Raise your hand if you\u2019re ready to turn social distancing into a distant memory.<\/p>\n

When I heard that my daughter\u2019s school was closing for two whole weeks<\/strong> last March, I thought that was an eternity. I honestly didn\u2019t think we would make it through.<\/p>\n

Fast forward one year, and we\u2019ve spent more \u201cquality time\u201d together than either of us were prepared for.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the majority, I\u2019ve got some good news. Recent results<\/a> show that Americans are starting to get out, following the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n

Not only are more people engaging in social interactions by visiting with friends and family, the number of people who are self-quarantining is steadily declining.<\/p>\n

Finally.<\/p>\n

And, with summer coming, people are starting to make big plans to get out and escape the far too familiar four walls surrounding them.<\/p>\n

Just as we make New Year’s Resolutions for the beginning of each new year, we are upon a new beginning of a different kind\u2013one unlike what we experience on an annual basis. <\/p>\n

This is a new beginning where everyone is eager to get up, get out, and get moving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the best ways you can be sure to maximize the time during the upcoming summer season is to set some summer goals. <\/p>\n

So in this article, we will look at 35 summer goals you can create for yourself to help you finally escape the confinement of social distancing and spread your wings.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

35 Summer Goals: A List to Set for 2024<\/h2>\n

1. Go on a Road Trip<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no better time than the summer to pick a spot on the map, grab your friends, and drive. You\u2019re guaranteed to have a fun adventure travelling where the wind takes you with your closest buddies. <\/p>\n

Make a list of things you want to do on your trip, and leave the rest up to chance.<\/p>\n

2. Go to an Outdoor Concert<\/h3>\n

Going to concerts is one of the most sought-after activities<\/a> in America. Find a venue near you, grab a lawn chair, and lay back as you\u2019re listening to the live music.<\/p>\n

3. Take a Picnic to the Park<\/h3>\n

Go all out with a picnic blanket and basket and bring your favorite lunch foods to enjoy in the park. This is a great way to enjoy the summer sunshine while you people watch with your picnic partner.<\/p>\n

4. Swim a Mile<\/h3>\n

Now that the pools will be back open, a lot of people will get their exercise through swimming laps<\/a>. <\/p>\n

One fun goal to have if you like to swim is to swim a mile<\/a>. But you don\u2019t have to stop there, aim to swim two, three, or four miles if you\u2019re up for it.<\/p>\n

5. Catch Fireflies<\/h3>\n

This is a classic summer after-dinner activity. See who can catch the most! Plus, you\u2019ll get a little exercise while you\u2019re doing it.<\/p>\n

6. Cross Something Off Your Bucket List<\/h3>\n

Get out your bucket list (or start making one with this list of over 500 bucket list ideas<\/a>) and get to work! Make a goal to conquer some of the larger items, like skydiving or traveling cross-country.<\/p>\n

7. Meet a New Friend<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s about time to get out there and start talking to others who are outside of your \u201csafe\u201d zone. If you\u2019re looking for an easy way to start a conversation with someone new, try these \u201cthis or that\u201d questions<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Or, for a longer conversation, ask these hypothetical questions<\/a> to get a good conversation going.<\/p>\n

Not sure how to meet new people? Check out these social hobbies<\/a> that will have you interacting with new friends in no time.<\/p>\n

8. Adopt a Dog<\/h3>\n

One way to be sure that you get out a lot this summer is to adopt a dog. Plus, adopting a dog has health benefits in addition to the exercise you\u2019ll get from walking him. Studies show<\/a> that adopting a dog can help reduce stress and give you a sense of purpose<\/a> and companionship.<\/p>\n

9. Have a Family Reunion<\/h3>\n

It can definitely be a challenge to find a time and a place for everyone to travel and come together, but when is the last time your whole family was able to reunite? <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to have a big reason to plan a family reunion, it may just be a great excuse to take a fun vacation with all of your relatives who have spread out throughout the years.<\/p>\n

10. Make a Positive Change<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a new beginning\u2013and a great time to work on making positive changes in your life<\/a> to set yourself up for living the life you <\/em>want. <\/p>\n

Maybe you want to start waking up earlier<\/a> so you can use those valuable, quiet hours to be productive<\/a> before the sun comes up, or maybe you want to work on decluttering your living area<\/a> to help simplify your life. <\/p>\n

You will probably be surprised at the impact one or two small changes can have.<\/p>\n

11. Go to a Water Park<\/h3>\n

Get some thrills on the water while doing everything from flying down exhilarating water slides to jumping through waves in the wave pool. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll definitely feel the adrenaline rush\u2013but you can also be sure that you\u2019ll be safe because there will be trained lifeguards there watching you have the time of your life.<\/p>\n

12. Bond with Your Partner<\/h3>\n

If social distancing has left you and your partner a bit\u2026confined, make an effort to get that spark back with these fun hobbies that will strengthen your relationship<\/a>. Sometimes all you need is a change of pace and a break from your daily routine to reconnect with your partner.<\/p>\n
