The Summer Bucket List
Kate Ulveling

Summer is right around the corner and there is no time for regrets. School will shortly return in August, so I think it is important to make the most of each day and try something new often. I am absolutely guilty for "running out of things to do" during the summer and always catch myself counting down the days until school comes around.

With that, I encourage all of you live life to the fullest and I guarantee, with this bucket list, you can make every day count. Here are 50 activities to do this summer:

1. Go on a hike.

2. Have a picnic in the park.

3. Wake up early and drive to the beach before the sunrise.

4. Go rock climbing.

5. Treat yourself to a popsicle.

6. Have a pajama party and a movie marathon.

7. Catch a really big fish.

8. Make a s'more by the fire.

9. Finally road trip to a place you've never been (but have always wanted to go).

10. Try a new coffee shop.

11. Do pilates.

12. Do yoga.

13. Read a new book that has a movie.

14. Watch the book's movie when you're finished reading.

15. Cook your friends dinner.

16. Ding-dong ditch your friend's houses and leave them with little presents.

17. Standup paddle board.

18. Treat yourself by going on a shopping spree.

19 Run your farthest distance yet.

20. Lay in the sun and tan.

21. Sign up for a race.

22. Host a party.

23. Make a lemonade stand. Donate the proceeds to something you care about.

24. Plan a romantic date with someone special.

25. Make memories with strangers on the beach.

26. Watch a movie outside (and don't forget the popcorn).

27. Tie-dye a T-shirt.

28. Kayak.

29. Write a poem or a song. Maybe even give it to someone.

30. Pull an all-nighter with your friends.

31. Bake cookies at midnight. Make sure you have milk to dip them in.

32. Go to a concert.

33. Skinny dip.

34. Create a blog or start a diary for yourself.

35. Begin a workout series.

36. Or don't workout at all!

37. Make your own ice cream one night.

38. Jet-ski or go boating on a beautiful day.

39. Paint a canvas for your dorm room.

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.

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.

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.
