Bucket List: Mercy McGee

My goals range from short term to long term and very in attainableness. Here’s what I could think of :)

  • Gain [more] fluency in ASL and use it daily
  • Make or find an ASL club on campus
  • Become comfortable speaking Spanish
  • Find a job that I’m happy in
    • Experience a variety of working environments to gain a better understanding of what I want to do.  
  • Obtain my master’s in education and my teacher’s certification
  • Experience working in an elementary/daycare environment
  • Find a place that I am happy to live in. Ever since my dad moved us down to the south, I’ve been searching for somewhere northern that’s more affordable than my home state of Alaska. There aren’t many opportunities in AK, but I love it with my whole heart, and I have a lot of family up there.
  • Related to the previous, I want to have enough money to “snowbird” (verb referring when people live in AK during the summers and move back down during the winters. Though, I do miss the winters too. They’re very snowy!)
  • Learn to crochet
  • Learn to make plushies and fashion/art dolls
  • Learn to make fursuits
  • Make my own Neocities site. I don’t know what about, I just think it would be fun to learn JavaScript.
  • Learn piano and obtain a keyboard
  • Create a fully developed song (I write lyrics, but I don’t know how to compose, so I would have to learn instrumental!)
  • Display an art piece of mine in a gallery

This list is not comprehensive, but I don’t think a finite list could ever contain everything I want to do in my life. Thank you for reading!
