My Summer 2026 Goals/Bucket List

It is nearly summer, and with that comes my bucket list of things I want to do. I'm hoping to do at least 10 of these things this summer, but if I do more, then that would be great.

I want to be more active, creative, more social in life, and I have been thinking about how I want to go about that. This list is what I came up with for this summer. I am hoping I can make this summer more fun, more productive, and more fulfilling than it has been the last few years.

In no particular order, here is what I would like to do this summer:
  • Update resume
  • Apply for a new job
  • Get my bedroom cleaned up
  • Redecorate my bedroom
  • Donate unwanted items (that are in good condition, obviously)
  • Visit the local farmer's market
  • Dye my hair purple
  • Get a second piercing in each ear
  • Learn Spanish
  • Learn 1-2 songs on the violin a month
  • Make lemon bars
  • Learn how to apply my own makeup
  • Improve my baking and cake/cookie decorating skills
  • Finish decorating retreat scrapbooks
  • Bake lemon bars
  • Ride my bike 1-2x a week
  • Write letters to friends
  • Make second t-shirt quilt
  • Go to a local festival
  • Paint at least 2 pictures
  • Make strawberry shortcake
  • Do some form of movement at least 30 minutes a day
  • Pick up journaling again, and journal at least once a week
  • Read 2 books
  • Read the Bible every day
  • Have a spa day
  • Reconnect with my friends
  • Take a week-long social media break
  • Get to 100% (or as close as I can get) on a video game
  • Cook one new recipe a week
The 2 top things I want to do this summer is to apply for a new job, and to get my bedroom cleaned up. I wanted to focus on my health before looking for another job, and I am now ready to get back to working again.


What is on your bucket list for this summer?
