Evening folks, running later yet again so without further ado, I'm going to tell you about Day 17 of my 30 Day Challenge x, my bucket list! So here is a rough idea of some of the things I want to do before I get too old and stiff to be able to do anything fun!
1. Travel
This is no secret on this blog, and I'm not sure when- or where, but isn't that the point of a Bucket List? I want to see as much as humanly possible with the means I have, and I intend to do it. Barcelona, Athens, LA, New York, Berlin. So many possibilities, so many things to 'tick off.'
2. Skydive
This is the most ridiculous one, but I genuinely would love to do it. I might not act like it a lot, but I genuinely love thrill seeking, and I am definitely doing this in the future. Who knows, I may even pair it with 9. and make people pay to push me out of the plane. Form an orderly queue folks.
3. Buy something important for my parents
 |
| Want a car Dad? |
Despite the recent economic collapse, I really do hope that our generation continues the trend of 'children being better off than their parents.' I'd love to be able to buy my Dad a nice car, or my Mum a new house. My current waitressing budget doesn't quite amount to that yet, but someday!
4. Start a family
 |
| Maybe not. |
This one is definitely on the back burner for now, but eventually I'd like to have a family of my own- no matter what form that family will take. I make excellent chocolate chip cookies, so there is one 'mothering' credential in the bag already.
5. Concerts
 |
| Favourite thing in the world. |
As many and as much as possible, all concerts, any music, every band, every artist. From pub gigs to stadium tours, as long as I can afford it (which is a big IF) I'll be there, making a fool of myself.
6. Visit Paris
 |
| Prettiest city in the World |
This should really be in with 1. but Paris is a city that I really, really, really want to see. I'm not sure why, but France holds a certain appeal in my heart that I can't justify, I don't speak French and I have no French relatives, but it is a beautiful country- and Paris is the most prominent example of this beauty.
7. Splurge on something (or many somethings)
 |
| Dolla makes me holla |
Hopefully the latter, but I do like owning stuff, so whether it's a ridiculous pair of heels, a handbag, a house or a car (Porsche 911 would do nicely.) What's the point of working hard if you can't treat yourself and the people you love (see 3.)
8. Work somewhere I love
 |
| No thanks. |
Now that I'm preparing to apply to universities, I really do have to start thinking about a career, but I cannot imagine anything in this universe that would be worse than working 9-5 every day at some meaningless job that you hate. Even if I have to work hard and long, I want to love what I'm doing, and be proud of it.
9. Give Something Back
 |
| If 1D do, why don't we? |
I feel like everyone should do this, whether it's just a monthly donation to a charity, or a huge gesture, or even just buying a coffee for a homeless person. Why not eh? I don't mean to sound preachy, but with such a massive wealth gap in our country, and indeed the world- why shouldn't those that HAVE, give a little?
10. Punch Somebody
 |
| Are you Sirius?! |
I've just ruined 9 points worth of good feeling with this last one. But I can explain.. Ever since I was little, I have been gathering this inner pent-up rage, and should anyone- big or small, ever try to attack me for real, they will feel the full force of my admittedly tiny fists. You have all been warned. Regardless, it looks like a real adrenaline rush..
Please don't think I'm psychotic.
There you have it, my bucket list. Have a wonderful Saturday!
