Hello friends! If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that we have to savor every moment. We often put things off, just expecting them to happen, but sometimes we have to make them happen! To help you do this, and have the best and most memorable teenage years/high school experience, I compiled a list of classic and entertaining activities that will make you feel like you made the most of your youth! I am NOT saying that I have done these things, or that I am planning to do these things, nor am I implying that you must/should do them before you graduate.

You sure will have a fantastic and busy few years if you decide to make and add some of these items to your high school bucket list! Honestly, some of these items on this list may be totally basic or unrealistic, but I was trying to go for a “coming of age” teen movie vibes. Let me know: are you going to make a bucket list for high school? What are you going to put on it? Can’t wait to see wait you’ll say! Good luck completing your list!!
I love this high school bucket list especially as I’m going into my last year of HS. I think an important part of high school overall( which was on your list) is to get out of your comfort zone. I know before high school, I never liked to try anything out of the ordinary but, know I’m more willing to try new activities and experiences!
This entire list is giving me high school movie feels! What on this have you achieved or want to achieve the most? I really want to write a letter to my future self that I will open at the end of college 😃😊
