As I begin preparing for my life beyond college, I cannot help but make a bucket list of things I have accomplished and want to accomplish before I finish my time as an undergraduate. I hope you relate to it too.

Pass organic chemistry the first time.

No one wants to feel that much anxiety twice.

Process your own DNA profile.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

See something ordinary under the microscope.

It will change the way you see the world.

Get the right mass on the crucible lab the first try.

It will save you a lot of frustration in the long run.

Have less than (or equal to) one mental break down per semester.

Life is too short to sweat the little things.

Meet Henry C. Lee.

He is an adorable, funny genius.

Do research with your favorite professor.

It looks good on your resume and provides more educational opportunities than you can count.

Finish a synthesis lab within the time period scheduled for the lab.

For this to happen after syllabus week is a miracle.

Author a research publication.

It may be your greatest accomplishment.

Do an entire physical chemistry lab period in a silly accent.

It makes the time pass by quickly.

Get into a good graduate school.

It will open doors that you never could have imagined.

Make a difference.

It is the reason we all picked this major in the first place.
