Bucket lists tend to be a summer essential, but often, online lists become repetitive. Along with this, online bucket list ideas generally require a large sum of money and for the individual to be above 21 years old. Here are some ideas to add that only sometimes require money and can be enjoyed by people under 21.
Big hole — Dig a big hole in one’s backyard. When it inevitably rains, as it will due to Oregon weather, jump into that giant puddle. One now has their own puddle-swimming pool.
Costco trip — Dress in a large black cape or trench coat and add some stilts — previous knowledge of stilting is required. Head to Costco and purchase one’s supply of normal groceries. If questions are raised, explain that the outfit is three children standing in a trench coat stacked atop one another.
Blasting music — Get a friend or two and go on a drive. Blast embarrassing music, such as Karma by Jojo Siwa, Friday by Rebeca Black or Yummy by Justin Bieber, with the windows rolled down. Head to a populated street where one might know somebody and see who rolls their window up first. Whoever gets embarrassed first pays for the driver’s gas.
Ghost hunting — Say hello to one’s local spirit. This can be done by purchasing an Ouija board, pendulum or an FM transmitter. Talking to a local spirit is important and often forgotten about; they get lonely too.
Go viral — Go viral on Facebook. This is better than going viral on TikTok because who goes viral on Facebook?
Make a bucket list — Making a bucket list is important, but make sure it’s interesting. Make it pretty, try using Canva and maybe even add bows or clouds.
Summer fun is important after a long and hard school year, and making a bucket list of ideas to ward off boredom is essential to get the most out of the summer. Feel free to use these ideas on a summer bucket list.
