College's getting over in a month, and very long summer is awaiting
me. My mind is usually a scatterbrain of various ideas that I want to
implement, but I very rarely actually carry out any of them. So to
make sure that I do stick to the various plans I am making, I
am going to jot down an officially
'college's-over-now-what-shall-I-do-for-the-summer' list.
Here we go.
1. The day my exams are over, I am going to take off on a three to
four day vacation with two of my best friends. No cell phone, no
laptop, no books. No contact with the outside world. Well, we do have
to contact our parents twice a day, but that's it. Completely leaving
the world behind and taking time after a very strenuous timetable to
finally enjoy life. We are all going separate ways after this, and
such an opportunity might not present itself again.
2. Write a novel! I have been putting this off since I have dreamt of
it. I don't know what it is – my constant self doubt that badgers
me when I'm writing, or the fact that I procrastinate way too
much. I have so many ideas – ideas that I'm super proud of
– but I just keep putting it off. With the long vacation in front
of me, I am going flesh out an entire novel and write it. Yes, I am
going to do that.
3. Rewatch Pretty Little Liars and Teen Wolf. I love these two shows,
I dearly do, but with so much going on, I simply am not able to keep
up with their complex plots. I want to watch them again, notice all
the simple nuances and finally see through the amazing storylines.
4. Reread Harry Potter. It's been THREE YEARS since I did this the
last time. It's quite self explanatory. I need to make time to let
the magic into my life again, and relive my wonderful, beautiful
childhood.
5. Go to Kerala. Spend about a month there. My last few visits to
Kerala have been about three-four days long. My ageing grandpa and
grandma are there, and it's about time that I take time off to spend
with them. They deserve it, after all they have done for me. Maybe I
can revisit my childhood once again – this time in a more personal,
familial and different way – before I take off into the rut and gut
of adulthood.
6. Take a day out and spend it by myself. I don't know what I do, but
it should be by myself. Of course, it includes a movie. I have been
wanting to watch a movie alone since forever, and this would be the
right chance. Eat out, travel on my own, be with no one but myself,
and enjoy the calming effect of blissful solitude.
7. Bake a rainbow cake. Okay. This was something I wanted to do for
my best friend's birthday, but I do think I need to practice a lot
more. Watching Masterchef Australia (my happy show) had instilled in
me, the desire to bake. The rainbow cake baked by Liliana Battle is
something that has stuck with ever since, and there is no way I am
not going to bake it this summer, and relish every single bite of it.
8. Cook for my best friends and family. I was the Home Science topper
in my school, and I still haven't cooked for my friends and family.
What is wrong with me? This summer, I am so going to cook an
elaborate meal for them, showing them just how much they mean to me.
9. Go on a spa trip with one of my close friends. This plan has been
pending since forever as well.
10. Be happy happy happy.
