What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?

As a young college student almost halfway done with her college career, I often think about a lot of things. Too many things to be honest, and sometimes in the process of thinking about those too many things, I often ponder about the future. As college students, we often think about what we want to accomplish and strive in not just after college but throughout our whole entire life. We make these hopes, dreams, and have these kinds of ambitions to keep us alive, and even though they may seem a bit unrealistic, they are definitely possible.

Overall, no matter what happens from now until the end of your lifetime, start thinking about what kind of legacy you want to leave on this earth. Most importantly, begin to initiate what kinds of activities, milestones, and goals you aspire to reach.

Here are the top 10 things everyone, especially college students, should want to do before they die:

1. Go to Coachella!

I know this is totally random but if you love music, Coachella is the place to be throughout any time of your life. Coachella has days full of the latest hottest music artists, bands, and all different kinds of music genre concerts that happen within the span of an entire week. It's fun, crazy, wild, and something memorable everyone should experience.


2. Buy your dream house/build your own house!

Everyone wants to have something that they can call their own. So, why not have your own property one day? Buying a house is a really big responsibility but one of the best milestone anyone should try to achieve within their lives.

3. Travel to the place of your dreams!

Go on your ultimate dream vacation! Don't miss out on that opportunity to travel to that place you always wanted to go to as a kid. Entice in your well-being by taking your time to see the world.

4. Write your own book!

Become an author and possibly a NY Times BestSeller! Write what you are passionate about and share your wisdom with others. Writing your own novel or fanfiction and getting it published will surely stand out.

5. Get married or be in a long-lasting committed relationship!

I know everyone does not wish to get married or have children but why not at least spend or find that one special person you want to absolutely spend the rest of your life, with even if marriage is not in the picture. Find love within yourself and your significant other.

6. Do something daring/challenging/exciting outside of your comfort zone.

Do something that you don't want to end up later regretting because you never tried it. Don't second guess yourself, just be spontaneous at least once and go bungy jumping, skydiving, or parasailing.


7. Buy a really nice car/your dream car.

Everyone wants to gain that independence of driving and getting their first car. But what about being able to buy your own car once your career is set? Save up to own your car one day, not lease but own! There's a difference because owning the car that you've always wanted is a great sign of success.

8. Have an established career that you actually enjoy throughout your life!

Wake up happy and looking forward to going to your job every single day. Work for a company that puts its employees first rather than money.

9. Try out for a competition to receive an award.

Maybe you've always had a hidden talent of singing, dancing, or cooking. Why not try out for "The Voice", "Hell's Kitchen", or "So You Think You Can Dance?"

10. Find who you truly are, discover your closest friends, and cherish your family.

I know this last one is a bit cliche but we all need these three things for our lives to be fully complete.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
