#3, #4, #5, and #6...

This is just part of my college bucket list... and it probably doesn't mean much to people outside of Montana.    There's a river that run really close to Bozeman that people float every year when the weather is nice, which is like June to September.  I've been in Bozeman for two and a half years at this point, and still haven't done it.  Friends have asked me to go a few times, and we've even made plans, but they always just fell through.  So before I graduate in a year and a half, I'm determined to float the damn river.
This isn't some big event that will forever change my life, but it's a big enough event that I'll remember doing it when I'm sixty years old, and am reminiscing about stupid stuff that I did in college because, let's be honest, I'll end up doing something extraordinarily stupid when we float it.  It's just who I am.
And speaking of my college bucket list, I've completed three of the things on my list.  One of them was to ski Bridger, which I did unsuccessfully... I ended up getting ski patrolled and then had to get ambulanced to the emergency because I had an asthma attack and wasn't breathing on my own.  It was a failed attempt, but I gave it my all... and I scared my self shitless in the process, so I will NOT be doing that again for at least a few years!  The second thing was going to the Boiling River in Yellowstone.  It was actually really cool... and really hot!  But it was a lot of fun and I'm extremely glad that I did it!  Although, once again... it was not without injury.  I stepped on a rock when we were getting out and my foot was swollen for a few days afterward.  The other thing that I have completed on my college bucket list was to get drunk in an RA's room while underage.  I was successful at that one three times... and some wonderful stories came out of those nights.  And, keeping with the pattern, I had another injury.  But this one was genuinely not my fault... it was the fault of my crazy ass drunk friend, who was the RA... and it was hilarious so I'm not even sure if I count that one.
The moral of the story is that no matter what is on my college bucket list, it will result in some form of injury.  So I guess I just need to be prepared.....

Go to IKEA, hide in a wardrobe...

when someone walks by... jump out and yell "For Narnia!!!!"
    My friend and I were sitting in my dorm room last year, talking about things we wanted to do before we graduated from college and at that exact moment, I found this picture with a dare to do this on it.  We decided that it will be done by us... the problem is that there aren't any IKEA stores in Bozeman, and there lies the challenge!
   Everyone in the world at some point wants to do something crazy, and I fully admit that I do crazy things all the time, but this is just one of the most amazing dares to find.  And I love doing things like this because you can't live your entire life watching other people do fun things and not embrace the fact that we all have the ability to do something crazy and stupid.  And if that crazy thing means that you'll be acting like a child for a few seconds, take the opportunity.  Our childhood shouldn't ever really end, otherwise, what's the fun in growing up?
   Plus, this dare makes you feel like you're in Narnia for a second.  I don't know many people that have read the Narnia books or seen the movies, that don't want to go to Narnia... a magical place that you can enter through a wardrobe in an abandoned room?  I'm in...

Number 1: Travel the World

I haven't met many people in the world that don't want to go somewhere... whether that place is just a bigger city or a whole other continent.  My dream is to travel to all 7 continents, even Antarctica.  I've literally grown up, for as long as I can remember, hearing about Mt. Everest, or Kilimanjaro or any other huge mountain because my cousin is a mountain climber.  I guess that's probably where my desire started.  But slowly, I have found so many different places that I want to go.  I guess that's the curse of being a History Major... I read about these places everyday and I want to go to them.  That's the problem though... there are too many places in the world, so if I go to all seven continents, I'll get a little taste of the millions of things I want to see.  The good part is... I've already been to Europe and I live in the U.S., so I already have 2 continents down.  At this rate, I'll make it to all the continents by the time I'm 70.
