1. Go on a roadtrip
This one may be difficult as I have very few friends who can actually drive but a trip to Walling's (the best ice cream parlour) will probably suffice!
2. Go on a bike ride
I love cycling but it has been aaaaages since I've been on a leisurely bike ride so me and my friend Ruth have decided to go on a weekly cycle, providing the weather is desirable.
3. Go on Holiday
This probably sounds a bit silly but I hardly ever go on holiday in the summer, always in February or October. Me and a couple of friends are, however, planning on going away to Oxford for a few days to hopefully that will happen!
4. Read all 18 books I have lined up
This will bee some feat as I am quite a slow reader but going off the time it took me to read The Fault In Our Stars (4 days) this may possibly (unlikely) be achieved.
5. Have a movie/TV marathon day
Me and my friends are hoping to have many of these over the summer as we have sooo many films and TV programmes to watch. Any recommendations?
6. Improve my photography skills
I love photography and I have improved massively over the past couple of years but I'm still not up to the standard I wish to be. I am hoping to take plenty of photos over the holidays and hopefully find my style as I keep switching between two!
7. Learn to cook
You'd think by now I'd be able to make a decent meal. Well you'd be wrong. My culinary skills span as far as beans on toast so I think I should really learn to make a few more nutritious meals before I go go to uni so I don't starve to death.
8. Bake a decent cake
This doesn't sound too hard but the last time I attempted this the results weren't so great. Don't get me wrong it tasted good, but it wasn't exactly aesthetically pleasing...
9. Get fit(ter)
I am probably one of the most unfit people I know yet I love exercise. This summer I really hope to get fitter and lose some weight before uni. I intend to take up running and walk and cycle more rather than taking the bus.
10. Change my style
I've been wanting to do this for ages but I've been thinking with uni fast approaching and the opportunity for a clean slate, I would really like to change my style. Not drastically, as I quite like how it is at the moment, but just to try and make it more quirky I guess.
11. Get my ears pierced
This may sound like an odd one but I have never had my ears pierced and I feel like they may be a good addition to intended change in style. I'd love to get the obvious, standard lobes done of course, but I'd also quite like to get my tragus, upper lobe and helix done. I'd probably only get the tragus and the helix done on one ear but then again my ears are often said to be very small so they may look a bit crowded. The only issue is that I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain...
12. Get a summer job
A job (and the money it brings with it) is defiantly something I need in my life. I am in desperate need of experience but I seem to be highly unlucky in the world of work as I never seem to get anywhere whenever I apply :(
13. Volunteer
I really want to volunteer more over the holidays. I have helped out on DofE weekends and with my local food bank and I hope do to more of this over the summer.
14. Work on my sketch book
I'm far from an amazing artist and I don't pretend to be but this is just a small personal project that I am working on and includes some drawings and clothing designs that I have done. I would really like to build on this and improve my skills whilst filling more of it's pages.
15. Make some clothes/interior furnishings
As I did textiles up-until A-Level I'd like to think I have at least a basic knowledge of textiles manufacture. I have a sewing machine that rarely sees any action so I think it would be a really nice idea to attempt at making some cushions, bunting or clothing .
16. Go on a picnic in the Lake District
I love the Lake District and I have spent so much time there in the past so I think it would be really nice to go there for the day with friends or my family and have a picnic among other actives
17. Watch the sunrise
I always sleep waaay too late to see this but I would absolutely love to watch the sunrise sometime this summer.
18. Learn a new language
I have always found foreign languages fascinating and I did French and German a school but I can't remember anything! With four months to kill this may be a wise way to spend my time!
19. Go to a museum
There are so many museums where I live and I've been to all of them several times but it has been years since my last visit. I hope to revise the history of my local area!
20. Do the Three Peaks Challenge
Me and a group of friends have been discussing this for months an I would absolutely love to do the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. I don't think we would complete it all in one day, but just to say we have done it would be amazing.
Me and my friends are hoping to have many of these over the summer as we have sooo many films and TV programmes to watch. Any recommendations?

So that is my list of things I wish to achieve this summer and hopefully I will be able to fulfil most of them! I can't wait for the summer to get properly started and I can get on with making amazing plans with my friends and family. Hope you all have a great summer!
