The Bucket List

Hello Blogging Persons!

So I have obviously forgotten what a blog is, considering it’s been about a million years since I have last posted anything.  The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy and hectic in my life!  I am currently working, trying to get ready for fall semester at UNL, attempting to plan a study abroad tour for Spring semester, all while trying to have a life at the same time! 

Since I am also currently trying to plan my whole entire life out (it’s not working) I decided that I would take some time to make my own “Bucket List,” because who doesn’t have something that they want to do before they die.  I obviously have A LOT I want to do before I die, as you can see by my MASSIVE list!  It has taken me forever to make this, but I think I have pretty much everything on here.  I did intentionally leave a few things off though, because I am already planning on doing them, such as my study abroad.  That would’ve knocked off two items in one shot: studying abroad and visiting London.  

There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to my list, except the fact that I either want to do all of these things, or visit these places before I die.  My goal will be to make sure I accomplish every. single. one. of these that is on my list. That is 65 ITEMS!  YIKES!  I don’t know what I am getting myself into, but I am going to force myself to make sure I finish this list.

This is also another reason why I am blogging about my bucket list, besides the fact of just having something to blog about, I want anyone who reads my blog to keep me accountable for doing these.  I am going to periodically be posting about things that I have crossed off my Bucket List, and if I haven’t posted for a while… I want someone to yell at me through their computer and make me go out and do something to cross off one of the items.  YOU HAVE TO YELL! DO YOU HEAR ME?! That’ll make me get off my butt and get things done!
