The List

      FOUR MONTHS! I can't believe it is four months until I turn 18 and leave for my freshmen year college. Crazy right? And I have so much to do before I leave. So here is the "Hit List", my summer bucket list:

• Go to Beach Week 2012: every summer the week after graduation everyone heads down to the Outer Banks for a week at the beach.
• Go to Warped Tour: I've always wanted to go, but never been able to!
• Go watch East Coast Surfing Championships
• Spend a day in Virginia Beach
• Stay out all night
• Spend a day at the Cottage: my best friend, Bree has a little beach cottage on the York River that is perfect for relaxing
• Pull an all-nighter
• Read a book on the beach
• Paint Pottery
• Go to Busch Gardens: the amusement park near my house
• Go to Water Country: the water park near my house
• Make crayon art
• Have a book club with some friends
• Bake a fancy cake
• Write
• Make bubble art
• Make paint chip art
• Host a dinner party
• Eat a meal in as many different states as possible: it has to be a real meal, not just a quick meal that I eat as I travel through the state.
• Go fishing
• Go neon bowling
• Spend a whole day outside
• Spend a day without phone, Ipod, laptop, or other technology
• Go to a concert
• Go on a shopping spree
• Go to the Busch concerts: a couple of big name bands are coming to play at Busch Gardens this summer

• Volunteer at Camp Baker: this is a camp for kids with special needs in Richmond, VA, about 1.5 hours from my house.
• Learn self-defense
• Dance in the rain
• Absentee voter registration
• Camp out in a backyard
• Teach myself 3 new hairstyles
• Go to Maymont Park and carve my name in the big tree
• Go to a farmer's market/ open-air market
• Get kicked out of a public place
• Teach Michael (my brother) how to cook
• Blog 

And this may only be the beginning! I feel like every other day I find something else to add to my list. Now its time to get it all done!
