The 'Teen's Summer 2017 Bucket List' meme originated from a photograph of a handwritten notebook page detailing a young girl's ambitious and stereotypically 'basic' goals for her summer vacation. First gaining traction on Twitter and Tumblr, the list included items like 'Get a tan,' 'Go to a bonfire,' and 'Fall in love,' capturing a specific brand of youthful optimism that resonated with many. Over time, internet users began photoshopping the list to include absurd, impossible, or highly specific adult tasks, turning the earnest original into a versatile template for irony. It serves as a nostalgic time capsule of mid-2010s internet culture and is widely used to mock one's own productivity or lack thereof.
