Now that I asked myself that question, I realize my bucket list has certainly evolved over the years. At 8-years-old, I wanted nothing more than to go to Disney World. At 15-years-old, I wanted to go to my very first music festival. When I was 20-years-old, I had my mind made up that I wanted [...]
Skydiving. It is something that I think you could find on most people’s bucket list and is always hyped-up as the go-to adrenaline junkie activity. For me, it was a little different.

If “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” is nowhere in sight on your bucket list, it should be. The Kentucky Derby is a horse race held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first Saturday in May and this year I had the opportunity to cross this one off the bucket list and attend. It’s [...]
