As I am beginning my freshman year I have quickly realized that if I am not careful my 4 years here will fly by and I might not have done anything other than study and make good grades! Work Forest is REAL! So as a promise to myself and all you lovely people who are reading this I am making a bucket list of seven things that I want to do before I graduate in 2023.
-
Study Abroad- I know that this still involves studying, working, and getting good grades, but doing these things while in somewhere like Spain would be totally different because, I mean, Spain?

Stay Up All Night- I get that pulling all nighters may sound normal for many college students, but I am the type of person that enjoys a good amount of sleep each night and I would definitely consider myself more a morning person than a night owl. My typical bedtime is 10 pm and if I am awake past them I am probably stressed beyond belief.

Sleep Past Noon- Again I understand that this is something that many people, especially college students, might normally do, but I hate the idea of being in bed past 9 o’clock in the morning because I feel like my entire day is gone. So this bucket list item might ruin a day for me, but I feel like its something I have to do in order to get the true college experience.

Run an Iron Man (or abbreviated version of it)- I like to believe that I am a fairly fit person and I would like to believe that I have the ability to complete at the very least a half iron man competition, which if your are unaware is basically just a triathlon. This bucket list item in particular would be the most fun being completed with a group of friends although, all would be more fun with the addition of friends.

Make Friends with a Stranger- While on the topic of friends… Okay so I obviously don’t mean walking up to a sketchy looking person in a scary part of the town, but on campus with someone that looks friendly. Just walk up and start a conversation with someone that I don’t know from atom, who knows, maybe they would become a lifelong friend!

Cook a Meal- Getting together with a close group of girls and all cooking together… sounds like a blast to me! Food and bonding how could it get any better?

Get a Summer Internship- Rounding off the list with something a bit more educational and career oriented. But if you are being totally honest with yourself doesn’t the idea of being able to walk around in a professional building where you “work” sound totally cool?

This is how I plan on enjoying my four years of undergrad, I hope that it inspires you to come up with your own college bucket lists!
