100+ awesome ideas for summer vacation

So, the other day, a group I’m in decided to make ‘Summer bucket lists’ and have a competition for how many items each of us can complete by the end of the summer. Everyone made a list of 25 items so the competition would be fair. After I was done with my list, I decided I liked making it and wanted to add more to my list (But for competitions sake, I’d only use the original 25 items to compete) So I came up with over 100 things that would be cool to do (Maybe not even all this summer, but someday) Anyways, the top 25 are what I’m using for the competition and the rest are just for fun. (I don’t have anything explained or linked, so if you want something explained or linked tell me) But also, I was thinking that I’d use this as a blogging segment or whatever and as I complete each task I’ll post something about it, maybe say if it made my summer cooler or whatever, and it’ll be fun! now, for the big list!

1. Actually, I have another idea, you can challenge me to do something else, and I’ll add it to the list (I want to make this list as big as I possibly can!) I might need more than the summer to do it though, I want it to keep growing so that I can just have something to do anytime (I’ll try to post about each thing)
2. I do have limits though, nothing stupidly dangerous, or sexual. (You read the list, you know what kind of things I’m looking for, traveling places will work, but that will probably require at least a year) (also won’t post photos/videos of myself!)
3. So, feel free to challenge me to do something!
4. Later readers! thanks for being awesome
