My Bucket List


I'm a huge fan of lists. I make to do lists, grocery lists, lists of ideas and things I want to try, but I've never sat down and hammered out a 'Bucket List'...until today. At twenty-three years old there is so much I have yet to experience, and although this list is very very long, I really do plan to accomplish it all and blog about it in the process. I know this list will change frequently. I'll scratch some things off, and then tack some things on, but it's here, and these are my dreams laid out in text for all to read.
