So, I know this might seem like a lot, but I've found that when you make a bucket list and set these goals for yourself, you're much more likely to achieve things. For example, just this year I have been able to cross off going to Poland, Italy, Austria and Germany as well as learning how to play chess and visiting a salt mine.

1. Go to France

Specifically, to see the Mona Lisa.

2. Go to Hawaii

3. Go to Japan

4. Go to Greece

5. Go to London

6. Go to LA

7. Go to Brazil

8. Go to Africa

9. Go to Holland

10. Become fluent in Italian

Even though I made a C in Italian 201.

11. Learn fluent French

Maybe some of my old skills from high school French class will come back to me.

12. Learn fluent Spanish

13. Learn sign language

14. Move to New York

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to live in New York. Before I ever even visited I thought it was the most magical place on Earth.

15. Visit Oneonta Gorge in Oregon

16. Watch the ball drop in Times Square

17. Visit Budapest

18. Go to Mardi Gras

19. Go skydiving

I have a friend who went skydiving twice this year and said it was amazing.

20. Go see Ellen

Because Ellen is my role model.

21. Donate Plasma

This one seems easy, but I actually have a health problem that has prohibited me from donating in the past. But, I have hope that one day I will pass the test.

22. Re-learn piano

23. Take a first aid course

24. Meet a psychic 

25. Attend a presidential inauguration 

26. Sleep in a haunted house

27. Visit Coney Island

28. Feed swimming pigs in Exuma Bahamas

29. Donate 10,000 grains on Freerice

For every question the user answers correctly, 10 grains of rice are donated via the World Food Programme.

30. Learn more about WW1

31. Take my dog to the beach

32. Visit the Edgar Allen Poe Museum 

33. Visit the Full House house in San Francisco 

34. Visit Antelope Canyon in Arizona

35. Take an art class

My actual bucket list is two whole pages long. This is just a condensed and more fun version. There are a few things that I know won't happen anytime soon (like adopting a baby). So these are a little more practical. I also have a couple of really boring ones like learning how to bake bread and finally visiting someone I haven't seen in a few years. I love being able to look at this list that I made years ago and see all the things I've been able to check off. I like to see it and imagine that one day I will have finished everything on the list.

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.
