My Fantastic Bucket List!

17 Things I Want To Accomplish
Non Stop Destination

1. Graduate college

This is one of the first things I want to achieve before anything else on this bucket list. Graduating college will allow me to finally settle down and do what I want. A college education will take me to different places I want to go. Imagine the possibilities and what you can do with your degree. You can do anything your heart desires. For me, it all starts with this accomplishment.

2. Get a cat


The cats in the picture above is the exact breed I want to get. I always loved the Siamese coat and blue eyes. Growing up I was never allowed to have cats. I fell in love with them from going to my friend's house. Even though they aren't always the friendliest, they are independent and great pets.

3. Get my dream job

As of now, my dream job is to work for NASA. I've always been interested in space exploration and almost anything that has to do with the subject in general. But since I am still in college, I have kept an open mind to other things. I also love children, so teaching or becoming maybe a pediatrician would be great too.

4. Write a book


I'm actually already in the process of this. I'm still in the beginning stages of it, but I am hoping it will go somewhere. I love writing, because it's very relaxing and takes my mind away from other things.

5. Become fluent in another language.


In high school, I took Spanish for two years. Even though I did learn the language, I didn't become fluent in it. To me, it takes everyday practice to become better at this. I would love to become fluent in Spanish, but I also would love to learn Russian-especially if I work for NASA one day. Companies love people who are fluent in other languages.

6. Learn to fly an airplane

This sounds crazy, but I actually want to do this. I am not sure when I will do this, but it doesn't hurt to put it on the list. Fun Fact: I actually used to be scared to fly! It's not so bad and is safer than driving. You have a higher chance passing a way in a car crash than a plane crash.

7. Get married

Here's a common one on people's bucket list!

8. Be a great parent


Like I said earlier, I love children. So of course, I want kids! I want to raise my children to love and accept everyone for who they are. Teaching your kids the right thing to do and how to be a generous person is one step to becoming a great parent in my book.

9. Live by the beach


It's always been a dream of mine to live by the beach. I hope one day I can accomplish this. I really love Florida. The beaches are absolutely beautiful!

10. Attend the San Diego Comic Con


Anyone that knows me knows that I am a big Doctor Who fan! So, why wouldn't I want to go to Comic Con?!

11.Attend the Olympics


Girls gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport! What's yours?!

12. Attend the Superbowl

Professional football is one of my favorite sports to watch on TV. I think going to the Superbowl would be an amazing experience!

13. Go storm chasing

Call me crazy again, but I've watched people do this on TV. It seems like such a thrill! Of course it's dangerous and sometimes it can be heartbreaking when you see people's homes destroyed, but some of these guys I've seen of TV are great first responders. In the long run, they do help many people!

14. Visit all 50 states

40 left to visit! Some states I really wanna visit that I haven't yet are California, Alaska, and Hawaii.

15. Visit the United Kingdom

Like I said in #10, I'm a big Doctor Who fan! I would love to visit Cardiff, Wales. This is where most of the show is filmed and also the spinoffs like Torchwood and Class. I would love to do the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay! I'm a big fangirll! Next, I would love to see Stonehenge and visit London to see the sites. I would also like to see the Greenwich Observatory and Cambridge University, since I love astronomy. Cambridge University is home to the apple tree that inspired Issac Newton to formulate his theory of gravity.

16. Visit outer space


Another crazy idea, but this will actually become more common in our lifetime. Private companies have already started investing tourist space travel. Virgin Galactic is just one company for example. We still have a long way to go, but I do think this is possible to be accomplished during my lifetime.

17. Crossing things off my bucket list

In the end, I hope to accomplish all the 17 things I listed here in this article. Before I leave this Earth, I hope I can enjoy the many things life has to offer. From graduating college to visiting outer space, I have many bold things to accomplish! Throughout my 19 years here I already have crossed out many things off my list and look forward to crossing off many more.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
