Bucket Lists Are Not Just for Senior Citizens

While you may feel like your life as you known it is over, it really is just beginning!  Take advantage of these last leisure months and set some goals for yourself for the next few months and/or years.  Create a few bucket lists and break them up according to the time span!  Look forward to concluding your final year at school instead of dreading entering the real world.
Before You Graduate: 
The next four months
Look at this next year and just go for it.  Dance in that water fountain on campus, sing karaoke at the local bar, and visit your old dorm room.  Connect with old friends again and enjoy the new one's you've made.  Ace that final exam, sell all your old textbooks for some extra cash and go out for Sunday-Funday!

25 Before 25:
The next four years
Make plans for your immediate post-grad life and list your top 25 goals to complete before you turn 25.  Take a look at the New York Times Best Seller list, choose some new reads that interest you, and actually take the time to read them.  This list could include health goals, such as working out a minimum of three times a week or cutting out dessert after 7 p.m.  Find time to find yourself, start your career and find your first place to call your own.  

Before You Kick the Bucket: 
The rest of your life
Include in this bucket list career and personal things you want to accomplish throughout the entire span of your life.  This could vary between owning your own vacation home, to writing a novel.  Think of places around the nation or even the world you'd like to visit before you die and plan on making it happen.
