It’s listing time!

This past week I discovered The Script and boy was I grateful for it. There is nothing that can make a crappy week better than a bunch of cute and talented Irish boys. However though they are aesthetically appealing, The Script produce some of the most heartfelt and lyrically intriguing music that I have heard in a while. One of my favorite songs by The Script has to be “Live Like We’re Dying.” Most of you have probably heard the Kris Allen version, but let me tell you, The Script’s version is so much better! The song is truly pop rock at it’s finest and has a great message to go along with it (think “Seasons of Love” from Rent). After listening to this song a half a dozen times, I began to think about my approach to each and every day. Maybe it was the lyrical repetition of the number of seconds within the day (86, 400 to be exact), but I felt as if I wasn’t living each and every day to it’s fullest. Thus, I began to make a list- a bucket list.

So here it is folks, a list of the five things I would like to do before I pass on out of this life (in no particular order):

  1. Hail and ride a cab in New York City
  2. Visit Egypt, sneak into one of the pyramids, and find the “Book of the Dead” a la “The Mummy.”
  3. Go skydiving (I know it’s cliché, but it’s still pretty kickass)
  4. Spend an evening karaoke-ing (I’m not quite sure if that’s a word) in a bar (a la 500 days of summer).
  5. Go to the Superbowl (hopefully when the Patriots are playing-woot go PATS!)

I realize that there this endeavor is a bit morbid, but it’s still a great way to spend a study break/ a few minutes of free time. I definitely think it’s important for everyone to reevaluate and reflect every once in a while. Let me know what you think in the comments below and have a great week 🙂

I am a sophomore in LSA (planning on majoring in English with a minor in Women Studies) from out of state (can you guess where?) whose current obsession with the show Modern Family may prevent the successful completion of this term.
