33 Things I Hope To Do
A Book by Alex Strohl
"Life is about courage and going into the unknown."

We all have a bucket list; we all have things we want to do, places we want to see and people we want to meet. I have a list of things that may seem odd, but something I just want to experience, something I want to do to feel alive, happy and fulfilled. People strive to do as much as they can in their lifetime and make sure they do it to fully enjoy and ultimately, whether you have a bucket list or not, we all have these things we want to do.

Here are 33 things I wish to do in my lifetime.

1. Visit Yosemite National Park

2. Go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans AT LEAST once.

3. See the Northern Lights.

4. Visit Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

5. Have a genuine conversation with a celebrity – not to ask for a selfie, not to bombard them. Meet them and talk... Maybe impossible, but hey, definitely worth a spot on the list.

6. Have front row tickets to my favorite artist.

7. Travel through Europe. Hit England, Paris, Italy – all the major stops.

8. Attend a World Cup soccer match to fuel my soccer-loving heart.

9. Drive a luxury sports car. One that is worth more than I can fathom owning.

10. Dance in Rio, in the street, with someone, whatever the occasion. Just to dance my heart out, loud music playing, people laughing and talking, just enjoying life (while dancing).

11. Visit all the places Ben Stiller visited in the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

12. Fly in a private jet and drink a glass of champagne: you know, the usual.

13. Run a 10K and not pass out.

14. Publish a book.

15. Hail a taxi in Times Square, and have a nice chat with the driver.

16. Swim and visit a waterfall in Thailand.

17. Visit Greece and stay longer than a week (my homeland).

18. Go to the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, and kiss a stranger at midnight.

19. Have an apartment with a view.

20. Volunteer in a foreign country.

21. Visit New Zealand and take pictures, upon pictures.

22. Climb a mountain.

23. Leave a waitress/waiter a huge tip.

24. Attend elite cooking classes.

25. Fill up a whole journal with entries, poems, quotes, etc.

26. Get a tattoo of a favorite quote.

27. Visit Alaska.

28. Buy a piece of art from a gallery.

29. Have a piece of art in a gallery.

30. Surf in Hawaii, lay on the beach, watch the sunrise. In that exact order.

31. Experience some of these things with someone I love.

32, Mentor someone.

33. Change someone’s life.


Go out there and make your own list! Cross things off, one by one, year by year. Live and live fully.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
