Bucket List

I believe that everyone has a bucket list, whether they've actually fully thought about it or taken the time to write things down. We all have this idea of things we want to do or accomplish in our lives. There are a million things I want to do in my life, but I've never written any of it down. I figured this would be a good place to start. This will probably be a continuation throughout my life as I discover new things I want to do.

• Had my first surgery on my tongue. 

• Celebrated my one year of being baptized. With McDonald's obviously...

• Handed out lemons to people on campus. "When LIFE hands you lemons."

• Ate my first crepe at IHOP while wearing a mustache.

• Said goodbye to my best friend for 18 months

• Learned how to swim

• Took a road trip to Logan, Utah

• Went camping for the first time

•  Went to my first college party

• Had a successful Rush Week

• Got my Tragus pierced (far right)

• Went to a Fraternity Toga Party

There's a bunch of other things I did that I don't have pictures for:

• Did a research project and presented it at the Psychology Symposium

• Survived the end of the world
• Became very poor and ate a lot of fast food

It was an amazing year and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I've met some amazing people who've made me a better person. I've grown up and became a better person. I can't wait to see what this new year has to bring. Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013! Please be more amazing than this past year. :)

"When LIFE hands you lemons"

A couple weeks ago, Elisa and I saw this picture on Facebook. We decided that we really wanted to do some of the things on this list. We started with the first one and made our own shirts and bought 7 bags of lemons.We stood in front of the library and walked up to people and handed them lemons. It was SO much fun! It took some people a while to get it. My favorite was, we handed this girl a lemon and she walked away and then she turned around and stopped us and said "I get it!" and asked to take a picture of us. It was awesome! I'm sure we made a lot of people's days and I can't wait to do it again! I can't wait to do the rest of the things on this list as well.
