31 Bucket List Cross Offs After Your WebMD Diagnosis
Free Spirit

The day started off as a normal day and everything was going perfectly fine until you got a headache. You've taken a few aspirins but nothing is working...so you do the inevitable and look up your symptoms. If you're anything like me, you already believe that this is the end of the world. Now you have an even bigger problem on your hands. Your simple (most likely tension) headache, is now a brain tumor because WebMD says so. Well, if you're in that boat, I've come up with a month's worth of bucket list items that you need to check off ASAP because you don't have much longer!


  1. Work your 9 a.m.-5 p.m. shift while singing 9 to 5 all day long.
  2. Quit your job: You don't need it anymore. I mean, you don't even like going there every single day. There's only room for happiness and relaxation from this point on. Let's get to it.
  3. Go to a trampoline park: An entire building full of bouncy kid-like fun? Yes please.
  4. Jump on a water trampoline: Because why not add water to the fun?
  5. Play a game of paint Twister: Ten times messier. Ten times more fun.
  6. Stargaze in the back of a pickup truck: Especially, if you live in the city and never see the stars because of smog/lights. Drive out into the most rural part of town that you can find and do this. You won't regret it.
  7. Dye your hair a crazy color: If you can't decide on a color, just tell the hairdresser to "surprise you". That always works for the best. #AmIRight ?
  8. Try every Ben & Jerry’s flavor.
  9. Pretend to be famous for a day: No flash photography please.
  10. Go swimming in the rain and/or go skinny dipping: There's really no underlying motive behind this one beside the sense of freedom and fun you'll have.
  11. Horseback ride in the ocean: Apparently this is a thing and it needs to happen right now. Actually just stop reading this list and go find a location that hosts this. You get the experience the beach without putting in all the work of swimming/walking.
  12. Visit Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: Breath-taking. It's one of the World's largest salt flats.
  13. Go to a music festival: Coachella, Bonaroo, ULTRA, Lollapalooza, SXSW. Pick one that fits your style. (Although I'm sure you'd have a blast at just about any one of them you went to).
  14. Go to a Masquerade:
  15. Ride a gondola: If the gondolier doesn't sing to you, find another one and try again.
  16. Go Fly-boarding: This shouldn't even take much convincing. Look at how awesome this looks!
  17. Rent a beach house:
  18. Paddle board in the Grand Canyon:
  19. Throw a party on a yacht: This is your little taste of living like Beyonce.
  20. Experience zero gravity: Just call me Buzz. (Aldrin not Lightyear).
  21. Take a trip to New Orleans: This place is oozing with culture. It's a MUST.
  22. Walk on hot coals: This is risky and you totally have to commit if you plan on this one being successful.
  23. Ride a camel in the desert: When in Rome. (Or Africa).
  24. Mattress surf: You've been wanting to do this since you saw The Princess Diaries 2.
  25. Plant a tree: You can't forget to give back!
  26. Go to a drive-in movie:
  27. Visit the Great Wall of China:
  28. Attend a Hawaiian luau:
  29. Visit the South (Southern United States) and binge eat all the BBQ you can find:
  30. Go to the doctor for a professional diagnosis: This probably should've been done way earlier in the month, however, you wouldn't have really had the chance to ditch your old life and live like you wanted to.
  31. Beg for your job back: After you figure out you’re not actually about to die & attempt to piece back together your entire life (as you knew it before you decided to go off the deep end). Also, you'll need to seek financial advising immediately because unless you're made of money, there's absolutely no way you're going to easily bounce back from the debt you've accrued.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
