I never seriously thought
about a bucket list because I’m too young to die. But then I got to thinking
about my favorite quote: “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll
die today.” James Dean probably didn’t figure he was going to die at a young
age either. Therefore, as I began to think about it I
realized there are things I would like to do before I “kicked the bucket.”
First, I would like to travel to Europe and visit the
Louvre and other museums and historical landmarks. I have always enjoyed
history and marvel at the amazing feats people achieved when technology was not as
advanced as it is today quite fascinating. The artworks that were created in a
time period such as the Renaissance are also amazing.
Second, there is the obvious, go skydiving, but instead of
just skydiving I would like to BASE jump. This is where one jumps from the top
of a cliff instead of out of a plane.
Third, I would like to learn how to scuba dive and see
some of the coral reefs in the Caribbean. The life under the sea is spectacular
and to be up close with it would be thrilling.
Fourth, something I’ve always wanted to do is learn how
to rock climb. Then, with that skill be able to climb mountains such as Mount
Everest.
Last but certainly not least, I want to earn at least one
degree. I want to finish my college education and go on to get a master’s
degree or even a doctorate. Then, if it’s possible I would like to get another
degree in something else such as math or chemistry. To be able to learn something
new every day is one of life’s great accomplishments.
As you can see my bucket list is neither glamorous nor
hard to complete. Hopefully in four years I will be able to check off one of
those items.
