Life for me has been mostly bland and unsurprising with only occasional excitement. My personality and fears are partially the cause of this. For example, I am afraid of heights, so I rarely fly or go on rollercoaster rides. My other subconscious fears have held me back from similar experiences. But coming to college has made me realize that it is time to try new things and expand my horizons; I think a bucket list is the perfect way to start.
The first item on my list is to become a crime scene investigator. The solving of murders and other crimes has always fascinated me since childhood and has led me to believe that helping to solve crimes is something I was meant to do in life. Once I set my mind to do something, I plan to finish it.
Traveling to see the Frida Kahlo museum in Mexico is next on my bucket list. Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist, feminist, and a truly unique person. She paved the way for many female artists and threw out gender expectations. She made women unapologetic about being themselves and about working in male dominated arenas in life.
Despite my inability to swim and my lack of balance, I have always wanted to learn how to surf. Born in a summer month I naturally gravitated towards to beaches and oceans. I have ridden on a glass boat, driven a jet ski, and even petted whales and seals. Yet I have somehow never learned how to surf.
There is more on my bucket list. But if shared it would be never-ending.
