So, I know this might seem like a lot, but I've found that when you make a bucket list and set these goals for yourself, you're much more likely to achieve things. For example, just this year I have been able to cross off going to Poland, Italy, Austria and Germany as well as learning how to play chess and visiting a salt mine.

1. Go to France

Specifically, to see the Mona Lisa.

2. Go to Hawaii

3. Go to Japan

4. Go to Greece

5. Go to London

6. Go to LA

7. Go to Brazil

8. Go to Africa

9. Go to Holland

10. Become fluent in Italian

Even though I made a C in Italian 201.

11. Learn fluent French

Maybe some of my old skills from high school French class will come back to me.

12. Learn fluent Spanish

13. Learn sign language

14. Move to New York

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to live in New York. Before I ever even visited I thought it was the most magical place on Earth.

15. Visit Oneonta Gorge in Oregon

16. Watch the ball drop in Times Square

17. Visit Budapest

18. Go to Mardi Gras

19. Go skydiving

I have a friend who went skydiving twice this year and said it was amazing.

20. Go see Ellen

Because Ellen is my role model.

21. Donate Plasma

This one seems easy, but I actually have a health problem that has prohibited me from donating in the past. But, I have hope that one day I will pass the test.

22. Re-learn piano

23. Take a first aid course

24. Meet a psychic 

25. Attend a presidential inauguration 

26. Sleep in a haunted house

27. Visit Coney Island

28. Feed swimming pigs in Exuma Bahamas

29. Donate 10,000 grains on Freerice

For every question the user answers correctly, 10 grains of rice are donated via the World Food Programme.

30. Learn more about WW1

31. Take my dog to the beach

32. Visit the Edgar Allen Poe Museum 

33. Visit the Full House house in San Francisco 

34. Visit Antelope Canyon in Arizona

35. Take an art class

My actual bucket list is two whole pages long. This is just a condensed and more fun version. There are a few things that I know won't happen anytime soon (like adopting a baby). So these are a little more practical. I also have a couple of really boring ones like learning how to bake bread and finally visiting someone I haven't seen in a few years. I love being able to look at this list that I made years ago and see all the things I've been able to check off. I like to see it and imagine that one day I will have finished everything on the list.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
