So, what’s on your list? Making a Bucket List

First, I must apologize to my fellow dames for my absence from our blog. It has been an incredibly busy few weeks and I’ve had difficulty finding time to write anything of substance on here. For that, I apologize. On a side note-graduate school is more work than I had originally anticipated! Whose with me on that?

On my roughly four hour drive back to school following a recent trip home, I found myself daydreaming on my car ride back about various things that I enjoy and want to experience at one point or another. Although I obviously want to have a career in psychology, there are many other things that I would love to do, but just don’t have the time for right now. But, what’s life worth living if we don’t take the time to experience the things we love in life? Every once and awhile, it’s a good idea to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. However-it’s DEFINITELY okay to get caught up in all the glitz and glam of the more exciting experiences in life, too 🙂

You’ve probably heard of or seen books titled “1000 Things to Do Before You Die” or “Top 1000 Places to Visit before you Die.” To me, it’s always seemed a little overwhelming to look at something like that. How can I possibly have all of those experiences in this lifetime?! It just doesn’t seem possible. Now, I realize-it doesn’t have to be that complicated and overwhelming.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to create my own working Bucket List. A Bucket List is simply a list of things you wish to do. Although many people might want to accomplish this list before they die, you can suit your list to fit your needs.

What’s on my list? I’ll tell you:

  1. Take a photography class. Although I joke about being a photographer if my career in psychology doesn’t work out, I would actually love to have this as my job! I LOVE photography 🙂
  2. Travel to Greece. I’ve never been there, but all the pictures I’ve seen tell me that GREECE=BEAUTY.
  3. See a Broadway show in NYC. I love theater and musicals and all things related. This would be awesome!
  4. Be in NYC for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting.
  5. Take a ballroom dancing class! I think ballroom dancing is so AWESOME-and totally manageable. I don’t promise to be good at, but it would be cool to try.
  6. Learn American Sign Language.
  7. Become fluent in Spanish.
  8. Take a piano lesson. I love music and this is something I’ve always wanted to do.
  9. Visit Platform 9 3/4. What can I say-I LOVE Harry Potter 🙂
  10. Find Joy in Life.
It might not be that long of a list, but you’ve got to start somewhere, right?
So, dames/whoever is out there- what’s on your list? If you don’t have one, it’s really not hard to make one. I challenge you to have the courage to put your hopes and dreams down on paper (or in this case, on the internet).
If you’re looking for a good movie to watch, it’s well worth it to check out “The Bucket List” starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. It’s a touching movie that could help inspire you to make your own list 🙂
Happy writing to you all!
