My Anti-Bucket List

The things I don't want to do before I die

Feb 21, 2017

The Anti-Bucket List. Let me explain...Most people know or have a Bucket List-a series of things a person wants to do or places they want to travel before they "kick the bucket."

An Anti-bucket list is a list of all the things a person DOESN'T want to do before they die.

Some of these things might be on someone's bucket list, but they certainly are not on mine. This idea has definitely intrigued me the past few weeks and it was certainly hard to come up with things. I am open to sky-diving and swimming with sharks...trying fun adventurous things...so it was really challenging and enjoyable to figure out what I don't want to do before I die:

1.Ice fishing

Not a fan of fishing. Or freezing.

2.Skiing/snowboarding

I really do not like being cold.

3.Be a member of a studio audience

There's a difference in watching Trashy TV and being on Trashy TV

4.Spend the night in a haunted place

I think I am too late on this one.... @Montevallo

5.See a tornado touch ground

I saw the movie Wizard of OZ, Twister, and Sharknado. That was enough windy spirals of death.

6.Go to a nudist colony

Why is this even a thing.

7.Ride a bull

Not even if its a bull named Fumanchu.

8.Crowd surf

Maybe its that a ton of dirty sweaty strangers touching me doesn't sound appealing or maybe I have seen too many movies where its gone wrong.

9.Tour the White house

Give me a tour of a castle instead!

10.Go vegan

One word: Steak.

11.Serve on a jury

I have seen Legally Blonde and that is all the courtroom experience I hope to have.

12.Go to the bathroom in a port a potty ever again.

Give me a bush instead

13.Do drugs

I don't mean Advil here kiddos...

14.Go to prison/get arrested

I am too much of a Bubble Blowing Baby to go to Prison.

15.Get an oil painting of myself

Maybe of my future pet though...

16.Eat worms

Unless in gummy form.

17. Go hunting

Hiking in the woods in ridiculous clothing? I can do that. Shooting an innocent animal for FUN? No, Thank you and goodnight.

Now of course I can't say "never means never," but certainly these are things I hope I never do. These things on the other hand do help me narrow down what I do want to do in my life time and are very interesting to think about. I hope you're inspired enough to make your own "Anti-Bucket List" or even a regular one!

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
