Ideas to get you started on your own bucket list.

Bucket List

Many of us have been warned by those who have come before us to make sure we live life without regret. We need to seize the proverbial day! However, with life extending on into the long off future many of us fail to do this. We miss the things we would want to do, or at least want to try at least once. A bucket list is a good way to make sure you have it laid out. A way to have a tangible list to mark off, and add to as ideas creep into your head. They don’t need to make sense, and they don’t need to be appreciated by everyone, they just need to inspire you.

To get you all started I thought I’d share some of my list, and explain some of the more obscure ones, show some I’ve finished, and just inspire creativity in yours.


1. Swim while wearing a suit (to be truthful, this was a bad day for me, and I needed to cross something off my list so this seemed doable with UTK’s pool down the road)

2. Eat a scorpion (very easy to do when the scorpion is embedded in a lollipop)

3. Get a tattoo

4. Get a tattoo of an advertisement

5. Steal my own painting from an art gallery (It will happen, and I will pay the artist any damages that happen to the painting)

6. Have an artwork of mine in a gallery

7.Design an album cover for a band

8. Skydive

9. Publish a book

10. Bleach my hair white

11. Fluently learn Spanish

12. Travel through India

13. Travel to Rome

14. Learn to snowboard

15. Be an extra in a zombie movie

16. Run a zombie 5k

17. Become a vegetarian (May have to cheat and eat seafood though)

18. Fold a 1000 origami cranes in one year to get a wish. (tried and got to 576 before giving up)

19. Learn sign language

20. Make an earth sandwich (look it up)

21. Make up a religion and get it recognized by the us government (accepting applications to join now)

Be creative with your list, and leave suggestions for ones you think everyone should try to do.

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.
