The Good Ole Bucket List

After watching the 2007 Bucket List, it gave tons of people the best idea of creating a bucket list. I do recommend you do so. To me it is a fun little thing to make small and big goals. Although this is a list of goals, it is a list of things I want to do before I actually do kick the bucket. I have known too many people that have died young, and I am sure they never once thought their life would end so quickly.My first goal:

1. Finish College

  • I have always wanted to go to college and obviously finish. I have put so money into it to NOT finish. I don't exactly have a plan of going to Graduate School, but if it happens, it happens. A Bachelors is my biggest goal right now.
2. Travel around the United States

  • This WILL happen! If not with Tim, then with myself. I want to go places and see things. I always watch the Discovery Channel which gives insight on where to go and what to do when you are in certain states. That WILL be me one day, that is a promise. 
3. Bungee Jump off a bridge

  • After watching Chasing Liberty a few years back. She goes to Europe and bungee jumps off a bridge, that right there is absolutely my inspiration. Like I said, a bucket list is for big and small things, maybe even stupid things.
4. Sky dive
  • Since Tim and I started dating he got this bright idea that he wants to sky dive for his birthday one year. I attempted to get it done this year but it was such short notice I couldn't come up with the money, so for future reference, this too WILL happen. I will probably try to hold on for dear life, but it will be an experience neither of us could forget.
5. Go to the Superbowl
  • Obviously not number one on my list, but it is on there. I LOVE the atmosphere at a game, the chanting, the yelling, screaming, even the drunk people as long as they aren't raging drunk. And for that game they better have a bad ass half time show. 
6. Backpack across Europe
  • This has always been on my list, it used to be number one, but with all the kidnapping,and danger now a days, it has slowly crept down to the bottom. I do admit I am scared, I heard lots of stories. I know I shouldn't make assumptions of things that would happen to me, but you know what, it happens. Movies scare me, stories scare me, and honestly, you really can't trust anyone you meet.
7. Run a marathon
  • Ever since I seen pictures of the Ann Arbor color run, that is a HUGE goal of mine before I kick the bucket. I plan on losing weight and getting in shape. I want to get my asthma under control and finish in the top 10%.
8. End World Hunger
  • This is down on my list because I know I can't do it alone. Everyone says that just by donating one can you can do justice, but honestly, how do I know where its going? I have heard so many bad rumors of the food never leaving the United States, which is good because we have starving people here too, but when I am told it is going somewhere I expect it to go somewhere. I have done many volunteering acts to help the less needy, but it never seems to be enough. They are always searching for more help each year and sometimes its more than enough and sometimes its not. 
  • I often hear the argument that there is help in the United States but there isn't in other countries. That's crap (just my opinion). UNICEF has been around FOR YEARSSSS! They always have helped different countries. When I was helping (probably when I was 8) it was going to Africa. Do I know if it ever got there? Absolutely not, but we trust people we don't know because it is a great cause. 
  • I have always been one to donate food, I am not stingy, if it was the last can on my shelf, I would do what I could to help someone out because there are sources in the United States I could result to getting food.
For now, that is all, but I am sure I will come back and edit it as often as I can. I have too many goals to count (not 1000) but I have enough.
