  1. You won’t have to worry about weird ridges tipping the candle over.
  2. You can cut a huge hole to access the inside and no one will be able to tell.
  3. If the candle is lopsided you can use this to stabilize and even it out.
  4. You don’t have to worry about the top of the pumpkin falling.
  5. You can hold the stem of the pumpkin and hit in on the ground to get the guts out.
  1. Cut upside down triangles for the eyes.
  2. Try tiny slits for teeth instead of huge gaps.
  3. Use square shapes instead of triangular.
  4. Cut the entire pumpkin through the middle. Just leave enough to support the top half.
  5. “Destroy” your pumpkin and use it anyway.
  1. Draw before you cut. Waterproof markers work best.
  2. Use large spoons instead of the cheap plastic scoops you find it sets.
  3. Carve outside. Less mess.
  4. Carve over papers. Then bundle it all up and toss it out.
  5. Pumpkins get slippery when carved. Keep a rag nearby to wipe it down, or your pumpkin may slip and end up destroyed.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
