10 Things To Do Before I Die
Why Is Marko

"Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious." – Phillips Brooks

They say that life is short. Be that as it may, whether it feels like you were born yesterday or in fact 20 years ago, time passes quicker than it seems in the moment. Even though sitting in class for 15 minutes staring at the clock goes a lot slower than 15 minutes watching Netflix, the same amount of time passes and eventually that class ends and the time that you spend looking at the clock turns into something to pass the time and before you know it, class is over and you're three credits closer to graduating.

I think it's important to make a bucket list. As cliché as it might be, we have to live the time that we have left doing the things that we love with the people who matter. So here we go:

1. Bungee jump

Although I'm terrified of heights sometimes.

2. Climb Mount Everest

I would love to see the breathtaking view in person.

3. Solve a crime

No matter how big or how small, I want to play a police officer for a day.

4. Live by the Kennedy's motto

"No apologies, no explanations."

5. Feed a koala

This one doesn't need an explanation.

6. Name a star

Wouldn't it be cool to have a star with your name? Even if just for the story.

7. Paint a mural

But ...

8. Learn how to paint

There was a twist.

9. Write a book & publish It

Mainly just to see if you can do it.

10. Blow glass

I can't be the only one extremely enticed by these videos.

Now it's your turn. Make a bucket list of as many things as you'd like because tomorrow is not promised.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
