Sometimes time seems to speed by so fast. Take this year for example, it feels like just yesterday I was graduating from high school, but when I step back and realize that my freshman year of college is a few weeks from being over, I freak out a little. That means there's only three more years left of what is supposedly "the best time of your life."

It's crazy to think about all of the things I want to do and places I want to see in the next three years before I graduate college and have to be a responsible adult in the real world. Then I wonder how I will possibly have time to do them all. I've discovered that one of the best ways to plan out the endless list of things people want to do during their rapidly decreasing time in college is to make a bucket list.

I have my own bucket list that I continuously update which may inspire and give some people ideas. It helps to keep me excited for the future and also motivated to do well in school. My personal list doesn't necessarily have to be completed in college, just hopefully during my lifetime.

• Camp out on the beach
• Skydive
• Scuba dive/go snorkeling
• Get a tattoo
• Study abroad
• Get an internship in NYC
• Complete a triathlon
• Fly in a hot air balloon
• Hike in the Grand Canyon
• Witness a solar eclipse
• Go on a blind date
• Learn to cook
• Have my own Dachshund
• Play a new instrument
• Fluently speak a foreign language
• Walk on the red carpet
• Go to Coachella music festival
• Make a 4.0

Our futures are bright and full of adventures waiting to be found. I encourage everyone to make their own unique bucket list to outline your goals to achieve, dreams to fulfill, and life experiences you're just dying to do one day.
