We all have a bucket list, but will we ever actually complete it? I set a time limit on my bucket list so I would be more motivated to complete each task.

1. Have my own place.

I feel like this is a given. By the age of 21, I should be a junior in college. I should have my own house/apartment by this time.

2. Take a roadtrip with my best girl friends

Road trips are so much fun, but girl friends could make it SO much better.

3. Have my own puppy

My family has had puppies before, but I've never had the full responsibility of having my own pup.

4. Travel to a place i've never been before

Whether it's a city 30 minutes from me or a whole different state, I just want to explore somewhere outside of my hometown.

5. Take a risk

Swimming with sharks? Sky diving? Cliff jumping? I'm not sure which I'll tackle, but I definitely want to try at least one of these activites.

6. Travel out of the country

I've been all over the united state, and I loved it! However, I want to be able to explore another country and its culture.

7. Start a collection

Of what? I don't know yet, but I think It'd be so cool to find something that I'm really passionate about and to collect whatever that is.

8. Overcome a fear

I have fears of public speaking, the ocean, and the dark. Maybe one of these days, I can face my fear and conquer it.

9. Run (or attempt to) a marathon

I am SO out of shape; however, I want to attempt a marthon just to see how far I could make it.

10. Learn how to cook a real meal

So far, the only food I can is grilled cheeses. They're really good grilled cheeses, but I can't live off them forever.

11. See a musicalĀ 

I love musicals, but I've never seen a live one.

12. Go to a music festival

Hangout Fest, VooDoo, Coachella, or even one that I've never heard of. A music festival would be such a fun experience with amazing memories.

13. Have an exercise routine

I always tell myself that I want to excercise more; however, it never really happens. I want to be able to put in place a daily workout routine to keep me healthy.

14. Camp in an actual tent

I've camped in a camper before, but I really want to go old school and camp with just a tent and sleeping bags. I may even do it in my own backyard.

I have always heard sayings like "Why study art? Why not Engineering, Science or Commerce?", "Art won't get you anywhere," "Art is useless," "You won't get a proper job" etc. I have also heard of situations of the school board planning to cut arts in schools, thinking that students won't do well in their education. Well, you know what, you all are wrong! Arts make a huge impact on our lives! Here are the reasons why art is Important.

It's not as easy as it sounds.

While the idea of free time without a stressful job or an abundance of schoolwork looming over your head may sound like a dream, it can be a nightmare at times. Having a couple of days to decompress is needed for a healthy mind and body. But when too many days go by, it can cause a downward spiral of thoughts and feelings.

As a recent jobless graduate, I was ecstatic to be free from responsibility and take a break from my normal life. That was until I realized just how responsible I had been and needed to be to continue being self-sustained. I learned a few things in this month of unemployment that encouraged me to find a job as soon as possible.
