My Bucket List
It is rather ironic that writing my bucket list is now a class assignment that I am required to do. I have been telling myself for a couple years now that I need to make my own bucket list. However, whenever I sit down to write it, I have had trouble coming up with things to add to it. It seems like whenever I am out and about and busy, I think of major things that I would like to do before I die. But when it comes to writing them down, I always forget what it was that I wanted to do.
So here it goes...I am now officially sitting down to write my very own bucket list.
Things I MUST do at Iowa State:
-Get on the Dean's List
-Go Campanilling
-Have my picture on the Iowa State University web page
-Explain the answer to a difficult question in a lecture hall
-Take an art class at the Memorial Union
-Study Abroad
-Get a "B" in Bio 211
-Have three internships
Things I will do before I die:
-Win the Charolais Junior Nationals (or have my future children win it)
-Hold a snake around my neck
-Travel Abroad
-Get Married
-Have Children
-Buy a house with more than one level
-Own my own land/cattle
-Go to Paris
-Learn French
-Make a difference in someone's life
-Live a long and prosperous life
-Pray every day
After completing my list, I went back and proofread what I wrote (as always). I realized that I somewhat stuck to a theme. The majority of the things that I want to do in my life are not wild, crazy, and adventurous, but realistic things that I know will make me happy. I feel like I live my life somewhat like this. I am not someone who will go out on a whim and do something without thinking twice about it. I always ask myself, "Is this a good idea? What will it be like during? Will I be happy with the outcome?" "Why?" is another question that I always, always ask. I'd think of myself as safe, which is okay with me. My list really reminds me of myself. While some people's bucket lists might be wild and crazy, I am okay with mine resembling me as realistic things that will make me happy.
We have a lot of the same ideals. Getting on the Dean's list is a good aspiration to have and in hindsight I should have listed that as well. I like how your bucket list is attainable and realistic, but challenging. Good luck on your list!
ReplyDeleteI love your bucket list for at Iowa State. Most of those things were things I would have never thought of. Get on the Dean's list.. Go Campanilling. How fun :D
ReplyDeleteAlso! you look smokin' in your picture.
I have noticed that I am sort of the opposite as you. I have figured that most of the realistic things will come but I have to force my self to do the things that are out of the ordinary to add that extra little bit of excitement to my life. But all in all your list was awesome. And I must add that I love your blog page and and the length of your blogs. Great content and personality in your blogs!
