All my life I have been a thrill seeker. As a baby, I would jump off the highest swing or slide down the steepest slide. That is just the nature of my spirit. Fittingly my bucket list is going to be off the charts crazy and near impossible to complete.
For starters I have always wanted to bungee jump the Grand Canyon and the Niagara Falls. But, cliff jumping one off the tallest cliffs in north America trumps bungee jumping. One cliff is tucked off cove deep in the crisp and clearwater swamps of Florida, perfect for a nice jump. After, I’d scuba dive in the cove and see what creatures dwell in its crystal clear waters.
Beyond jumping off things, I have always wanted to take my mother to Paris. She has always talked such a trip and I would love to fulfil her dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower’s lights pierce the night sky.
But at the very top of my bucket list is sky diving. I can only imagine the weightless sensation of speeding towards the earth at over a hundred miles an hour. I have dreamed of it often an even asked my mother to let me have a go at it. She said “no.” Now, as a college student, I feel the sky is the limit and that everything I have ever wanted to try is just waiting patiently for me to reach out and grab it.
Now on my own I have a lot to think about and plan. However, this responsibility comes with a lot of freedom of which I plan to stretch to its fullest. I am in no rush to complete the tasks on the list, but, I cannot help but to get excited when thinking about the path that lies ahead of me.
