List

List: a database containing an ordered array of items (names or topics).

A couple of days ago I began to create a Bucket List which I aim to complete before I ‘kick the bucket’. I did get the idea from a couple friends of mine that have a list already and are on their way to completing it. I’ve spent the last couple of months just sporadically thinking about life and what I wish to squeeze out of it. Yes, I do hope to have a family someday, make a decent living and own a nice car.

I was thinking more along the lines of experience when I began writing the list. Some of them are what you could generally expect to appear on one’s Bucket List such as learn sign language, or visit a foreign country. Others I spent time thinking about, just wondering what sort of things I wanted to achieve in order to feel accomplishment and to feel as though my life was worth living. Some of the items reflect my personality and nature to a tee; ones in which I am extremely excited to complete.

I don’t have anything else to write about in this blog that would interest anyone, so instead I will include the list of 51 items.
