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.

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.
