Summer Bucket List

Due to me feeling a little bit homesick and not wanting to waste my summer I have come up with 20 things for me to do during the holidays.

1. Sort out my laptop

Due to my first year at uni, I have been quite overwhelmed with the whole experience. This leading to me not filing my documents properly. At the moment finding something on my Mac is like finding a pin in a hay stack. Although I have a feeling that I will be putting this task off for as long as possible due the time it will take me to sort it all out and with it being a boring task.

2. List stuff needed for my new house

Since I am moving into my new house soon with my nearly all new housemates I feel I need to write a list of stuff that I need to buy or pack. Although before I write a list, I need to view the property due to me not remembering exactly what my room looks like!

3. Create 5 pieces either in Photoshop or Illustrator

I want to create new pieces of work so that I can put them in my portfolio. Also this gives me a great chance to learn new skills and show off the ones I learnt this year.

4. Do 10 drawings

I would like to try different things to draw as I find it quite challenging as I am a perfectionist so I easily get annoyed when a piece isn't going my way. I feel that if I can do 10 drawings that I would be proud to put in my portfolio it will be very worthwhile and I might pick up new techniques.

5. Sort out my music on iTunes

Whenever I am in the mood for certain music and put my iPhone on shuffle it always seems to pick the wrong choice of songs so to stop this, I hope to get rid of some songs and create multiple playlists for different moods.

6. Be able to run for 10 minutes without stopping

It would be my dream if I could run half marathons in the near future so I feel I need to start somewhere by training myself to run for a simple 10 minutes. Seeing as I have never run before I would feel very pleased with myself I could accomplish this goal.

7. Make a uni year book

To help with me feeling homesick of my uni lifestyle I plan to create a book with all the pictures of my first year in so I can look back any time. I hope to do this after every year.

8. Create at least 7 posts for the blog

To keep me busy I would like to write a blog every week on a Thursday. I have planned out on my calendar what the subjects the following week post is about. This will give myself a week to research and plan my blog. Wether I stick to it we shall soon see….

9. Write some resolutions for my next year at uni

To become a better student and live my life full as a student I would like to write some resolutions that keep me on track for the year. This hopeing in a end result of good grades and some memories.

10. Start to fill my design inspiration book

Yesterday I brought a plain book so that I could fill it in with inspiration of designers and their work. I hope by the time september comes it has some content in there. I feel this will help whenever I feel unmotivated or am stuck with ideas on a project.

11. Fill my recipe book

Seeing as I am just starting to fill in my Recipe book that I got from Christmas I have decided to look for some simple and cheap recipes that i can cook when I am back at uni.

12. Have a face mask once a week

Due to me not having any me time lately to myself I feel that I need to get back into the routine of having an hour where I can relax and have a face mask.

13. Do at least 4 posts on my blog about design

Seeing as I am going to go type up my notes that I made in the first year I feel that I might adapt to them and make some more posts about design. This will give me a perfect excuse to do some more research on the topics covered in semester 1 and 2. As well as this it means that I can delete them off my computer but still have a copy.

14. Complete a  charity race

This year i am doing a 5k Race for Life with my best friend. We are both doing it in memory of my Mum who passed away two years ago after a short battle. http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/kathys-angels0 Please read our story and spread the word about raising money for cancer research.

15. See the Olympic Torch

As the Olympic torch is being ran past my hometown I feel that I should go and see it as it is a once in a lifetime experience. I hope to post some photos of the torch on here, just hope someone tall doesn't stand in front of me.

16.  Go out for a day trip with the Grandparents

Due to a couple of health scares with my granddad I hope to have a couple of day trips with them so I can make the most of them whilst they are still here.

17. See all my family

Seeing as I don't see my family for months on end I hope to have a gathering which will probably be at a pub. Though when I say family I only mean my dads side as I am not close to my mum side who I rarely see.

18. Sort out my 2nd wardrobe

Due to me having enough time off and having more than enough clothes that I don't wear I feel that I might sell them so I have extra money to buy things for the new house and some friends birthday presents.

19. Go to the beach at least once

As it is called a summer break I hope to visit the beach at least once where I can dip my toes in the sea even if it is in the rain.

20. Read some designs books

So I am ready for my second year at uni I want to swot up on design books so I can use some of there techniques in my pieces.
