1. Google's Christmas background

Type in "Christmas" in the search bar and your background will reveal a Christmas treat!

2. Make Google do a flip

Search "do a barrel roll" on Google and have fun watching it do a cartwheel. You could also make Google "tilt" or "askew".

3. Ask Google to choose your meal for today


Indecisive? Struggling with a diet? Then have no fear for Google is here! Type in two foods of your choice into the search bar and Google will help you make a healthier choice by comparing the foods' calories.

4. Gravity

5. Google can tell you the answer to life

Apparently, it's the number 42. Thanks Google—my life makes a whole lot of sense now.

6. Enjoy a game a Pacman

Google's collection of doodles include the fun and nostalgic game of Pacman.


7. Dan the Dinosaur

Google has the just the solution for those who are at locations or in situations where they can't connect to the internet—a simple yet intriguing dinosaur game! Use the arrow keys to avoid the cacti and other obstacles.

8. Searching by image

I've used this a couple of times after I knew it existed. It's really helpful in situations where you have an image but need to go the site.

9. Google got more grooves than you

Actually, this one doesn't really count because it only worked when the Harlem Shake was popular—but I thought it was really dope.

10. Have fun BUILDING with Chrome

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
