21 Things On My 2016 Bucket List

Even with all the different New Year's Resolutions out there, people still struggle to keep them. I've chosen to make a list of specific goals for myself that everyone can follow that I know I can accomplish by the end of 2016.

1. Finish the 5 Peak Challenge.

I have yet to go on any hikes in San Diego, but I know this will force me to get out and do it.

2. Document my life more.

I love looking back at my Instagram and seeing pictures that bring back memories from my first year of college, but I didn't continue that the beginning of my second year. I hope to have written or photographic mementos to look back on later in my life.

3. Eat a smoothie every day.

After getting a Magic Bullet for Christmas, I've become inspired to eat more fruit. The only problem I have now is having room in my freezer for frozen fruit.

4. Reconnect with someone from my past.

I recently heard of a bunch of people reaching out to past teachers who made the most impact on their lives. Over 10 years later, the life lessons my fourth grade teacher taught me still stick with me and I want to thank him.

5. Try Bikram yoga.

My school's gym offers tons of fitness classes for free with gym memberships including half a dozen kinds of yoga. Why not?

6. Take a cocktail-making class.

2016 is the year I turn 21, so I figured I could impress all my friends when they finally turn 21.

7. Do 10 pushups.

What can I say, I have no upper body strength.

8. Do a pull-up.

See No. 7.

9. Sell something on Fiverr.

After discovering this gold mine of a website, I feel inspired to share my skills (and hopefully make some money).

10. Become a mentor for someone.

One of the things that make me happiest in life is knowing I've helped someone and made a difference in their life.

11. Be a movie or TV extra.

San Diego used to have a thriving film industry and I'm not too far away from Los Angeles. Who knows, maybe I'll get my big break.

12. Use my passport.

The easy way to accomplish this would be going to Tijuana (since I'm not far from the border) but I would love to travel anywhere.

13. Get eyelash extensions.

I keep seeing people who get this done and while it is extravagant, expensive, and totally unnecessary I still want to try it once. Treat yo'self.

14. Sell/donate old clothes.

I admit, I'm a hoarder. I have tons of clothes that I don't wear or need so I might as well give them people who do or sell them for a little extra cash.

15. Go to the snow.

The only time I have ever been in snow was at age 19 on Christmas Eve. I just want to build a snowman.

16. See a show/concert/play.

San Diego has tons and tons of musical acts come through the city all the time. I feel like I'm missing out if I don't take advantage.

17. Be more organized.

My academic life is fairly organized but my personal and professional life is fairly scattered. I need a planner or something to organize my life, not just my school work.

18. Regularly upload to Instagram.

This one kind of goes along with No. 2. I would love to have a digital scrapbook of memories but I also want to have a portfolio of social media use (considering my major is Media Studies and I work in social media for my school).

19. Blog regularly.

Just like no. 18, I would like to have a portfolio of my writing and my work to use as a Journalism-Media Studies major. I also enjoy writing and find it to be a great creative outlet.

20. Make other people happy.

Smile more. As much as you don't think it affects other people, it does. A smile can brighten someone else's day.

21. Make myself happy.

Smile more. As much as you don't think it affects you, it does. Fake it until you make it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
