10 Random Bucket List Items For A Well-Rounded Life
Samuel Scrimshaw

Last year, on one of the many nights I couldn't sleep, I was searching for something to do. I ended up deciding to create a bucket list. I've always had a lot of ideas on things I want to accomplish. In the end, my bucket list contained over 100 different items. Here are 10 of the random ones.

1. Witness the northern lights.

Why? Every photo I've seen of the Northern Lights is absolutely breathtaking. I want to witness it for myself. It's a celestial event that I've always admired.

2. Publish a book.

Why? For as long as I can remember, I've loved writing. I'm always working on book ideas. To see my creation on shelves in bookstores would be a dream come true.

3. Map my family tree.

Why? Family history has always been an interest to me. This goal is because, as a history lover, I'd love to know who I'm related to and where I come. The path to me could be a very interesting one and I want to figure it out.

4. Go hiking in the Rocky Mountains.

Why? I want to be able to say I've climbed a mountain.

5. Learn to snowboard.

Why? This is simply just a skill I've always wanted to learn. I'm pretty confident I'll struggle with it and take a few tumbles, but it's something I'm eager to learn.

6. Complete 1000-piece puzzle.

Why? I love to figure things out. I enjoy doing puzzles. I've never had the time to sit down to finish such a big puzzle, so the challenge of a 1000 piece puzzle is something I'd like to conquer.

7. Go to a Comic-Con

Why? As a very proud nerd, I have to attend at least one comic con. This is actually a two-part thing on my bucket list. I want to go to the Indianapolis Comic Con, but eventually, I want to attend the Los Angeles Comic Con since it's so iconic.

8. Attend a book signing.

Why? I've always had a deep love of books. I've spent a great deal of my life with my nose stuck in a book. To be able to meet a published author and have a signed copy of their book would be a great experience to have.

9. Start a blog.

Why? As a writer, blogging is something I've heard that can be very helpful to improving your writing. I'm actually in the beginning of planning to finally start my own blog.

10. Learn to juggle.

Why? It has always been something that's intrigued me. I've attempted to learn to juggle things and fail miserably. I find jugglers to be super talented and I'd love to be in the percentage of people who can juggle.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
