Wynn, Alex: Bucket List

There are several things that people dream of doing before they pass on to the next life. These mortal aspirations are commonly known as a bucket list. Some people dream of meeting special people or traveling to exotic places. My personal bucket list is comprised of some very physical activities.


The first thing that I plan on doing before it’s too late is to go skydiving. I want to experience the rush of wind beating on my body from all directions as I plummet from thousands of feet towards the earth. I want to view all of the tiny objects that seem so big from the ground. This is also a very practical thing to put on one’s bucket list since there is such a good chance of dying in the process.


My father and I are very big hunters and fishermen. We love to be outdoors testing our skills. Because of that, the next item on my bucket list is to go hunting with my father at a place where you are guaranteed to bag a trophy buck with my father. I can hardly imagine the rush of adrenaline we will experience when we see twelve antlers cross our path. Our competitiveness will be pushed to a new level if we were we put in a situation where we were surrounded with massive, trophy deer.


The biggest aspiration I have to be before I die is to become president of the United States. I’m a political science major and enjoy politics very much. So, I’m taking the first steps on the necessary path, but still I have a long way to go.
