This morning, I woke up with another semester of college under my belt and I realized that I just have one more to go. And then I'm finished with school. 

It's a little terrifying to think about because school is kind of all I've ever known and I have no idea what I'm doing next. Leaving the safe space that I'm familiar with, that I know how to do, will be verrrrry strange. But oh my gosh, there are so many things I want to do. Maybe making a bucket list is something a person does when she's preparing for a new chapter of her life.

So here are things that I want to do, or some big things I've already accomplished (which are italicized). Any of these on your list??
