Live your life to the fullest.

Do the Things That Set Your Soul On Fire

So, it's no secret that sometimes life gets filled to the brim with the boring and mundane things that we all have to do. (Laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.). But, life itself has so much more potential. Yes, I'm well aware of how incredibly cheesy that last sentence came off to be. But, just bear with me for a second.

Is there anything in your life that you're just chomping at the bit to do? Any bucket list items? Any big, spontaneous life changes? I know that I have quite a few items to check off on my personal bucket list.

Here are a few of my goals to check off:

To be able to be lucky enough to get the opportunity to record a three-track demo CD/professional done audio recording of my music. 

I'm a decent lyricist, and I also know my way around sheet music.

Go swimming with dolphins. 

I've always wanted to try this, and who doesn't love dolphins?

To become a better person by fixing some of my character flaws. 

This one is super deep, and I'll be the first to admit I'm not a perfect person. I have quite a few character flaws, but I'd truly love to be a better person tomorrow than the person I am today (as cliche as that sounds!)


I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person out there that has a Bucket List that stretches for miles.

But, what are you going to do to get from where you are right now to where you want to be in the future? What are you doing now to make those goals happen? Are you honing your craft? Are you getting your metaphorical feet wet in your chosen career field? Are you learning how to swim? (If your goal is similar to my aquatic one.)

Bottom line, achieving your life goals is a multi-step process, but it's entirely possible.

So, take the steps, but do the things that set your soul on fire—do the things that make you so insanely happy to be alive.

Live your life to the fullest; one life is all any of us ever has.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
