My Anti-Bucket List

Instead of a bucket list, why not make a list of things we don't want to do?

My Anti-Bucket List
wikipedia

Too many people live their lives trying to check boxes off their bucket list, while failing to 'go with the flow'. Having a bucket list leads to disappointment if you don't accomplish everything. So, I would rather have a list of things I don't want to do in my life, in hopes that I will be happier.

1. Stop doing what I love

Reading, writing, and volleyball are a few things I always want to be involved in.

2. Stop learning new things

Learning new things is always crucial, no matter what age you are and what you have experienced.

3. Get arrested

This just doesn't sound fun, adventure has its limits.

4. Run over an animal while driving

I'm too emotionally unstable to go through the pain of knowing I killed an innocent animal. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. *sobs*

5. Forget to have fun

My future profession might not give me much leeway during my school years, but I need to remember to make room for fun.

This list will continue to grow and change as I go through and experience life. Bucket lists are all good and dandy, but anti-bucket lists make you realize your true morals and needs in 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.

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.
