The Bucket List
https://www.pinterest.com/banningmillszip/historic-banning-mills/

When I was 15, I started making a bucket list and now, seven years later, I'm happy I started making it when I was younger. Turns out, things that I wanted to do when I was 15 I am willing to try now; even if I don't like it afterwards at least I will try. So here are 40 things I want to do before I die... and maybe some of them you might consider too...

1. Visit All 50 states.

2. Visit all the continents... or as many as countries as possible.

3. Go paintballing in an abandoned high school or college.

4. Meet one of my favorite actors/actresses from my favorite movie.

5. Go to a winery in northern Italy.

6. Graduate college.

7. Own a German Shepherd... or two... yeah, just two.

8. Watch my future kids grow up and succeed in whatever they want to do.

9. Never stop volunteering.

10. God dog sledding in Alaska.

11. Go scuba diving.

12. Swim with the dolphins.

13. Hold a shark.

14. Hike a trail in every state park.

15. Kiss a sea lion.

16. Swim with sharks.

17. Write a book.

18. Go on a cruise.

19. Go to a drive-in movie.

20. Learn to ballroom dance.

21. Learn to swing dance.

22. See Ellen... live with my two sisters (who are obsessed).

23. Have a professional photo shoot.

24. Spend the day at a resort spa.

25. Sleep in a castle.

26. Send a message in a bottle.

27. Watch my significant other succeed in what he loves to do.

28. Go deep sea fishing.

29. Start a not for profit organization.

30. Learn sign language.

31. Skydive.

32. Go to Nascar/Drive a racecar.

33. Skeet shoot.

34. Fly on a private jet.

35. Drive Route 66 while listening to "Route 66."

36. Ride a bike.

37. Shop at the European Christmas markets.

38. Work in Europe for a summer.

39. Go to a Manchester United game in England.

40. Get married... once and live the best life possible.


Sometimes it's nice to have a bucket list when you're young. You only have one life, so why are you going to wait until you're 40 to do it? Go make memories!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
