Screw getting kissed under a mistletoe, I wanna save a life.

Not Your Typical Bucket List
zincmoon.com

"Swim with dolphins, travel the world, get a tattoo, go to a rave, go bungee jumping, sleep under the stars, be kissed under the Eiffel Tower..." All of these activities sound absolutely amazing and I'd love to do each and every single on of them, however these are items that can be found on most people's bucket lists. Again, I want to do all of these things and there's no shame in having any of them on your bucket list. However, I wanted to go a little deeper into my bucket list, look past the clichés and set goals to do things that most of us often overlook. Here's my "not-so-typical" bucket list.

1. Cut an important ribbon with a really big pair of scissors.

2. Win a raffle.

3. Treat the person behind me in line for coffee.

4. Go to the movies by myself.

5. Get a Pen Pal from another country.

6. Domesticate a sick or abandoned wild animal.

7. Adopt a child.

8. Become a foster parent.


9. Be financially comfortable on my own and not have to rely on anyone to provide for me.

10. Witness a miracle.

11. Pay it forward.

12. Get a minion (yes, the little yellow things) from every country.


13. Save a life.

14. Deliver a baby (I'm a health science major, that shit interests me) and witness the miracle of life.

As you can see my bucket list is still in the making...if you have any awesome ideas for me to add, please comment below! Hope you can even add some of these to your own "not-so-typical" bucket list! :)

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
