The Bucket List

As I had mentioned in my last post, I've created a bucket list! Well, both my roommate/best friend and I created it after wondering what we could do with our lives to not only look back one day and say, "Yeah, I did that!" But to also bring us together once a year after we graduate to keep in touch and reach our goals. Some of them may be a little out there, and we may not be able to do them for another 30 years, but we won't give up until we've crossed off everything off this list!
