Senior Year Bucket List

It's officially senior year in five days.  While my heart is shattered to see summer coming to an end (and the summer homework is piling up), I am so excited for senior year and all the adventures that await.  I'm approaching everything this year with an open mind and heart.  In one short year I will be off to college, most likely in Arizona or California (or even Europe; I've been tossing my options around).
While I am excited for the next chapter in my life, I know it will be hard to say goodbye.  I have had various friends throughout my three years in high school and time in Colorado.  I often wonder what my life would be like if I had never left California.  It's crazy that I moved here for a reason and met the people I did for some other reason.  Nothing is coincidence, and my life is showing me that.  Whether I like to admit it or not, I will really miss a lot of my friends and especially my family once senior year draws to a close.  I already grew so close to new people this year and summer.  I know these friendships will strengthen within the next 12 months and the goodbyes will be difficult, but people who are meant to stay in your life will.
I've created a bucket list of sorts for things I want to accomplish my senior year.


  • Enjoy senior tennis season
  • go to every football, baseball, and basketball game
  • continue to bond with the peer counselors
  • every month do a random act of kindness
  • thank all my teachers
  • spend time with my brothers and parents
  • talk to my grandparents on the phone each weekend
  • intern 
  • meditate when stressed out
  • don't get as stressed out- let the universe do it's thing
  • apply to multiple colleges
  • throw a Halloween party round 2
  • have a huge 18th birthday party
  • score 4s or 5s on AP tests
  • go on sunrise hikes before school
  • build strong friendships above everything
  • donate books to an underprivileged school or orphanage
  • live in the moment
  • enjoy everything for what it is

At the end of the day, I just want to enjoy everything while I can and make the most of every experience.  Senior year will be over before I can blink.




"A lot can happen in twelve months, but tonight we are here together."

until next time xxx.
