Senior Year Bucket List

"The Dog Days Are Over...The Dog Days Are Gone
The Horses Are Coming So You Better Run..."

I may not be interpreting the words of this song exactly right, but I feel like the "dog days" signify the times I have had at school, while the "horses" represent the ever-impending doom of real life. The horses are coming towards me faster and faster and my times at school are fading into the distance. Over the past week while I was home, my friend pointed out to me that I needed to experience more during my last year in college (eek!) and at first I was a little put off by the comment. I mean...I lived in London for a year and got to travel all of the continent doing things that I never thought I would do (like paragliding off a f*cking Alp!). Who was he to judge the experiences I have already had? But then after some thought, I figured that he was right. I looked back on my junior year and figured that I couldn't have had as much fun as I could have had. My dog days very boring...very dog-like. I decided that this year -- my senior year -- I was going to have more fun, make new friends, and make some mistakes. It could help me grow as a person and help me figure out what I like and what I don't. I decided to make a Senior Year Bucket List. Here it is...and keep in mind that it is a work in progress.

• Attend a Pepperdine Water Polo match -- Going into my freshman year I said that I would go to a lot of them...and then never did. That ends this year.
• Hike to the Hollywood sign -- Because that seems like the cool thing to do and I could say I've done it.
• Go to more clubs -- Preferably ones in West Hollywood because they are mostly filled with gay guys who won't harass me.
• Do hot yoga -- I have heard from a lot of people that it is a good work out, and I think it would be good for me to spend some "me" time
• Go to an Oaks Christian HS football game -- They are amazing at football, and since Pepperdine is lame and doesn't have a team, this a pretty fair alternative. Plus Will Smith's kid plays there.
• Take a tequila shot -- My friend Shannon is obsessed with them (not in an alcoholic sort of way) but I never took them with her because I didn't really like tequila and I was too chicken to take shots for fear of throwing up. But, last night, I took my very first one at a bar we were at, and it actually wasn't that bad aside from the initial burn haha.
• Malibu Wine Tasting Tour -- Apparently Malibu does do wine tasting tours, so I thought it was be interesting to see if their piss wine can compare to the stuff we have in Washington.

Do feel free to add things I should try to my Bucket List in the comments section. Suggestions are always welcome.
