It's fun to create bucket lists that describe all the monumental activities you plan to accomplish during your life, but it is also important to remind yourself of all the things you won't ever do again—and why. Here is my open list of 29 things I won't ever do again during my lifetime:

1. Watch the British version of "The Office"

Let's be honest, it's not as funny as the Steve Carell version.

2. Mistake blue cheese for ranch dressing at buffets

A revolting accident that will never be repeated.

3. Eat Cookie Crisp cereal for breakfast

Sorry, but it's not as yummy as it once used to be.

4. Drive too fast on a gravel road

Let's all take a moment to remember what happened last year.

5. Forget to wear sunscreen on a sunny day

Because no one likes a sunburn.

6. Eat a hot dog

Sooooooo nasty. And who even knows what they are made of?

7. Play the Monopoly board game

It takes forever to finish and it's just so boring. Especially if you can't be the car.

8. Forget to carry cash in the summertime

Hello, local cash-only ice cream shops!

9. Go on a water ride at an amusement park

Without a full change of clothes, at least.

10. Eat too much birthday cake in one sitting

Birthday cake, I love you, but in small doses.

11. Take another public speaking class

Or speak in public again, for that matter.

12. Wait until the last minute to fill my car up with gas

It's a real problem, and I'm working on it.

13. Transfer to a different college

I've had just about enough of the "transfer experience."

14. Date or romantically pursue another person aside from my husband

Because I love him with all of my heart, and that's that!

15. Eat ham on Thanksgiving day

Come to think of it, I won't eat most Thanksgiving foods ever again.

16. Join a college marching band

I did that once, and it was kind of awful.

17. Enroll in another college program, period

Sorry college, but after this round, I'm totally done.

18. Watch the movie "Les Misérables"

Throwback to the time my best friend (now husband) and I agreed to stop watching it after 20 miserable minutes.

19. Eat a toasted sandwich from Subway

Warm turkey slices = gross!

20. Create another social media profile

Social media is just too much work for me.

21. Visit the south without eating at least a gallon's worth of Blue Bell ice cream

You're the real MVP of ice cream, Blue Bell.

22. Put my homework ahead of my personal happiness

I've been putting way too much emphasis on my homework lately, and I want to start addressing it in a more healthy way.

23. Watch another superhero movie (of any kind)

Sorry, but I've never been a fan of superheroes.

24. Worry about my weight or how my body looks

You know "pretty" is a socially-constructed concept, right?

25. Eat too many Texas Roadhouse rolls before my food arrives

The struggle is real, but I'm trying really hard to practice self-control.

26. Watch a NASCAR race of any kind

Sorry, but I still haven't quite figured out the point of racing.

27. Eat bacon on a cheeseburger

Because I absolutely despise bacon.

28. See a movie without buying a large bag of popcorn (with extra butter) first

You only live once, so it might as well be extra buttery.

29. Forget to smile every day

Because life deserves to be celebrated!

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.
