Five ThingsTo Do Before You Die

We all have a bucket list, or have at least heard of them. Maybe you have been writing your own since you were little or maybe you have just started recently or maybe you haven't started one at all. The point is, you should start and you should have a bucket list. Type it, draw it, write it, make a poem of it. The things on this list are events. places, people that you want meet and visit in your life before you die. Some people complete their bucket lists with their friends and family, while others go at it alone. Take some time to think about the top five things on your bucket list.

1. Travel to new places.

Everyone dreams of traveling the world and that may not be possible for everyone. Pick a few places that you have dreamed of going to and go! Make these the best trips of your life and try new things while you are going around to new places. One idea is to throw a dart at a map and go whenever that dark takes you. This could give you a new perception on life and for things you have never seen before.

2. Spend holidays being happy.

Christmas, Easter, New Years, Halloween, any holiday of the year... The most important thing about them is to be happy. Be with good people and be in good places. Everyone hears about watching the ball drop in Times Square, most of us watch it on television, but everyone should try to experience being there in person once in their life.

3. Get married to the one you love.

Having the perfect wedding, a beautiful dress, delicious food and a great guest list can be every bride's dream. Having the person you love standing next to you making each day better than the last is what really makes that day perfect. Having your friends and family around you both on that special day is what matters. Being in love is a special thing, everyone should experience it at some point in their life. They say when you know you know, so don't rush things.

4. Start a family.

After getting married every couple has the discussion of kids. Kids play a huge role in starting a family and creating something bigger than yourselves. Raising kids and seeing how your family develops can be an amazing feeling. Your family are the people who will love you and cherish you for your whole life. They will be proud of you in your high moments and even in your lowest ones too. Family can be everything if you let it be.

5. Go on adventures.

Take the risks you may have never taken before, take chances that can change your life, and meet new people that can make you a better person. Do something crazy, out of your comfort zone, or an acitivity that you have always had a passion for. Adventures can be big or small as long as you are enjoying life and making the best of every day you have.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
