Many people of various ages make a bucket list. Some people find it silly that anybody makes one. Well I have two...One while I'm here at ISU and one for life in general. They can be filled with various things you just have to dream about what you want to do with your life. Here are my bucket lists...
ISU Bucket List:
1. Become an official ISUer.
2. Join lots of clubs
3. Make lots of new friends
4. Not gain freshman 15
5. Pass all my classes
6. Study abroad in France and Italy
Bucket List for my life:
1. Go skydiving
2. Go Skinny Dipping
3. Get married
4. Have kids
5. Thrive in my industry
6. Have my name known
7. Zipline
8. Travel the world
9. Bungee Jump
10. Grow old with my husband
11. Go Rock Climbing
12. Be apart of fashion week
13. Own my own boutique
14. Live a long and fulfilling life
There will be many more added as the years go on. At this moment in time I feel my list is long and exciting but also loving and sweet. I hope to fulfill many if not all these things.

My actual first post! (first one didn't count!)
There are a few times when I have been at my best but the one time I was at the best I can be was during a car crash last summer. This moment was an extremely unsettling event. It's something my best friend and I will never forget and to this day, my best friend still apologizes for putting me through it.
It was sunny June day when my best friend and I went from our friend's house back to her house to get a box of brownie mix. We were driving and singing being our usual selves. We driving along on a gravel road not knowing that it had rained the night before and the gravel on top was dry but the layer beneath was not. So we are driving going the speed limit when we started swerving. We went from ditch to ditch until the car hit it just right so that we started rolling. The car rolled a total of three and a half times before landing on it's top in the ditch on top of a barbed wire fence.
I had blacked out for the actual rolling and when I came to we were upside down and she was looking at me with tears streaming down her face. (She thought I was a goner!) I looked at her and told her we needed to get out of the car. The whole time working at getting out and getting help I had stayed calm. I feel I was at my best then for it helped us to get help and to get to safety.
Later at the hospital we had tests down and it was concluded that we were fine. My best friend still constantly worrying that I would hate her for life. But all is well and me at my best was me being calm for our safety and getting everything taken care of that needed to be.

This is me.
Hello,
I am Alana Barnett the 2011 Hixson Scholar from Jones County. I am majoring in Creative Design from the Apparel Merchandising and Design program here at Iowa State University. I came from a boy filled family. I am the only girl out of six kids and believe me did it teach me somethings. It taught me to dream big and that I can do anything I put my mind to! I have had the dream of becoming a designer since I was around the age of 13. I would sit around drawing wedding dresses for my friends for when they got married. Then I started designing more and more getting better each time. As I got older I started making dresses, one of the dresses I made was my own design. As I got into high school I was more committed to my decision for what I wanted to be and started researching schools to further my education. Finally I found Iowa State! It was the only college I applied to and I was accepted. From then on I started preparing myself to live my dream and move on with my life to become what I wanted to be. That is a little about me and that's who I am!
