#5: Master Water Skiing


 I grew up on a lake and was taught to swim before I could walk, but for some odd reason I have always been awful at water skiing. So the other summer I decided to get off my rump and do something about that!

This picture is from my first attempt at accomplishing this and apparently I had no idea what to do, but I thankfully managed to get the hang of it after a few trial runs.

#41: Sing at Carnegie Hall



Every theater freak, choir kid and band geek dreams of performing in a hall such as this! And last year with my college choir I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to do exactly this. Granted it was so hot I thought I was going to faint and was dripping sweat the entire time-which isn't exactly the most attractive thing in the world-but who cares when you are singing on a stage as legendary as that!

#35: Have Breakfast at Tiffany's



Ever since first watching that classic 1961 Audrey Hepburn movie it was hard not to want to try this at some point. So the next time I went to New York I picked up one of those famous bagels and a coffee and sat back and watched all the 5th avenue shoppers hustling around everywhere as if they had somewhere really important to be. 

I have to admit it was quite relaxing, although next time I will be sure to wear a little black dress and over sized sunglasses to complete the look.

#40 Giant Game of Ninja




#9 Play a game of Ninja with more then 40 people


I know everyone has played this game with their friends at one point in their life even if they don't want to admit it. But why limit yourself to just a few people when you can create a huge group?

This ultimate game occurred senior year at a debate tournament, which you can assume to be full of theater geeks, nerds and others who just like the sound of their own voice. So naturally this game got a little out of hand at some points.

And yes, I am the one in the middle about to get attacked by everyone around me.

#4 Graduate High School





 This one may seem a bit silly to be on a bucket list, but this is my list and I can do what I want so I put it on here. There are so many people out there that never got the experience of walking across that stage and having that feeling of accomplishment. It is the strangest feeling knowing that after all those years of being surrounded by a certain group of people, all of a sudden they will be gone forever from your life. And as every cheesy graduation speaker says:

                                       "This isn't the end, but only the beginning."

 So cheers to the beginning of the rest of our lives.
