I was inspired to write my anti-bucket list after seeing a photo of a bucket that stated, "What's your anti-bucket list?" and I decided to come up with a list of actions or decisions I will never make again for my own well-being.

I recommend that everyone make an anti-bucket list to remind themselves of the things they will never do again for the sake of happiness and wellness.

Here is my anti-bucket list:

Smoke cigarettes

Giphy

I was a smoker for about a year or so and it's a disgusting habit. I'll never put a cancer stick in my mouth ever again.

Allow yourself to be treated poorly in a relationship

I learned the hard way more than once that if you allow someone to treat you poorly - they will. I made a decision a long time ago that I was done being treated like trash.

Let your past define who you are

My past has affected me, but I refuse to let it define me and get in the way of my ambitions, dreams and goals. I am not my past and I never will be.

Allow yourself to be a doormat

Giphy

I'm a chronic people pleaser, which is a result of my upbringing, but the more I work on myself and know my self-worth, the less I allow myself to be walked all over on.

Shave off your eyebrows

Giphy

I did this when I was 14 and they've never been the same.

Use a tanning bed

Giphy

Tanning beds are just hot box cancer cocoons. Premature aging and skin cancer are not worth spending 20 minutes cooking your poor skin. Now I make sure I don't leave the house without sunscreen on if I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time.

Pull an all-nighter

Giphy

I can't do it anymore - my body simply won't let me. Thank goodness I'm done with school.

Dye your hair a drastically different color

Giphy

I look AWFUL as a blonde.

Go to bed with makeup on

Giphy

I've only done this once or twice, but it's such a gross feeling to wake up all sweaty with last night's makeup on your face.

Keep toxic people in your life

If someone is pulling me down, I'm going to let them go. Life is too short to be worn down by toxic people. If someone doesn't bring you joy and happiness, move on.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
