Iowa State Bucket List

I have always been future minded with an over-active imagination. So thinking of a long list of things I would love to accomplish before leaving this campus was not a difficult thing for me to do. So in no specific here's my list of goals or tasks I hope to accomplish:


  1. Go to a gymnastics meet
  2. Climb the water tower
  3. Hold a leadership position within an organization
  4. Graduate in four years or less
  5. Make it into my first choice grad school
  6. Win an intramural t-shirt
  7. Start a club (preferably whack-bat)
  8. Go to 1 home event for every sport
  9. Win something at bingo
  10. Know everyone's name on my floor/in my house
  11. Graduate with honors
  12. Never fail a class
  13. Go into every building
  14. Polar plunge
  15. Memorize the fight song
  16. Rush the field
  17. Go to every home football game in one season
  18. Always maintain 15+ credits
  19. Ride every color Cyride
  20. Go to an away football game
As an extroverted person, I look forward to all the social event available at Iowa State. I want to take advantage of both academic and social opportunities during my 4 (or less) years here. I have not always been a sports fan, but I enjoy the atmosphere of events as well as the unity through school spirit. My education has always been a priority, and I want that to continue through my college career as well. I know that with the social activities available setting aside time for studies may be a struggle for me, so by making them a goal I will better find the motivation and determination to excel in my academics. As far as learning everyone's name on my floor, I believe that because college is one of the few times in life where we live with people and see them daily, it is one of the few times where we have that sort of sphere of influence. I feel like I could be a positive influence for the girls on my floor and I hope to develop relationships with all of them. 

I am looking forward to taking full advantage of the opportunities available through the university and other campus organizations. Go state!
