Hot Girl Summer To-Do List

hot girl summer to-do list

fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a wild ride

Year after year, I make summer “bucket list” which I usually forget about within a week or two. HOWEVER, this year, I’ve decided that the only way I’d manage to stick to my ‘bucket list’ is to turn it into a “to-do list.” The addition of the term ‘to-do’ implies that it’s not a choice, but much rather necessity that each and every item on this list be completed. The current things on here are just a base- I’ll add more as I think of them.

And if it’s not exciting enough yet- to make it 100000x more exciting, I’m gonna document everything through writing, pictures, and videos for all of you to experience it with me. Therefore, by reading this sentence right here (yes this one) we are entering a legally binding contract that I promise to complete every single thing on this list by the end of September, and post about every single one. ya bitch is almost fully vaxxed up, and ready for her first summer in NYC.

In addition- before beginning, I would also like preface that the term “score” which is used frequently in the following list is up for personal interpretation. Do what you may with that information & let your imagination go wild.

And if you’re related to me in a familial capacity, please exit now. This is not for you to read. (Unless, you’re my mom. Hi mom. You can read this.)

lets go

Chopped Cheese Tour of NYC
I’m obsessed with chopped cheeses, and this is a top priority. End at Hajji’s in Harlem. It’s a must.
Score a guy from every astrological sign. (minus the ones I’ve already bagged in NYC)- way too many Scorpios
- Capricorn
- Aquarius
- Pisces
- Aries
- Taurus
- Gemini x2
- Cancer
- Leo
- Virgo
- Libra
- Scorpio
- Sagittarius
Every single person at the table gets blackout at Sunday bottomless mimosas brunch
No, I haven’t done this so far. Surprising, huh? The closest we’ve ever gotten was on the day of election results, and I ended up swimming in the Washington Square Park fountain like a damn sewer rat. This should be an eventful one.
Score some on a rooftop
pls read, acknowledge, and then move on.
Moped mob through Central Park in the middle of the night
Imagine like the stranger things kids, but instead a group of college kids on Revel scooters at 3am. Yeah.
The girls and I simultaneously go on first dates- but at the same time and same restaurant
Convene in the bathroom for updates of course. Rank the men & maybe even switch spots. Who knows?
Create an iconic ~public art display~ in Soho in the middle of the night
Use your imagination to interpret what that means (hint: we’re gonna need some spray paint)
Visit every single pier in Manhattan
Pier 17 & 35 are my favorites so far, but I’m determined to visit every single damn one.
Walk the entire Brooklyn Bridge
I’ve never walked end to end. This one is boring, but also just needs to happen.
Visit every single Farmer’s Market in Manhattan
Please don’t tell Miss Union Square that I’m cheating on her, but it might be time to branch out and buy flowers from somewhere else.
Become friends with the security at a skyscraper and find your own NYC mountaintop
If you don’t understand the reference, it’s time for you to open up Netflix and watch Friend with Benefits. ASAP.
DRAG SHOWS. DRAG SHOWS. DRAG SHOWS.
Trey & Gaby took me to my first official drag show the other day and my jaw was on the damn ground. Shout out Miss Pixie Aventura.
Tour of the Ivy League (minus ones I’ve already bagged)
The men of the league flock back to the city and the Hamptons when summer hits, and I feel like a nice 6’5” Princeton rower is calling my name.
- Harvard
- Yale
- Princeton
- Dartmouth
- Columbia
- U Penn
- Brown
- Cornell
Hit a big milestone, and take my best friends out for a Cipriani dinner
I refuse to let my first time at Cipriani be on a date with a man who’ll pay the bill. Therefore, the next time I hit a big milestone and make enough bank (promotion? big freelance gig? huge life opportunity? ), I wanna take my best friends out to a nice Cipriani dinner. Girl boss shit only.
PUB CRAWL. PUB CRAWL. PUB CRAWL.
yktfv.
Get invited to an art gallery after hours so it’s just you
Bonus points if you get invited by the hot young gallery owner that only dresses in Dreis Van Noten- and it’s actually a date. But yo that seems oddly specific .
Skinny dip in the pool on top of Equinox Hudson Yards
sorry mom. (and if it isn’t Equinox, it better be a different rooftop pool)
Skinny dip in the Hamptons
I mean gotta get both the pool AND the ocean. Go big or go home, baby
Make your first big bag purchase
Buying your first designer big ticket bag is kinda a milestone. TV shows make it look like every 20-something has a collection of Chanel boy bags and Dior saddle bags. However, I only own two “designer” bags of my own (the pretty lil pink Versace & my black Stella McCartney) which were both gifts for big milestones.
I’ve been working for 8 months now, and I’ve been slowly saving up to buy a really pretty bag to commemorate my first big girl job, so this summer is gonna be it :) I think at this point the actual bag doesn’t even matter, and it’s more about what it signifies- because at the end of the day a bag is just a bag. Unless it’s an Orange Kelley 32. Then it’s not just a bag.
Attend the 2021 US Open
As an ex-tennis gal, this is a big one. Who knows- might fuck around and marry Alexander Zverev. The ATP roster is full of possibilities.
Karaoke in Korea Town
Is it bad that my go-to karaoke song as a child was “Blow” by Ke$ha?
JAZZ CLUB. JAZZ CLUB. JAZZ CLUB.
Like La La Land but New York version. Maybe I’ll even bump into Saxophone boy? OR maybe he’s the one taking me to a jazz club- who knows?
Try a Papaya Dog and sit in the same seats that Sandra Bullock and Rihanna sat at in Oceans 8
Will do this. Will take pictures. Will post said pictures.
Go to a live recording of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
I’ve wanted to do this for YEARS. I always tell people that my dream job (other than doing exactly what I’m doing right now) is being a late night show talk host.
Booze big time on the Staten Island Ferry as you watch the sunset
This one is self explanatory. Also, pray that you bump into Tom Holland as Spiderman while he’s trying to save the ferry from splitting in half.
Smooch at the top of the Empire State Building
Cliché? Yeah maybe, but also it’s incredibly iconic. Bonus points if I have a bouquet of flowers in my hand and the boy is dressed in a three piece suit. Is that asking for too much?
Date at the Shake Shack in Madison Park
Really get into my full blown main character form, and pretend I’m a character in Something Borrowed on a date at the Shake Shack in my second favorite Manhattan park.
WORK MY FIRST MET GALA SEASON
Get ready, it’s September 13th. I’m ready to ball out, baby.
