Plans for the Summer

Since the weather is finally feeling summer-y again, I thought I'd blog about my plans for the summer!

Something that will take up a big chunk of my summertime is my job. I work for Champion Cheerleading, a cheer camp for middle and high school cheer teams hosted at Alma College. This summer will be my second year on Champion Staff and it's going to be great! We do things like teach cheers and stunts, spot tumbling skills, put on seminars, coach teams, and watch cheerleaders compete in the cheerlympics. My #ChampsLife will likely be something I blog about more in the future.

Since I love to read books, I without a doubt plan to turn some pages with my time off from school this summer. Reading for leisure is always a little difficult for me to do during the school year since there's so much to be done. Any book recommendations will be considered! Just let me know :)

Like I said in my first blog post, I really want to try out lots of Pinterest recipes and crafts. What better time to do so than summer? I even have a special secret board for the specific crafts and foods I want to make this summer that I've been pinning to the past few weeks. Along with making said food and crafty things I hope to blog about most of them as well.

Being 4.5 hours away from Home Sweet Holland this year at college made me super excited to spend a lot of my time this summer hanging out with my friends from high school as well as my boyfriend!

Another thing that I'd like to devote some of my summer to is running and working out. I ran a 10k race this past fall while at school and I'd really like to run another one this summer. A half marathon is also something on my bucket list for my life as a college student so maybe I could train and run one early in the fall. We'll see!

My "reach goal" for the summer is rather far-fetched considering I'm pretty busy, but I'd REALLY like to go to Cedar Point! I haven't been since before the 2 more recent coasters have been built and I'd really like to ride the 3 roller coasters there that I haven't yet ridden so that I can say I've ridden them all. I absolutely LOVE roller coasters and grew up going to Cedar Point several summers of my childhood.

This short list of things to do this summer doesn't even get me started... There's so much to do!
