Everybody
has a list of things they want to do before they die. Some things are
unreasonable, while others are easily attainable. That list is generally
referred to as a “Bucket List.” Many people list impossibilities, items more
like a dream than a goal. Others however, wish to do great things that would
help change the world. I don’t know about changing the world, but changing my
own life is a good place to start.
One of the most important things I
want to do is have a family. It sounds simple in concept, but not every person
has the ability to pursue such a dream. I want to be able to marry the love of
my life and grow old with him. A baby or two along the way would make me happy,
too, and I want a partner who can appreciate that.
I also want to see the world. I know
that may be stereotypical, but I’ve always wanted to see some place besides the
US. The one place I would absolutely love to travel to would be Japan, though anyplace
would be nice.
Money is important to everyone,
especially to those of us who don’t have much of it. For once, I want to just
be able to spend as much money as I want on a budget-free shopping spree. I’ll
probably come home with more clothes than I’ll ever wear, but I just want the
thrill of knowing that if I want to spend more than twenty dollars on a pair of
jeans or a shirt, I can without having to worry about buying food for the rest
of the month.
Last but not least, I want to learn
another language fluently. I want to be
able to carry on a conversation with someone who doesn’t speak English and be
able to understand what they’re saying. It sounds ridiculous, but I’ve tried to
learn a new language before, and failed miserably.
All in all, my bucket list is fairly
simple, but I still want to be able to experience all those things. Who knows,
maybe I’ll travel to Japan and learn Japanese before I turn thirty. Until then,
I’m just going to have to settle with living my life to the fullest.
