The List
I recently decided that I'm going to make this summer count. The thought that my brother will be heading off to college next summer has made me realize that I'm running out of time to be able to do whatever I want. I'm going into my sophomore year and its time to start living and stop waiting to be "old enough" to do the things I've always wanted, one day I'll be too old to do these things. I don't want to live with regrets. So i decided to make a list of things to do this summer (this is also an effort to not be bored everyday). I came up with about 136 things that I really want to accomplish. Yes some of them are silly and childish but if I don't do them now I never will get a chance.
Here's my list:
1. read at least 3 books
2. Finish all summer assignments before August (Ap classes- gotta love em')
3. keep room relatively clean
