10 Things To Do Before I Die

"Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious." – Phillips Brooks

They say that life is short. Be that as it may, whether it feels like you were born yesterday or in fact 20 years ago, time passes quicker than it seems in the moment. Even though sitting in class for 15 minutes staring at the clock goes a lot slower than 15 minutes watching Netflix, the same amount of time passes and eventually that class ends and the time that you spend looking at the clock turns into something to pass the time and before you know it, class is over and you're three credits closer to graduating.

I think it's important to make a bucket list. As cliché as it might be, we have to live the time that we have left doing the things that we love with the people who matter. So here we go:

1. Bungee jump

Although I'm terrified of heights sometimes.

2. Climb Mount Everest

I would love to see the breathtaking view in person.

3. Solve a crime

No matter how big or how small, I want to play a police officer for a day.

4. Live by the Kennedy's motto

"No apologies, no explanations."

5. Feed a koala

This one doesn't need an explanation.

6. Name a star

Wouldn't it be cool to have a star with your name? Even if just for the story.

7. Paint a mural

But ...

8. Learn how to paint

There was a twist.

9. Write a book & publish It

Mainly just to see if you can do it.

10. Blow glass

I can't be the only one extremely enticed by these videos.

Now it's your turn. Make a bucket list of as many things as you'd like because tomorrow is not promised.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
