A bucket list is a great way to set goals of the things you want to do before you die. One of the biggest pros of them are that they can be both short-term and long-term, since you have your whole life to do them. For me, at least, breaking down my bucket list into several decades can give me a deadline and can have me set my long-term goals. Since there are way too many things on my bucket list for this decade alone, here are only a few of them. Hopefully, they will inspire a jump start in creating your own bucket list for the decade.

1. Go to More Concerts and Broadway Shows

Everybody loves a good concert or live theatrical event, but they can be so expensive. Now that I am one year out of college with my student loans almost paid off, I can be able to go to more concerts and Broadway musicals than I did prior to graduating. And with an entire decade ahead of me, I can save up my money to go to as many as I would like.

2. Publish My Books

I had lots of ideas for books since college, but was not able to act upon them until after I finished classes. One of my books is currently in the editing process, so it is only a matter of time until my first book gets published. I have many ideas for books, fiction, nonfiction, and chapbooks, and I would love to share them with the world.

3. Travel Outside the Country

I have a confession to make; I have never traveled outside the United States before, let alone travel outside the east coast. Now that I have more connections when it comes to travel than I did five years ago, I can be able to get my passport together soon and travel around the world with my loved ones.

4. Become a Sex Educator for Teens With Developmental Disabilities

As someone with a developmental disability with a deep interest in sex, I understand how this demographic tends to be super vulnerable when it comes to sexual situations. No parent likes to talk about sex with their children, but when it comes to children with developmental disabilities, they are twice more to avoid the conversation. I want to break all these stereotypes and give developmentally disabled teens the information they need so they do not put themselves in a vulnerable sexual situation.

5. Pursue My Modelling Career

Friends and family members would often tell me how I should be a model, and I wanted to become a model since I was in sixth grade. I found someone who gave me a few tips when it came to jump starting my career and getting my portfolio put together, so getting my modelling career starting is one thing I am super excited for.

6. Swim With the Dolphins

This one may sound like a cliche, but I would love to swim with the dolphins one day. I always loved the ocean ever since I was little, and every time I would see someone in a movie or on television swim with dolphins, all I could imagine is myself doing the same.

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

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.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
