Things I Want To Do Before I Die

It’s crazy to see how fast life seems to fly by. I never really pictured being where I am today, or pictured myself being the person I turned out to be. Over the past eighteen years, I have mentioned things I’ve wanted to do, which never actually happened. I’m getting to the point where time seems to speed by, and I’m seeing life pass me by as I look in the rear view mirror. I’ve never created a bucket list before, so I think it’s time I do. Here are the things I want to do before I die.

  1. Swim with dolphins. I have always dreamed of being able to swim with dolphins like in the movie Aquamarine. It seems like it would be extremely exciting to be up close and personal, and being an animal lover is just a plus.
  2. Jump out of an airplane. I know, call me crazy. I love the adrenaline, and the thought of dropping hundreds of feet seems too crazy to pass up. I know it’s risky, but being able to say I jumped out of a plane seems badass.
  3. Become a nurse. I’ve been working towards this goal for years now, and I want to be able to say I’m a Registered Nurse (RN). The medical field has so many doors of opportunity just waiting to be opened. I can’t wait till the day I get to turn the knob and move forward.
  4. Save a life. I want to do something so special, which is save someone’s life in one way or another. Whether it be an organ donation, getting an addict the help they need, pushing someone out of the way of a moving car, or convincing someone that life is worth living.
  5. Learn how to play guitar. I used to play the violin and trumpet growing up. I tried to teach myself how to play a guitar years ago but I was awful at it. Maybe with time, this will become easier!
  6. Travel to different countries. I want to experience new cultures, customs, and environments. I want to be able to leave the United States for the first time in my life, and maybe even learn a second language. This world is an endless adventure, and I want to take advantage of that.
  7. Volunteer at a children’s hospital and spend time with sick children. I can only imagine how lonely and bored kids that are staying in hospitals must get. I’m sure the kids would love to have company, and it would mean so much to me to give back. Volunteering has always been one of my favorite extra-curricular activities to do, and this was something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
  8. Meet Chris Daughtry. My absolute favorite person, and I haven’t even met him yet. His music saved me in so many ways. His lyrics got me through the worst depression of my life and boosted my already happy mood as well. He’s such a big role model to me, but he never tours anymore… so this will have to wait a while.
  9. Drive a Range Rover. An all blacked out Range Rover with black rims and red interior would be my absolute dream come true. My second choice would be a new G-Wagon. You would have to pry me out of the car because I wouldn’t want to get out of the driver’s seat afterward lol.
  10. I want to have something go viral. I would love to have something go viral and have that 'moment of spotlight,' so I can feel famous (even though I’m clearly not). I just hope whatever goes viral isn’t embarrassing!
  11. Kiss someone under a mistletoe. It’s corny, but it’s the perfect 'movie moment.' I love Christmas time, and the scenery is perfect for a moment under the mistletoe.
  12. Sing for a big crowd. I used to sing in chorus for years, but once I got to high school they didn’t offer it so my confidence faded. My voice changed and I just couldn’t hit certain notes by the time I reached senior year. I hope to keep practicing and one day be able to sing for a big crowd.
  13. Own a dog. My childhood was too unstable to have a full commitment to a dog, but I can’t wait until I have my own house and can adopt a dog and treat him/her like my other half. I’ve always admired people’s relationships to their dogs, and I can’t wait to build that bond with my own one day.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
