College Bucket List

So it's been awhile. Sorry. I even promised there would be more content this time!  I guess getting back into the swing of things was a lot harder than I thought!  I feel like I always have something to get done. But no matter.

Lots of lists lately too :-)

So I'm coming up on the last part of my undergraduate college experience and I remember when I came in there were things I wanted to do, things I wanted to try (a list in my head of course).  I think I've actually completed (or will complete in the next year) most of the list. Lookin' gooddd.

1. Study Abroad
Somewhere, anywhere. Mostly, England. Definitely, England. GUESS WHAT! I'm going to England, Summer 2012. I will even get to go see other countries too!

2. Be in a College Play or Musical
This one was completed the first quarter being at RIT. Fall of 2009, RIT Players Presents: A Night of One Acts. I was in "Stage Directions" with my best friend Meghan (we didn't know it at the time) and Tyler Puglisese, directed by John Oliphant. And the rest my dear friends, was history.

4. Become an Eboard Member of a Club or Organization
I have spent 2 long years as the Communications Officer and Advertising and Public Relations Manager of The RIT Players.  I'm running for President and Vice President next week! Vote for me!

5. Join a Sorority
Being at RIT, you don't get much girl time. I've always wanted to join a sorority but was too afraid (I heard horror stories).  But this quarter I am taking the plunge and joining Alpha Xi Delta.  Here goes nothing!

6. Be a Resident Advisor
It always sounds like a sweet job that came with so much responsibility and leadership experience that would benefit me in the long run.  I didn't stop until I was hired last Spring for the honors residents halls which turned into a Senior Resident Advisor position this quarter. I absolutely love the job so much, I'm thinking of a career in Student Affairs!

7. Join the Honors Program
So I was touring RIT and the Honors program was mentioned that the top 10% of the incoming class would be accepted into the Honors program.  I wasn't initially invited and of course that drove my motivation and determination to show the Honors program that I would excel in college.  By the end of my freshmen year, they offered membership as a late entry honors student.

8. Have a Double Major
I was originally going to change my major from Advertising and Public Relations to Marketing and then I thought about it and took some more communications classes (I could always make it a minor) and eventually decided that it was the right path for me. But I was so interested in so many areas and classes that are super interesting are limited. I got into honors psychology and loved almost every minute of it. After just 2 classes I signed up for a double major in Psychology.  Confusing where I want to go to grad school even more!

9. Become SG Student Government President
Yeah. This one. Never gonna happen.  I never got into Student Government any of my years here at RIT  and seeing as how the elections for next year are coming up, it's safe to say that I can keep this one in my dreams.

These are obviously been the ones at the top of my mind lately and I'm sure I've blocked out the ones I haven't come close to completing.

Best Glee Performances

These are 10 of some of the best Glee songs!

I'm Sexy and I Know It - Ricky Martin

 So I rolled my eyes at this one at first, yea putting I'm Sexy and I Know It in Spanish is going to work... Just wait until Ricky Martin says "I'm Sexy and I Know It," and you will be hooked. Just wait...

Lucky - Sam and Quinn

Needless to say: THE CUTEST SONG EVER

Smooth Criminal - Santana and Sebastian 

 So catchy..

I Dreamed A Dream - Rachel and Shelby

 I love Rachel, but I have to admit there are few songs of hers that I truly love and are blown away by...

I Want to Hold Your Hand - Kurt

  This one makes me cry. Every. Time. 

  I'm a daddy's girl. Plain and simple. 

Marry You - Full Cast

  Adorable

Hey Soul Sister - Blaine and the Warblers

 Dear Darren Criss, please refer to the previous song. <3

Fix You - Will

  Again, one of the songs that was really touching. Will doesn't get many good songs in Glee despite his amazing voice.

What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) - Troubletones

  GIRL POWER ALL THE WAY. 

Rumor Has It/ Someone Like You - Santana and Mercedes 

 Hands down the best Glee performance. SO AMAZING. 

 Fun Fact: I hated Santana's voice in the first season.  She has come such a long way.

Just 10 of so many good songs! There are more but I didn't want to overload you too much! 

The Lucky One

So many fantastic romantic movies coming out! First The Vow, and now The Lucky One!

Set to release April 20th, 2012, The Lucky One is based off of a Nicholas Sparks book that details the life of Logan (played by Zac Efron), a young marine veteran who is miraculously saved one day serving in Iraq after finding a picture of a young woman.  The picture becomes his "lucky charm" during the war.  After being discharged he is determined to find the woman in the picture and thank her.  When he finally meets Beth (played by Taylor Schilling), the woman in the picture, things change as they fall madly in love with each other with some unexpected bumps in the relationship that could turn their relationship for good.

I read the book about 3 years ago and am ecstatic that it is coming to the big screen (Zac Efron doesn't look half bad either! Swoon...).  This is defiantly my next must see movie before the superhero movie summer starts.

Here is the trailer to see for yourself!
