I am seriously lacking motivation these days. Motivation for anything really. Maybe it's because it's because this has been a ridiculously long and stressful semester. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the time change. I don't know what it is, but apathy is steadily gaining ground in my psyche, and this is very disturbing to me. Apathy is society's worst enemy. I rail against the apathetic nature of some of my peers. Yet, here I am, infected as they are.

So I'm going to try something to hopefully wake me up, get me back to myself and back on track. Rhya Moffitt, I'm using you for this one. In my stupor of apathy, I completely forgot about your tassel list until I was about to search for "senior year motivation strategies" and "senior year bucket list" came up before I could finish typing. Obviously I had to look at that, and I was kind of excited about some of the things that the person was going to try to do before they graduated. I thought to myself, "I need a Bucket List!" Then, I remembered. I had one, already started for me even! So I'm starting with (most of) your ideas, I've added a few of my own, but I need all of you guys to help me.

What should I do before I graduate from college? Here is what I've started with:

Ask someone to the Christmas Banquet.
Go to a midnight premiere of a movie.
Get a piercing or a tattoo or a funky hair streak.
Eat lots of Lucky Charms and oranges in Rhya Moffitt's memory.
Have movie night with Ashley Butler all the time.
Steal a book from the Library.
Swim or wade in a campus fountain.
Do something awesome for spring break.
Go to a Pro Musica concert.
Be spontaneous, all the time.
Go to an Acro show.
See how much you can steal from the cafe at once.
Go to Midnight Breakfast, dressed up, at Sonic.
Graduate.
Befriend someone unexpected.
Perform a random act of kindness for someone you don't particularly like.
Take a DC Duck Boat tour.
Fly a kite on the Mall.
Go to a rally and make a sign.
Run to the Washington Monument from school.
Watch every HP movie or every LOTR movie or Charlie Brown movie or Land Before Time movie in one day. Or do both.
Go to a Supreme Court hearing thing.
Buy a random item of clothing off someone. Not at a high price.
Play Washington D.C. Monopoly on the Mall.
Bike more of the C&O Canal (can't do all of it Mom, sorry.).
Buy an all-day metro pass and ride one of the lines end to end. Or don't buy an all-day pass, ride all of the metro in one day, and see how much it actually costs if you get out of the metro in the same place you got on.
Stay up all night doing something ridiculous with friends.
Finish (or restart because I think eventually I was persuaded to throw the original away after it lived in my trunk for 6 months...) jaimenudd and my Duct Tape Rainbow poster. Do you know, I still have a really little bit of yellow and green duct tape from that?!
Invent a recipe (dish, dessert, drink, etc.).
Paint something (canvas, cupboard, cup, etc.). [Trying to keep the alliteration...]
Take more photos.
Play [more] basketball.

I'm going to post this to my blog as well, and I'm going to try to keep record of what I've done and the stories attached to them. I need some accountability until I get my self-accountability and self-motivation back in working order.
