Rives, Gregory: My Bucket List

When first asked to make a list of the five things I have to do before I die, I thought to myself that this would be an easy assignment. However, at the inexperienced age of 18 it is difficult to prioritize the most important resolutions in your life. As thoughts streamed through my head most ideas were unrealistic and superficial, but eventually one hit me. The top item on my bucket list would have to be resolving my biological clock. This includes finding my true love and eventually well, you get the picture. Although, I don’t plan to do this anytime soon it is still at the top of my list as the one thing to do before I die. As for the second item, before I die I have to save someone’s life. This idea is the sole driving force behind my aspiration to become a doctor. While items number one and two are selfless and non-materialistic, it is hard to be an American without dreaming of living extravagantly. Which brings me to number three; before I die, I must own a luxury vehicle. The items listed next are quite similar; both deal with overcoming a challenge. At number four is swimming the English channel and at number five is standing atop Mt.Everest. While the last two items are clichés, they are things that I always wanted and thought I could do. Therefore they rest at the bottom of my top five.
