Although summer hasn't officially started yet, I've been out of school for a couple of weeks now. My weekdays and weekends have been so busy with work and other obligations that I haven't had a chance to really enjoy being free of homework, projects and crazy professors. So I decided it might be a good idea to make a list of things I want to do this summer, whether they be big or small. A checklist of sorts. I'm a sucker for a to-do list. These are ten things I want to do before summer ends:
1. Go to the Atlantis Aquarium on Long Island.
2. Take a much needed vacation with my boyfriend.
3. Watch a movie on the lawn in Bryant Park at the HBO Summer Film Festival.
4.
5. Purchase new bedding. Maybe from Anthropologie!
6. Take a day trip to Charleston, South Carolina. (Pat & I always say we're going to do this when I visit and we never follow through.)
7. Host a dinner party and invite all my girl friends.
8. Get my portfolio together and apply for Fall internships.
9. Spend a day doing some tourist-y things in New York City. I really want to see a play and go to the Bodies Exhibit at the South Street Seaport.
10. Go to the beach and be outside as much as possible.
I'm currently on Spring Break in Myrtle Beach visiting my boyfriend. I've been here for about three days so far and the weather has been overall really nice. Lots of sunny days. Friday we went out to lunch and then layed out by the pool. Then at night we saw the Hunger Games which was honestly incredible. I absolutely loved it. If you haven't seen it yet, you must go now! It was really good and stayed true to the book, which I really liked. Over the weekend we went to Broadway at the Beach, one of my favorite spots to walk around down here. We went to lunch and got ice cream. Yum. And today it's a little over 80 degrees out so we plan on hitting the pool or beach and enjoying the heat and sun. I love the weather here! The forecast always says there's going to be thunderstorms but those days turn out to be the hottest and most beautiful of them all. My goal is to take a ton of photos, (I never follow through on that, but I'll try) and keep you updated with all of the fun things we're doing. Ciao!
