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

31. Go cliff jumping

32. Experience an out-of-body experience

33. March/protest for something I believe in

34. Buy my parents a vacation

35. Become fluent in Sign Language

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.
