In my Boss class, it says that my List "bulletlist" is null and give me a run time error but I see no errors can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? The games runs fine if I don't update my boss class. I put in my main class, player class, and bullet class, in as well.

You initialize the list in the constructor:
public Boss(Texture2D newTexture, Vector2 newPosition, Texture2D newBulletTexture)
But, you don't call this constructor. You call Boss boss = new Boss();
Thus the constructor which initializes the list is not called.
You should initialize the list in all constructors:
public Boss()
{
bulletList = new List<Bullet>();
}
Better is too make the default constructor set all the default values, and if you need to set other values in another constructor, is to call the default constructor from the "second" constructor using : this():
public Boss()
{
bulletList = new List<Bullet>();
bulletSpeed = 25;
bulletDamage = 25;
shipDamage = p.health / 2;
health = 2000;
bulletDelayTime = 30;
bulletDelayTimeReset = 30;
MaxBullets = 30;
isVisible = true;
}
public Boss(Texture2D newTexture, Vector2 newPosition, Texture2D newBulletTexture)
: this() //Call default constructor
{
texture = newTexture;
position = newPosition;
bulletTexture = newBulletTexture;
}
