Five Things That Should Be On Your Bucket List

In This Article:

Many people have hopes and dreams to accomplish before their life ends. If you're like me, you have your Bucket List carefully thought out. Bucket List's are important because they push people out of their comfort zone and remind people that life is not meant to always be lived in your comfort zone. Here are five things I believe every American should have on their Bucket List...

Visit every state in The United States

https://www.google.com/search?q=Map+of+USA&sa=X&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=PnLf9bx70_OPDM%253A%252CHpQytnz9f9AuDM%252C_&usg=__HZld6SoLdibl5K0I9N6l41pWnHA%3D&ved=0ahUKEwiDmbHj79HbAhVSw1kKHQcVCIsQ9QEIMTAD#imgdii=ZD7HdGshsxR6fM:&imgrc=9aZ5wniQOYjMfM:

With 50 states making up the US, there is so much more the United States has to offer than what you are always surrounded by. I believe it is imperative for every American to be able to fully experience everything our beautiful country has to offer. From the beaches in California, to the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the Empire state building in New York, or even Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. With 50 very unique states, I do not want to feel like I was deprived of any American experience.

Skydiving

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=dbMhW_-gJI-d5gKsp5WYCA&q=skydiving&oq=skydiving&gs_l=img.3...0.0.1.1265.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.img..0.0.0....0.ddSXVByingY#imgrc=DsWytWVaKQHxKM:

Skydiving is an experience that I want to have before I die. I believe it is important to face your fears and partake in things that get your heart racing. These are the things that help us make extraordinary memories. Even though I have a fear of heights, I still want to go skydiving because I do not want to die knowing I let my fears overtake my life.

Travel to Europe

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=VbQhW4v5AeWc5wL3sLOgBw&q=Europe+real+image&oq=Europe+real+image&gs_l=img.3...4907.8079.0.8674.11.11.0.0.0.0.289.979.8j1j1.10.0....0...1c.1.64.img..1.6.702...0j0i30k1j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.0.Yw4arYnfvpg#imgrc=hltXjHnIlYs8lM:

Although I believe it is important to visit places in the United States, when I traveled to Costa Rica I realized that other countries are full of different cultures and experiences. Europe is a beautiful continent comprised of many very famous countries like Italy, France and England. Being able to visit Europe before your life ends would allow you to live differently for the time you are out of the country. Exposing yourself to new cultures, foods and languages is another way to push yourself out of your comfort zone and really learn about the beauties of living.

Do a color run

https://www.google.com/search?q=color+run&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsnZTF8tHbAhXOs1kKHYmcA2UQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=-7wzeyRKZV-I0M:

S color run is another thing that I want to experience before I die. Color runs are full of energy and excitement. If you are like me, running long distances is not one of my strong suits so since the color run is 3.1 miles (5 kilometers), it is something I can accomplish.

Ride in a hot air balloon

https://www.google.com/search?q=hot+air+balloon&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjS4eSl89HbAhXIjVkKHSVfAIMQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=vw_v5yqzdUwOFM:

Hot air balloons are always something I have found very fascinating. Being so high up in a semi-open environment would allow you to have a perfect view of your surroundings.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
