My Teen Winter Bucketlist Ideas (The Product Of A Failed Summer List, A Boring French Assessment and A Deep Love For London)

The main problem I have with winter is that . . . well, it's cold. Well, congratulations dumbass you can point out the obvious  have you ever thought about how hard it is to successfully say dumbass with a British accent?  No. And the cold makes us want to huddle close together and hibernate. It's an evolutionary trait made to keep us alive through harsh winters when we first evolved from monkeys. Not even slightly our fault. 

But, as great as that all is, it doesn't stop me from wanting to actually do things in those winter months. Just because the motivation to freeze my fingers off isn't there, doesn't mean the motivation to get a train down to Brighton and buy doughnuts isn't there. And so, to prevent myself from losing those cold winter months to . . . well, I'm not really sure what I do . . . I made a Bucket List. In French. While I was taking a really kind-of important test. Ha. 

*Rebellious behaviour warning* There is NO Winter Wonderland. That place does not - I repeat not exist 

on this list. 

1. Inside camping complete with smores, sleeping bags and 
2. Make a fort with pillows and fairy lights. 
3. Make a gingerbread house
4. A Christmas baking day - cookies, cakes . . . the whole lot!
5. Complete a photo-a-day challenge 
6. Dream box - get a box, write down/put in an object that represents your dream and bury/hide it. Open again in a set amount later and follow the dream!
7. Have a dinner party!
8. Make your own mini-starbucks (well, make fancy hot drinks like hot chocolate with whipped cream and grated chocolate)
9. Now that we're on the subject of Starbucks . . . drink all of their Festive Favourites!
10. Go to Westfields and Bluewater (shopping centres that I always intend to march around, but never actually get around to visiting.)
11. Get doughnuts from Brighton. Yes, I am seriously willing to brave the cold, wet, seawater in my face -  ruining my hard-earned and well-maintained hair - just for Brighton doughnuts. And no, that is not unreasonable. At. All.
12. Go to a make-up counter and get a (free, haha!) makeover. And then take loads of pictures. That nobody wants to see  everybody wants to see them.  Paedophiles want to see them. What, like Ian Watkins?   Did you actually just go there? No. That is seriously not okay. 
13. Give someone a makeover . . . and if you're brave let someone give you one.
14. PYJAMA DAY!
15. Make a Christmas scrapbook
16. Movie series marathon - Marvel movies, Harry Potter, Twilight etc
17. TV series marathon 
18. Christmas-ify your room - tree, fairy lights, cards and all
19. Covent Garden Christmas lights!
20. Christmas light hopping; take a train up to London and use your travelcard to drive around taking pictures of all the lights. 
21. Have a spa day with your friends 
22. Have a homemade pamper day with your friends
23. Go to the park in fresh snow
24. Have a full out war in snow
25. WATCH THE POLAR EXPRESS! This needs to be in capital letters because . . . well, it's important. Christmas movies are so boring. 
26. Visit Hamley's. (The best toy store ever. It has levels. One is just sweets. I don't think you realise how exciting I find this place)
27. Get noodles from Chinatown
28. Go to the Trocodero (a massive arcade, which is . . . okay, well it's just fun.)
29. Go ice-skating
