31 Bucket List Cross Offs After Your WebMD Diagnosis
Free Spirit

The day started off as a normal day and everything was going perfectly fine until you got a headache. You've taken a few aspirins but nothing is working...so you do the inevitable and look up your symptoms. If you're anything like me, you already believe that this is the end of the world. Now you have an even bigger problem on your hands. Your simple (most likely tension) headache, is now a brain tumor because WebMD says so. Well, if you're in that boat, I've come up with a month's worth of bucket list items that you need to check off ASAP because you don't have much longer!


  1. Work your 9 a.m.-5 p.m. shift while singing 9 to 5 all day long.
  2. Quit your job: You don't need it anymore. I mean, you don't even like going there every single day. There's only room for happiness and relaxation from this point on. Let's get to it.
  3. Go to a trampoline park: An entire building full of bouncy kid-like fun? Yes please.
  4. Jump on a water trampoline: Because why not add water to the fun?
  5. Play a game of paint Twister: Ten times messier. Ten times more fun.
  6. Stargaze in the back of a pickup truck: Especially, if you live in the city and never see the stars because of smog/lights. Drive out into the most rural part of town that you can find and do this. You won't regret it.
  7. Dye your hair a crazy color: If you can't decide on a color, just tell the hairdresser to "surprise you". That always works for the best. #AmIRight ?
  8. Try every Ben & Jerry’s flavor.
  9. Pretend to be famous for a day: No flash photography please.
  10. Go swimming in the rain and/or go skinny dipping: There's really no underlying motive behind this one beside the sense of freedom and fun you'll have.
  11. Horseback ride in the ocean: Apparently this is a thing and it needs to happen right now. Actually just stop reading this list and go find a location that hosts this. You get the experience the beach without putting in all the work of swimming/walking.
  12. Visit Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: Breath-taking. It's one of the World's largest salt flats.
  13. Go to a music festival: Coachella, Bonaroo, ULTRA, Lollapalooza, SXSW. Pick one that fits your style. (Although I'm sure you'd have a blast at just about any one of them you went to).
  14. Go to a Masquerade:
  15. Ride a gondola: If the gondolier doesn't sing to you, find another one and try again.
  16. Go Fly-boarding: This shouldn't even take much convincing. Look at how awesome this looks!
  17. Rent a beach house:
  18. Paddle board in the Grand Canyon:
  19. Throw a party on a yacht: This is your little taste of living like Beyonce.
  20. Experience zero gravity: Just call me Buzz. (Aldrin not Lightyear).
  21. Take a trip to New Orleans: This place is oozing with culture. It's a MUST.
  22. Walk on hot coals: This is risky and you totally have to commit if you plan on this one being successful.
  23. Ride a camel in the desert: When in Rome. (Or Africa).
  24. Mattress surf: You've been wanting to do this since you saw The Princess Diaries 2.
  25. Plant a tree: You can't forget to give back!
  26. Go to a drive-in movie:
  27. Visit the Great Wall of China:
  28. Attend a Hawaiian luau:
  29. Visit the South (Southern United States) and binge eat all the BBQ you can find:
  30. Go to the doctor for a professional diagnosis: This probably should've been done way earlier in the month, however, you wouldn't have really had the chance to ditch your old life and live like you wanted to.
  31. Beg for your job back: After you figure out you’re not actually about to die & attempt to piece back together your entire life (as you knew it before you decided to go off the deep end). Also, you'll need to seek financial advising immediately because unless you're made of money, there's absolutely no way you're going to easily bounce back from the debt you've accrued.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
