Some may want to be a nurse, a teacher, run a marathon, or go to 50 concerts. This is AMAZING, but I want to do more before God calls me home. What does this look like?

1. Make a difference 

Making a difference in not only my life, but someone else's as well. As a future helping professional come May, there are many ways to make a difference. Leave kind words behind, volunteer your time, donate to a good cause, become a mentor, be a light in a dark tunnel.

2. Listen from my heart

Active listening is hard in a world of technology when it is easy to hide behind a screen while someone is looking for a listening ear. You never know when someone is suffering the most until you listen with everything you've got. Listen to the struggling sister, the brokenhearted, the classmate in your math class, the girl going through a breakup, whatever you do, listen.

3. Heal wounds

Wounds are hard to heal from; it takes a ton of patience and work. Nurturing my heart, knowing that my feelings are real and valid. Investing in therapy, reminding myself of who God says I am, and knowing that I am wanted and worthy.

4. Tackle a bucket list

Bucket lists already

5. Grow

6. Fail

7. Face fears

8. Never "Work" A Day Of My Life

"If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life". We've all heard it, throughout this crazy thing we call life, I want to experience exactly what this feeling is.

9. Trusting God with all I've got

God has a plan and a purpose of your life.

10. Never take anything for granted

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
