The Bucketlist (1-250)
I'm getting pretty tired of having no ambitions. Mediocrity has just consumed me so wholly that I've become content with reaching for the covers instead of the goals I once scribbled on that "Where will you be in ten years?" essay from 12th Grade English class.
I'm ready to move on with my life. I mean come on. Let's put some effort into this puppy of an existence. How old am I? Twenty? Pretty soon this pep in my step is going to get sucked into the quicksand of real life adulthood responsibilities. I'm not havin' it.
Time to do something. Time to think about what it truly means to be alive and to live the dream. THE DREAAAAAM.
I'm writing a bucket list. I say "writing" because I was dumb and made item #1 to make a bucket list with 1000 items and it's going to take forever. But I'm moving on with my life. Seizing the day, doing everything and anything that constitutes being alive.
Join me. Do these things too, make your own, help me out, or live vicariously through my adventures. Do what you want. You don't have to be on your deathbed to write a bucket list. Hell, I won't even call this a bucket list if you're so convinced that you need to have weeks to live for it to be legitimate. Call it a "Do This Now Because You're Alive" list. Yeah.
Note: Some of these items are near impossible to do now, but I'm including them because it's good to keep them in mind. I need to know what I'm working toward and that there are things I should be doing in order to fully live my life even as a full fledged adult.
I will update as I add more. My apologies if there are repeats, I started this list a long time ago and may have forgotten if I already added something. Please leave suggestions in the comments <3
