Soundtrack To Your Summer Playlist
This isn't a list item, but a playlist for your summer is a must. I've always had trouble with creating what I thought of as the perfect playlist, but I never succeeded. However, I was listening to this playlist yesterday while out and about on Sunday activities, and I was pretty happy with it. It needs some tweaking probably, and I'll add more songs to it. So far, here what is on my playlist for this summer:

#31: Make Gummy Bear Ice-Pops
Thursday over dinner, my cousin had given us each a bag of gummy bears. After eating most of the bag on Friday, then did I realize I could have made the gummy bear ice pops, and at that moment I didn't have any left in my bag to make them. Thank God she had given us an extra bag, which my mom had pointed out when I told her the dilemma. So, yesterday we grabbed some Sprite and I got to work last night. It was pretty late when I made them, and my little sister, whom was overly excited over the whole ordeal, helped me drop the gummy bears into the ice pop tray. Having to made them pretty late last night, the ice pops wouldn't be frozen enough to be considered pops until extremely late last night (even though I was still up), so today would be the best to consume them. However, we were out all day today, so we didn't' get to try them until tonight, which we finally were able to do.
They were okay. I had gone into this with the mind set of very negative reviews saying these pops were disgusting. But being someone who dearly loves gummy bears, I just could not not make and try them.
The pops were not bad in my opinion, so not a total fail. Maybe if I were to have gone into this without the reviews I wouldn't have liked them. But since I didn't gag or throw up, immediately spitting them out, I claim this a win! However, I probably wouldn't make these again.
I give it a 5/10

#38: Skype My Best Friend
On Tuesday I completed the first item on the list, which was number 38: Skype my best friend. My best friend and I are about to pass five years of being friends. We met online a few years ago, and even though she's 1,000 miles away, the distance doesn't matter when I have a friend like her. She's super sweet and awesome, and has helped me through everything, and is just so amazing I could go on forever on her awesomeness, and I continuously thank God to have her as my best friend. Online friends are real friends, regardless if we haven't met face-to-face. Next year I will be seeing her for the first time for her graduation, and I couldn't be more excited!
However, up until last year we haven't really contacted with one another other than over texting or Snapchat. It was weird I've been talking to this person for years and never heard their voice. Last year (almost exactly a year ago) she brought up we should talk over the phone, and I loved that idea and agreed. But at that moment I was in the middle of moving across the country, so I couldn't find private time carved out to talk on the phone. Like how it usually went, we just forgot about it and never did it. In November, me and her did do a back and forth over Snapchat (not the video call, just videos) so we got to hear each others voices. In the beginning of this year, she mentioned we should Oovoo that weekend. Yet again, life got in the way and we never did it.
Because of these instances, I thought we should finally do it over the summer. I actually made no mention of this to her, and went with the plan that I would just bring up the ole "hey, we should Skype!" whenever I decided to do so. Here's the funny thing, she approached the subject first, with no knowledge I wanted to do it this summer.
On Tuesday she told me how Snapchat updated and added a new feature to video call, and I instantly jumped on board and agreed. We set up a time, and we tried. For half an hour, and couldn't connect with each other. So she buckled and downloaded Skype and did it that way. Due to connection problems it lagged alot, and every five minutes (not exaggerating) we would lose connection and the call would end. It frustrated her to no end, more than I (I wasn't very bothered by it though it was annoying). That problem was fixed the next day and we were able to have a long chat uninterrupted, which was nice.
I am so glad I live in a day and age where I could talk face to face with someone who is a thousand miles away without having to be right next to them. Back in time, pen pals were a thing, and I imagined that was more difficult to connect with a person. Thanks to social media, it's amazing how much we can connect and grow in our relationship with people leagues away.
Though our first or two chats were super awkward, mainly due to my severe awkwardness and quietness, but the more we talked, the more I feel comfortable doing it and It's great. I am speaking for myself haha, I don't know how she feels about it.
I honestly think we're going to do this again during the summer since we also did it on Thursday. Her and I have been busy this weekend, so we might not be able to squeeze one in, which is completely A-Okay, and it's okay if we don't Skype the rest of the summer! We still talk, but Skyping is really fun. I super happy this one is the first one to be crossed off my list ^.^
