My Bucket List

Bucket List- A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket".


So following the tradition of many college age people I have a bucket list. I've actually had one for a while but decided to put a condensed version of it on here and strike items off as I go. Maybe even include some items that I have already stricken off for funsies. Though I am curious what are some things people have on theirs. Michelle showed me hers, and it helped motivate me to actually write this blog post that I had in my mind a while back. So in no particular order, here's a taste of my probably too long bucket list.

Thats all I have for. That's the censored (that makes you wonder don't it? It's not what you think), shortened version of my bucket list. I hope I can do at least a third of this. Even if I don't do that much, I think it's nice to think of things I want to do with my life, not in a 'never going to do this' capacity but as something I have the possibility of actually doing some day. It's like having goals but so much more. Something that gives me satisfaction just to think about and the join of being able to cross something off is just amazing. So what's your bucket list? What do you want to do in your life? Do you ever think about that, or just live day to day? What things from it, can you do something about, and what things are just as life takes you? Do you have what it takes to just jump in and do what you can?
