Terry, Colin: Bucket List

Life is much more fun when you have things to look forward to. Doing something as simple as creating a bucket list allows an individual to express his or her adventurous side and attempt to live life to the fullest.

My bucket list contains only the five greatest adventures I want to complete. First off, I would love to at least set foot on every continent. Completing this would allow me to get to know what all of the earth’s landscape looks like. How cool would it be to get to experience the scenery I have seen on television for years for myself? Second, I would enjoy skydiving. I could only imagine the thrill as I came crashing down through the sky, my life solely relying on a simple piece of fabric. If I ever were to skydive I would want one of the helmet cameras so that I could enjoy the thrill over and over again on demand. Third, I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights in person. Ever since I first heard about them I have been longing to go visit Alaska. All of the different colors are so intriguing. Fourth, I want to live in Australia for at least a year. I find the Australian culture extremely interesting, and I believe it would be amazing to immerse myself in the culture. Last, I would love to experience weightlessness, such as in a NASA training facility. Not being held down by gravity would be such a different feel and would allow me to obtain a new meaning of freedom.

Overall, my bucket list contains most of the average items as any other. Regardless, completing this list and making it longer, will always be a goal that I hope to accomplish in life. I am always looking for an adventure.
