Bucket List

Hi! One thing I love doing is organizing and adding goals to my Bucket List. I would LOVE to share my list with you and update my readers on my progress. Because I have well over 1,500 goals on it, I am going to do it in segments. Each Saturday, I will show you 5 Goals I have and then 1 I have already accomplished. Contribute by commenting with your goals! Enjoy!

FIVE GOALS:

1) Graduate College

Currently in the process of completing! I'm an Exercise and Sport Science major with a minor in Biology. After graduating from Fitchburg State, my goal is to continue onto Grad School to become a PA (Physician Assistant)

2) See a blue whale

I live right next to "Whaling City" and I have yet to see a whale! Maybe if I take a whale watch in the right location, I can fulfill this!

3) Have a baby

Obviously NO time soon, haha but definitely in the future! I would love a girl. I love the names Olivia, Madeline, Violet, Alice, Sophia, Emma, and Lily.

4) Be a homeowner

I'm hoping that by saving some money, I will be abe to do this after Grad School. Even just a small townhouse, I can't wait for my own place!

5) Own every color of OPI Nail Polish

Even though there are like 300 some odd colors, I'd love to, way in the future, own them all. The quality of this nail polish is awesome and I love them!

ACCOMPLISHMENT:

1) Build something at Build-a-Bear

I made Charlie, a panda bear, at Build a Bear about two years ago. I freaking love that store! Definitely going back :)

NOTE :: All the photos I include in my Bucket List posts are generally from this blog and this one, unless otherwise noted.

What did I do on Sunday?

I ran my first 5k!!

It was awesome! I didn't really complete it in my goal time. I took 51 minutes and 25.5 seconds. :( But I finished and for barely training due to the craziness of finals, I am super proud of myself. It was the Falcon 5K at my school and it was fun! I won a beach chair at the raffle at the end too. My legs felt like someone took an axe to them until Tuesday, no big deal. 

I am definitely going to do this again soon! A few of my friends and I are forming a group to do the Color Run in Boston this summer and potentially a red dress run for heart disease. (I don't think we run in dresses). Not to mention the Warrior Dash is coming up but I'm going to do the September one instead of June. (June = chaos for me)

Have a nice weekend and stay healthy =)

Book Review: PUSH

I've been reading a ton lately and also just finished this book:

I really enjoyed this. The novel is written from the points of view of Precious, a girl who goes through extreme sexual abuse throughout her life and decides to start a new life for herself and signs herself up for an alternative school after she is thrown out of her high school for being pregnant. Illiterate, Precious learns skills at the school and meets other students who have been abused and learns how to begin her new, and happy lifestyle. This book was very good and you can see her writing skills slowly improve throughout the novel. She starts off by spelling ask "ax" and mother "muver" but you watch her grow through her journal entries. Although this book is great, it was very graphic when it came to her sexual abuse so I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone under 14/15(depending on maturity). Overall, I loved it.
