertoire. 
• Travel. I've already got plans for Europe (I'll set sail in just ONE WEEK!), but on the smaller scale, I'll be making some road trips to see my friends scattered across North Carolina.
• Summer series: how can you not love them? So You Think You Can Dance, The Bachelorette, Pretty Little Liars (don't judge)

Should I think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.
