Nine Questions For Us To Answer:
1. Why a summer bucket list?
Sara: Last year, I was really sad about leaving sleep away camp and had no other plans for the summer. I googled, “things to do over the summer” and came across a blog called gonewiththesummer. I was really inspired by hers and created my own bucket list blog. I did a couple items, but later gave up on it. This year, I got really into YouTube and wanted to make videos. Rachel and I decided to make a summer bucket list together and we could vlog and blog it.
Rachel: Last summer Sara got really bored so around July she made her own summer bucket list. However, we only had about a month until school started and she didn’t come close to finishing and wasn’t serious about blogging everything. So this year since we both got obsessed with YouTube and all those cool British YouTubers, we decided to try vlogging as well as blogging our own summer bucket list.
2. What is the craziest item on your list?
Sara: Doing our AP World homework. Haha not.
Rachel: Attempt to break a world record even though we have no clue what we’re going to do.
3. What is your worst summer memory?
Sara: At our sleep away camp, we have overnight, which is where you go to a campsite in camp, cook your meals over a fire, and sleep under the stars. When I was 11, we went to this place called “Wild Holly”, which is just a grassy forest area filled with ticks, poison ivy, and deer bones. I got really dehydrated and had a huge headache. They only had pills there, and I had never taken one. I tried to swallow it, but it hit my gag reflex and I threw up and had to walk to the infirmary in the middle of the night. Fun.
Rachel: I don’t really have any specific terrible events that happened during the summer that I can think of right now…
4. What’s the hardest item on your list?
Both: Definitely extreme couponing. It looks really complicated and takes lots of planning. But if Honey Boo Boo’s mom can do it, so can we.
5. What is your favorite shampoo?
Sara: Aussie’s Confidently Clean because it helps keep the grease out.
Rachel: John Frieda Blonde Go Blonder
6. If you could be anything other than human, what would you be and why?
Sara: A goddess. Oh wait, I already am one.
Rachel: A mermaid.
7. What is your favorite inspirational quote?
Sara: You guys do not how hard this is, especially if you have a 500 pin Pinterest board filled with quotes. I’m just going to narrow it down to my top five.
· “It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for ‘someday’ and then quietly without you really noticing, ‘someday’ is today. And this is your life.” -One Tree Hill
· Y.O.L.O.
· “Sometimes, you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Dr. Seuss
· “Always.” – Severus Snape
· “Isn’t it funny, how day by day, nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis
Rachel: Like Sara, I’m also obsessed with inspirational quotes and I love going on Pinterest for hours and pinning inspirational stuff.
· “To live a creative life we must loose our fear of being wrong” -Joseph Pearce
· “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly…” -proverb
· “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple” -Dr. Seuss
8. What is your favorite childhood movie?
Sara: High School Musical 2
Rachel: The Land Before Time
9. What do you see yourself doing in 81 years?
Sara: Not gonna lie, it took me a while to get the “81” years thing. I would imagine myself living in the Swiss countryside with my hubby and our dogs.
Rachel: Uhhh.. That’s a loooooooonnnggg time. I mean I’ve got no clue of what I even want to do in college let alone the rest of my life.. That’s actually really weird to even think about..
