The Bucket List
https://www.pinterest.com/banningmillszip/historic-banning-mills/

When I was 15, I started making a bucket list and now, seven years later, I'm happy I started making it when I was younger. Turns out, things that I wanted to do when I was 15 I am willing to try now; even if I don't like it afterwards at least I will try. So here are 40 things I want to do before I die... and maybe some of them you might consider too...

1. Visit All 50 states.

2. Visit all the continents... or as many as countries as possible.

3. Go paintballing in an abandoned high school or college.

4. Meet one of my favorite actors/actresses from my favorite movie.

5. Go to a winery in northern Italy.

6. Graduate college.

7. Own a German Shepherd... or two... yeah, just two.

8. Watch my future kids grow up and succeed in whatever they want to do.

9. Never stop volunteering.

10. God dog sledding in Alaska.

11. Go scuba diving.

12. Swim with the dolphins.

13. Hold a shark.

14. Hike a trail in every state park.

15. Kiss a sea lion.

16. Swim with sharks.

17. Write a book.

18. Go on a cruise.

19. Go to a drive-in movie.

20. Learn to ballroom dance.

21. Learn to swing dance.

22. See Ellen... live with my two sisters (who are obsessed).

23. Have a professional photo shoot.

24. Spend the day at a resort spa.

25. Sleep in a castle.

26. Send a message in a bottle.

27. Watch my significant other succeed in what he loves to do.

28. Go deep sea fishing.

29. Start a not for profit organization.

30. Learn sign language.

31. Skydive.

32. Go to Nascar/Drive a racecar.

33. Skeet shoot.

34. Fly on a private jet.

35. Drive Route 66 while listening to "Route 66."

36. Ride a bike.

37. Shop at the European Christmas markets.

38. Work in Europe for a summer.

39. Go to a Manchester United game in England.

40. Get married... once and live the best life possible.


Sometimes it's nice to have a bucket list when you're young. You only have one life, so why are you going to wait until you're 40 to do it? Go make memories!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
