Its hard to believe thinking about my final days on earth at such a young age, let alone trying to guess where I'll be in the next five years. Even so, everyone has a few things they wish to do before they die. Keeping in mind that I may never have as many vehicles as Jay Leno, I try to keep my "Bucket List," to things that I will actually have a chance at doing at some point in my life. Whether it be in the next week or fifty years from now, someday I would love to do the following:
The List (in no specific order)
1) Go to a world series game or super bowl
2) Ride in a plane
3) Take an unplanned vacation
4) Start a scholarship in my parents name
ISU Bucket List
1) Have a 4.0 semester
2) Get at least two internships
3) Storm the field at Jack Trice
4) Hold an office in a club
I have always been a sports fan, and some of my most fond memories are sports oriented. Being an Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Cubs fan, number one on my list appears to be something I'll be doing later rather than sooner, which is fine with me. Along with that, I have always wanted to travel. As of today, I could count the number of times I have been out of the state on one hand. Someday, I would not only like to leave the state, but possibly somewhere overseas. I have had Venice, Australia, and many other places in Europe in mind, and look forward to someday spending some days away from home there. On the same token, I have always found spontaneous interest in going on a unplanned vacation with my significant other, or perhaps my own family someday. I feel that the open road and freedom that would come along with the vacation would be very relaxing as well as a great experience.
Lastly, I wish to start a scholarship in my parents name. They have left me with a great gift, allowing me to graduate college debt free, which seems to get harder and harder for students as the days go by. Along with that, I would like to return the favor that numerous people have done for me, in their generous donations to help me get my continued education. Everyone should be granted a chance to pursue their dream career, and I could somehow enable someone to, I would be glad to help.
As I look ahead to my days at Iowa State, I have some things I would like to accomplish before I leave for my career. First off, my GPA is important to me, and although I'm sure it will fluctuate throughout my time here, if I take it one semester at a time I should be happy with where I am at in the end. If I could obtain a 4.0 in at least one semester here, that will help a ton. Along with my GPA, another important aspect to my future career is experience. If I could get two internships before graduation, I should have the work experience needed to walk into any job.
Even though in college I am not on a athletic team since kindergarten, I still very much enjoy athletics still. You will find me in Hilton, as well as Jack Trice on many occasions watching many events. The experience is amazing, not one of the benefits of live vs. tv is the ability to storm the field after an upset; I will be looking for my opportunity. And because I am so used to being busy with athletics and the like, I wish to become active in some clubs on campus. Someday I hope to hold an office, and meet many new people, and make friends, along with many other benefits that come along with the organization.
With dedication and the desire you have you are sure to accomplish these! Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteI also hope to achieve most of these goals! Starting a scholarship in your parents name is a good idea as well. Maybe I'll start one in my dad's name. I hope you achieve these goals!
