My Senior Year College Bucket List

Senior Year Bucket List for College - College Bucket List // eyeliner wings and pretty things

I am fairly awful at bucket lists. In fact, I touched upon it in my 19 things before 20 (revisited) post, where I essentially said I am garbage at creating vague, bucket-list-y lists and checking them off because I change my mind so often and have no idea what I want to do.

Sometimes getting A’s is really easy. Sometimes it seems nearly impossible. Sometimes you feel like you’re absolutely busting your ass and still not getting an A. This post is especially for those sometimes.

I’ve done quite a few posts on getting A’s and excelling in school, but I thought a sort of troubleshooting guide to getting A’s could be handy. Sometimes you’re busting your ass and just thinking, “How do I not have an A in this class?!” Sometimes it’s hard for you to self-analyze and realize where you’re going wrong.
