Carter, Mattison: Bucket List


·       Travel to all 50 states
·       Visit the Eiffel Tower
·       Visit New York City for Christmas and New Year’s
·       Visit New Orleans for Mardi Gras
·       Visit 9/11 memorial in New York City
Growing up we had the luxury of being able to travel across the country and go on vacations as a family every summer. Those memories from all my childhood vacations have created and fueled my desire to travel and visit all these places before I die.

·       Go to the Arkansas vs. LSU game
Of course being from Arkansas, win or lose, I’m a die-hard Arkansas fan, so I would love to go to the biggest rivalry game of the year. (Even if we never win)

·       Go parasailing and skydiving
Ever since I was little, I’ve always been a thrill seeker. I was never scared to ride the biggest roller coaster or bungee jump from 150 feet in the air. And still to this day very little scares me. 

·       Stay on track to graduate a semester early with my Accounting degree
·       Graduate with honors and at least a 3.8 GPA
·       Be successful in my accounting career
My education has always been one of the most important things to me. Being able to handle school, work, and a social life really says something about your responsibility. 

·       Be able to pay my parents back for college
·       Be able to provide for my own family
·       Buy my own car by 25
My parents have done so much for me throughout the years and I would love nothing more than to graduate and become successful and be able to pay them back for all they’ve put into my college education. I was blessed to have a great childhood and I just hope one day when I have a family to be able to give them an even better life than I had.
