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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time.
