Now that my time at Sewanee has come to an end, I want to set my sights on ways to make my life the most exciting it can be. Â Everyone talks about having a Sewanee bucketlist, but I think this concept should be taken advantage of even after your college career ends. Â Sure the idea of a bucketlist may seem cliche, but I believe that you should live every day like it could be your last. Life is too short, and the world is too big and beautiful to not take advantage of. Â Here are a couple of things that I hope to do one day… (my full bucketlist is wayyyy too long to list, but here are just a few things):
- Go skydiving
- See a tornado
- Whale watching
- Be a bridesmaid
- Go to a drive-in movie

The idea behind a bucketlist is that you do not have regrets towards how you have lived your life. A similar idea was presented when Sewanee SGA presented the Before I Die board on campus, encouraging students to contribute to an overall bucketlist. Â I encourage you all to make a bucketlist so that you can live life to its full potential!Â
