Want to know what’s on my fall bucket list? Here’s what I had in mind.

Autumn Bucket List

Apple Picking

True story: I’ve never been apple picking before, and it’s something that I’m really excited to do this year with bae. If you’re in the Charlotte area, there’s an apple orchard an hour and a half outside of the city called Apple Hill Orchard that looks pretty cool online. I’m definitely making sure to snag a few apples to make a homemade pie later!

Take a weekend trip to the mountains

This fall season, I want to go on a weekend getaway to the mountains. I’m thinking a weekend filled with outdoorsy adventures and plenty of time for relaxation. It’ll be nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city (and of life). Some of the possible destinations that I had on my list were Boone, Hot Springs, and Bryson City (all located in North Carolina).

Learn a new skill

One of the things that I really want to focus on is photography! I’ve always loved photography, but alas with school and now work, I never really spent a lot of time mastering this craft. Most of the photos you see on this blog were taken by photographers that I pay to help me create the content that you see. While I love the photographers that I work with, I would love to learn how to take incredible photos on my iPhone for when I travel without a professional photographer.

Have a Harry Potter marathon

While I can’t recite every single movie by heart, I will say that I’m a huge fan of the Harry Potter series and would love to have a Harry Potter marathon one day this fall season. The plan is to watch every movie start to finish until I’ve completed the entire series! Wish me luck! If you’re not a Harry Potter fan, then I highly recommend the Vampire Diaries. I just finished watching it and it’s worth the hype!

Visit a local winery

I’m actually not a wine drinker, but Titi really enjoys trying out different wines. I’m hoping that this fall season we can head to a local winery for a fun date night activity. I mostly enjoy going for the good views, interesting history, and a good time. Can you imagine a nice fall picnic with some bomb wine on a mountain somewhere? Yep, sounds perfect to me!

What is currently on your bucket list? Anything exciting that you have planned?

As this summer kicks off, I finally get a chance to breathe a little after a long semester of studying and cramming for exams. Who else can relate? I wanted to start this new season off with a bucket list! I’m putting my bucket list out there to the world in hopes that I’ll be more accountable and more motivated to achieve my goals this summer. 

A lot of the items on my bucket list are things that I’ve been wanting to do for a while but have consistently been put on the backburner when it comes to school, work, and this blog. This summer I want to put my happiness first in everything that I do. If it doesn’t bring a smile or bring me joy, then it’s not happening!  Check out my bucket list below and tell me what’s on yours!

SUMMER BUCKET LIST 

Travel More in My Area

I talk so much about how I’ve traveled the world, but let’s be real, all of my traveling experiences have been with my parents. I haven’t actually traveled that much in my adult life, and that’s mainly due to cost. But what’s stopping me from enjoying the local beauties around my area? Absolutely nothing! South Carolina is a beautiful state, and I have a few ideas brewing of some things I want to show you all on my journeys.

This summer, I want to travel to Greenville, Hilton Head Island, and Beaufort, all of which are within 3 hours from my home base in Soda City. If my big plans happen, you’ll be seeing some travel guides on the blog soon.

Spend More Time Outside

For most of my summers, I usually end up working 40 hours a week and spending most of my time indoors. Then I spend the remaining time working on my blog or having a social life off-screen. But this summer, I want to make sure I take some time to myself and step outside for a change. I want to take a hike in the mountains, suntan by the pool, and maybe even dig my toes into the ocean. Life is too short for me to be spending most of my time inside so this summer I’m stepping outside and living my best life.

Be More Active

I’ve been super slack on the physical activity department, especially since I started pharmacy school. This summer, I’m dedicated to being more active this summer, whether it be hitting my apartment gym or taking Ava for a walk down the river. I’m not going to be super strict on myself, but I definitely need to create a routine that I can maintain and be more active.

Read At Least 2 Books

I used to love reading as a kid all the way until I graduated high school. Then college happened, and I just never had the same free time as I did in middle school and high school. And when I say I used to love reading, I’m talking I use to read 5-10 books a week on a regular basis. Now there’s no way I can do that anymore, but I’m hoping I can read at least 2 books this summer. Seems pretty attainable to me. I’m going out of town in June for a compounding course so I’m hoping during my travels, I can make some headway on my goal.
