From the random minuscule to the tremendous things that I think about doing before I finish college or life, my bucket list is constantly growing.

Just today, I decided that I want to sit on every bench on Fairfield's campus before I graduate, even though that has no reasoning behind it. I think that we have so much time on earth, and even though I might not be able to get to do everything on my list, it’s fun to have and try.

Some items just happen in the moment and others such as going ski-diving might take more planning. I hope that I can accomplish my list and that you can find inspiration for your own list.

1. Visit every continent

2. Go ski-diving

3. Write an autobiography to my future children

4. Find my passion

5. Swim with dolphins

6. Sing karaoke in a public place (even though I can’t sing to save my life)

7. Go to a painting bar

8. Buy a plane ticket to a random location at the airport

9. Join a club that has no correlation to my life

10. Join a book club (I’ll probably do that when I’m older)

11. Do a cartwheel on a major league sports team's court/field

12. Do some type of marathon

13. Go zip-lining in the forest

14. Go scuba-diving

15. Go paragliding

16. Get certified to do something

17. Climb a mountain

18. Go on a real hike

19. Give a stranger a gift

20. Throw someone you care about a surprise party for no reason

21. Volunteer to make a difference

22. Watch the sunrise

23. Leave a random person a note

24. Throw the biggest banger of all time

25. Do a crazy hairstyle

26. Learn how to ballroom dance (even though I don’t think I’ll ever need that skill)

27. Learn how to play another instrument

28. Learn how to box

29. Learn how to cook

30. Start driving with no location in mind and go on a road trip

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
