In the season of new year\u2019s resolutions and the panic of my pending graduation, I\u2019ve developed a bucket list for my final months at UPS. I\u2019ve crossed some of them off my list already\u2014but it looks like I\u2019m going to have quite the semester if I\u2019m going to get these crossed off!<\/p>\n
Attend a Concert at the Gorge<\/strong>– Some of the best musical artists come to play at this natural amphitheater, and its so close to Tacoma! However, this may mean that I have to wait until Sasquatch festival in May\u2026 THEN SO BE IT!<\/p>\n Fireside Dinner with Ron Thom<\/strong>– CHECK! I got to spend a lovely evening in Ron Thom\u2019s on-campus house with amazing food and great company. Everyone should be trying to get into these dinners since they are amazing.<\/p>\n Wintergrass Festiva<\/strong>l- I went my freshman year, and had so much fun.

Through my research, I\u2019ve met Carrie Little of Mother Earth Farms out of Puyallup who is one of the most amazing women I\u2019ve met. All the produce from the farm goes to the Emergency Food Network. If that wasn\u2019t cool enough, she also works with the women\u2019s prison who work for college credit on her farm. Basically, I want to be her. http:\/\/www.efoodnet.org\/Page11.aspx<\/p>\n Ski Stevens Pass<\/strong>-I\u2019ve skied snowqualmie, crystal and baker, but am yet to hit up Stevens pass and this just has to happen before May. http:\/\/www.stevenspass.com\/<\/p>\n Hot Springs<\/strong> \u2013 Some rugged treks in the wilderness to clothing optional soothing water in the middle of evergreen forests has been a Washington dream of mine\u2026 I\u2019ve heard about Gamma, Olympic, Wind River, and Goldmeyer hot springs.<\/p>\n Eat at Pho King<\/strong>\u2014I miss Vietnamese Food, and I\u2019ve heard they\u2019re the best. On MLK next to Second Cycle.<\/p>\n Swim Jones Fountain<\/strong>– Enough Said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the season of new year\u2019s resolutions and the panic of my pending graduation, I\u2019ve developed a bucket list for my final months at UPS.
