When
I think about dying, I cannot help but reflect on my Bucket List, or the things
I want to do before I die. My Bucket List is full of entries that fit perfectly
into the “American Dream, such as earn my Ph. D, get a great job, and start a
family. However, it is also an expression of who I am and contains many wild
and crazy adventures.
As
an adventurous spirit, many of the things found on my bucket list involve
traveling the world. My biggest goal in life is to travel to each of the seven
continents, although I am fully aware it will be a stretch trying to get to
Antarctica. We live on a planet full of mysteries and I hope that in my time
here I have the chance to uncover some of the Earth's hidden gems!
Along
with having an overwhelming sense of wanderlust, I am also an adrenaline
junkie, which is why the second most important thing on my Bucket List is to go
skydiving. While it sounds crazy to most people, the thought of jumping out of
a perfectly good airplane sounds so incredibly fun to me.
Coming
in at number three, and following suit with the last item on the list, is
bungee jumping off of the Nevis Bungy in New Zealand. Located outside of
Queensland, New Zealand at a height of 134 meters; it is the highest bungee in
the world. Not only does the Nevis combine my love of travel and adrenaline,
but it is located in one of the most scenic parts of the country.
As
I continue to add and subtract things from my Bucket List, I am reminded to
always be grateful for the things I have seen and the places I have been.
