The Ultimate Summer Bucket LIst

The season that most of us have been waiting for since it ended is finally here. Summer! Now lets face the facts. With a minimal budget, how many bucket list items can one complete? To live and learn, sometimes we need to sacrifice some money, but there are still cheaper options. Now here is a list of some awesome things that you can do this summer to achieve a peak of no regret.

1. Go skydiving

This one might be cliche, but I was compelled to include it. This is for the adventurous risk-takers.

2. Get a professional massage

What would summer be if you couldn't relax for once?

3. Go somewhere exotic

And I am not talking about somewhere that exotic invasive species have taken over, like in the middle of Africa. I am suggesting somewhere safe that you have never thought about traveling to. It could be a humid as Cape Verde, Africa, or as chilly as Bavarian Alps, Germany.

4. Eat at a place you cannot afford

If you go to a place that charges $150 per plate, then you may actually become thankful that you have never eaten there before. Instead of continuously longing to eat at a "rich" restaurant, you will learn from your mistakes and never go to one ever again. You will learn that you wasted a week's pay on a two-by-two inch piece of flounder. You will be oddly satisfied that you took such a risk.

5. Take a hike

Literally do this. This one is for people who like a good workout and a great challenge.

6. Make an investment

It could be anything from property to raw material to debt.

7. Buy a pet

Whether it's as large as a great dane or as tiny as a neon tetra, pets seem to bring content to a household.

8. Get a piercing or tattoo

I'm personally not a fan of tattoos, but if you are then go ahead and get a new arm sleeve. Piercings are only fun when they are in the right places and only changes your appearance to an extent.

9. Go scuba diving

To do this with sharks would be ideal. Who doesn't like the feel of adrenaline rushing through their body?

10. Get in shape

Even if it only lasts a couple of weeks, go on a food diet and exercise a ton! You will feel great and be proud once you finish.

11. Do something to give back to the community

It could be a community service task like cleaning up litter, or it could just be buying a meal for a homeless person who is begging on the street. This inner good will have a lasting effect on your soul.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
