29 things to do (or not?) before school - a personal list

As a premise, I was interested in becoming a blogger because the university I'm going to had a blogging site... and you actually got paid for it and I like writing, so great deal right? But I wasn't so sure if I'm ready to publish publicly for all parents and students, young, or old-- and don't forget, professors, researchers too--to see yet, wish is why I started a personal blog on Wix :) (Shout out to one of my friends who actually blogs himself too! He inspired me to start)

Not gonna lie, summer has been pretty boring so far... I mean sure, some people occupy themselves with research, internships, studying before freshman year of university, but I never sought any out, and I'm gonna go on vacation too... but just not this month yet, so yup, staying home this month has been the plan.

...which is why I created a list of 100 things to do before school starts! Not gonna lie chances are I'm gonna be too ambitious, I mean we'll see.

So here goes..

1. make mac and cheese (one of my favorite meals!)

3. make French onion soup

4. learn some knife cutting techniques (video or actually try) + names

5. learn the actual difference between a margarita, tequila, vodka, shot, or whatever rather than just larping the names around

6. wine etiquette?
