End of Summer Bucket List

Aug 08, 2017

Every time summer gets here, we can’t wait to get our bucket list made that will include all our best adventures for the summer, trying out new things, and living life carefree. With less than 30 days left of summer, for most of us, now is the perfect time to fit in any last minute bucket list items you had! Summer ’17 has been all about time spent with family and friends, preparing ourselves for the upcoming school year, and doing things we never thought possible last summer. All in all, it has been one for the books! Time to go out with a bang!

Here are a few last minute bucket list items you can add to your impressive list-

1. Enjoy live music at your county or state fair
2. Cook everything on a grill & invite your friends over for a fun night
3. Take a nap in a hammock
4. Watch/catch the fireflies at dusk
5. Take a family (or friends) photo just because
6. Do a three-day technology detox (that means no social media!)
7. Read 3 books off the NYT best seller’s list
8. Fly a kite
9. Clean out your closet and declutter around the house
10. Take a trip to the zoo or aquarium
11. Attend a baseball game & splurge on the good seats
12. Dance in the rain instead of running inside to avoid it
13. Have an all-day Netflix move marathon
14. Volunteer locally

Things to do before the move

• Go to usps.com to have your mail forwarded
• Cancel or redirect any deliveries or subscriptions
• Back up your files! You never know what can happen to your computer during a move
• Check for any packages at the office

• Range and microwave - Clean all parts of the oven, range, and microwave, including exterior.

• Closets, Cabinets, Drawers, Shelves and Backsplashes - Remove all shelf paper, contact paper and adhesive residue.
• Bathroom – Clean toilet, bathtub, mirror, walls and floors.
• Doors and walls - Remove all hooks, nails, stickers and tape.  DO NOT PATCH NAIL HOLES—Patching may result in charges
• Window areas - Remove all stickers and tape. Clean inside of windows including tracks. Remove any curtains installed. Dust blinds.
• If your apartment is furnished, remove the cushions and vacuum out anything that may have fallen during your stay.
