From the random minuscule to the tremendous things that I think about doing before I finish college or life, my bucket list is constantly growing.

Just today, I decided that I want to sit on every bench on Fairfield's campus before I graduate, even though that has no reasoning behind it. I think that we have so much time on earth, and even though I might not be able to get to do everything on my list, it’s fun to have and try.

Some items just happen in the moment and others such as going ski-diving might take more planning. I hope that I can accomplish my list and that you can find inspiration for your own list.

1. Visit every continent

2. Go ski-diving

3. Write an autobiography to my future children

4. Find my passion

5. Swim with dolphins

6. Sing karaoke in a public place (even though I can’t sing to save my life)

7. Go to a painting bar

8. Buy a plane ticket to a random location at the airport

9. Join a club that has no correlation to my life

10. Join a book club (I’ll probably do that when I’m older)

11. Do a cartwheel on a major league sports team's court/field

12. Do some type of marathon

13. Go zip-lining in the forest

14. Go scuba-diving

15. Go paragliding

16. Get certified to do something

17. Climb a mountain

18. Go on a real hike

19. Give a stranger a gift

20. Throw someone you care about a surprise party for no reason

21. Volunteer to make a difference

22. Watch the sunrise

23. Leave a random person a note

24. Throw the biggest banger of all time

25. Do a crazy hairstyle

26. Learn how to ballroom dance (even though I don’t think I’ll ever need that skill)

27. Learn how to play another instrument

28. Learn how to box

29. Learn how to cook

30. Start driving with no location in mind and go on a road trip

31. Go cliff jumping

32. Experience an out-of-body experience

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
