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!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
