A bucket list consists of items that people wish to do before they die. Most people list unusual things such as: getting into a shark cage, climbing Mount Everest, backpacking across Europe, or running with the bulls at Pamplona. Some find such experiences fun or exciting, I don’t.
Most of my list is more goal oriented. I want to have a family, that’s my top item. The next is to find a job that I enjoy and that provides for my family. While those two are often listed as life goals rather than bucket list items, I believe they should and can go on a bucket list.
The main theme in my life can be summed up in the phrase “jack of all trades” because I do a little bit of everything, and the rest of my bucket list reflects that description. For example, I am double majoring in college; manage a restaurant; am a certified health safety manager, instructor, and proctor; hold certificates as a pilot and as a scuba diver. All of these count as bucket list items already checked off; I plan to continue to expand my knowledge in those and in new and different areas such as skydiving, learning to ice skate, competing at the national level in some area of expertise, and learning about different cultures, just to name a few not-so-extravagant items. I look forward to seeing what I accomplish and how my bucket list will change over the years
