My Bucket List
Kirsten Ward

Bucket lists-- we should all have them! Bucket lists don't necessarily have to pertain to doing crazy things like jumping out of a plane. Everyone is different and has different goals for life. None the less, we should all have things we aspire to do; how great does it feel to achieve something, to do something you've always wanted to!

I'm turning 24 in the next couple of months, and have realized that I don't have a bucket list of my own. I tend to be more motivated when I have made a list for myself. It doesn't seem like a chore when it's a list of fun and awesome stuff to accomplish!


1. applying for a job that requires my actual biology degree

2. join the peace corp

3. buying the person behind me in the dunkin drive thru their coffee

4. successfully learning a new language, preferably Spanish

5. wake up early to collect trash off of the beach and watch the sunrise

6. travel South America

7. learn to scuba dive

8. travel some where solo

9. giving a subject that i'm uninterested a chance and learning about it, such as political science - mostly to become educated enough to vote

10. write a powerful article to help someone to change their perspective

11. inspire

12. zip line

13. spend a day on a catamaran

14. jump off the San Sebastian waterfall since I chicken every time I go

15. volunteer with kids - because I usually have no patience with them

16. give free lance writing or travel blogging a shot

17. learn to bartend

18. successfully master some sort of dish

19. watercolor paint

20. afford to buy my parents and grandparents something super nice

21. learn to sew

22. visit the desert

23. climb across the sugar mill in Aguadilla and jump off

24. learn to do my own taxes - thanks Dad

25. find the perfect job that won't seem like a job at all

26. & most importantly always love and make the most out of life


It's so important to have goals and work towards achieving them! Even if you start small, like attempting to get over a fear of spiders, or waking up 20 minutes earlier every morning. Life is too short to not chase your dreams!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
