Five Things That Should Be On Your Bucket List

Many people have hopes and dreams to accomplish before their life ends. If you're like me, you have your Bucket List carefully thought out. Bucket List's are important because they push people out of their comfort zone and remind people that life is not meant to always be lived in your comfort zone. Here are five things I believe every American should have on their Bucket List...

Visit every state in The United States

https://www.google.com/search?q=Map+of+USA&sa=X&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=PnLf9bx70_OPDM%253A%252CHpQytnz9f9AuDM%252C_&usg=__HZld6SoLdibl5K0I9N6l41pWnHA%3D&ved=0ahUKEwiDmbHj79HbAhVSw1kKHQcVCIsQ9QEIMTAD#imgdii=ZD7HdGshsxR6fM:&imgrc=9aZ5wniQOYjMfM:

With 50 states making up the US, there is so much more the United States has to offer than what you are always surrounded by. I believe it is imperative for every American to be able to fully experience everything our beautiful country has to offer. From the beaches in California, to the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the Empire state building in New York, or even Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. With 50 very unique states, I do not want to feel like I was deprived of any American experience.

Skydiving

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=dbMhW_-gJI-d5gKsp5WYCA&q=skydiving&oq=skydiving&gs_l=img.3...0.0.1.1265.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.img..0.0.0....0.ddSXVByingY#imgrc=DsWytWVaKQHxKM:

Skydiving is an experience that I want to have before I die. I believe it is important to face your fears and partake in things that get your heart racing. These are the things that help us make extraordinary memories. Even though I have a fear of heights, I still want to go skydiving because I do not want to die knowing I let my fears overtake my life.

Travel to Europe

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=VbQhW4v5AeWc5wL3sLOgBw&q=Europe+real+image&oq=Europe+real+image&gs_l=img.3...4907.8079.0.8674.11.11.0.0.0.0.289.979.8j1j1.10.0....0...1c.1.64.img..1.6.702...0j0i30k1j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.0.Yw4arYnfvpg#imgrc=hltXjHnIlYs8lM:

Although I believe it is important to visit places in the United States, when I traveled to Costa Rica I realized that other countries are full of different cultures and experiences. Europe is a beautiful continent comprised of many very famous countries like Italy, France and England. Being able to visit Europe before your life ends would allow you to live differently for the time you are out of the country. Exposing yourself to new cultures, foods and languages is another way to push yourself out of your comfort zone and really learn about the beauties of living.

Do a color run

https://www.google.com/search?q=color+run&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsnZTF8tHbAhXOs1kKHYmcA2UQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=-7wzeyRKZV-I0M:

S color run is another thing that I want to experience before I die. Color runs are full of energy and excitement. If you are like me, running long distances is not one of my strong suits so since the color run is 3.1 miles (5 kilometers), it is something I can accomplish.

Ride in a hot air balloon

https://www.google.com/search?q=hot+air+balloon&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjS4eSl89HbAhXIjVkKHSVfAIMQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=vw_v5yqzdUwOFM:

Hot air balloons are always something I have found very fascinating. Being so high up in a semi-open environment would allow you to have a perfect view of your surroundings.

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.
