Okay, how are we already half-way through July? Let's just allow that to sink in for a moment...
Seeing how Father Time has decided to speed things up a little bit, I sat down and thought about all the things I want to do this summer. I'm determined to make this season one for the books, since this entire year has basically been one catastrophe to the next for all of us. So if you're looking for some ideas to put on your summer 2020 bucket list, you've come to the right place!
1. Create the perfect summer playlist
Every summer has its own story, and what does every story need? An awesome playlist to go with it! Whether you play it on car rides to the beach or during a more chill afternoon indoors, this is first on the list for a reason.
Oh, and feel free to share your curated summer playlist with us on Insta - we're always looking for awesome new music!
2. Have a BBQ
Hands up if you've already ticked this one off your list, because I sure have. Let's be honest, no Gozitan/Maltese summer is complete without at least one... or twenty.
3. Explore a new beach
On that note, no summer is complete without visiting a few local beaches, either. This summer, make it a point to explore a beach you've never been to before. Feel free to check out last week's post on some underrated Gozitan beaches if you need a little inspiration.
4. Watch the sun rise
Summer might be a time of long nights and sleeping in, but getting up early enough to see the sun rise across the clear summery skies should definitely be considered. It might just be the perfect way to start your day.
5. Read a good book
Just humour me and read at least one book this summer. If Harley Quinn can do it, so can you.
6. Go on a breakfast date
Breakfast dates are both super cute and super yummy. Grab your significant other or a couple of friends and go eat breakfast out. I guarantee you won't miss that bowl of cereal you usually have in the morning.
7. Visit the aquarium
Summer is of course synonymous with the sea - and that includes the wonderful creatures that reside in it! Head on over to the aquarium for a fun (and informative) day out.
8. Spend a day by the pool
If you're not big on the beach - I get it, it can be a hassle - then a day by the pool is the next best thing. Add a margarita to the mix and you're all set for a relaxing time.
9. Go fishing
This is on my personal bucket list, although there's a good chance I might end up hating it. Nevertheless, it makes sense to try it at least once in your life, especially if you live on an island. Getting in touch with your roots and all that jazz.
10. Go camping
This one is definitely not for everyone, but again, I urge you to at least consider it. Some of my favourite summer memories throughout the years include camping with my friends on Comino. You might not get the best sleep, but it's an experience you won't forget.
There you have it - 10 things I think you have to get around to doing this summer. After all that hassle during the past few months, you deserve to make this summer your best yet!
