On Sunday, October 15, 2017, I decided that I would create a bucket list (how inventive of my 13 year old self, I know). The actual list is much longer than this one, but I thought it would be fun to post a shorter version on this blog. 50 before 50 is just catchier, I guess.
Let’s be real here, I will definitely not be accomplishing all of these things before I hit the big 5 0, and maybe I won’t do all of them in my lifetime. Some of these things are much easier to accomplish than others (purple hair here I come), but I didn’t want to include all of the things that I’d definitely be doing in the next 35 years (what’s the fun in that?). This post will be an interesting one to look back on in ten years, for sure.
Hopefully this gives y’all some inspiration, and we can live out our best coming-of-age movie lives together (just need myself a Timothee Chalamet and I’ll be complete). I grouped the items in the list in certain categories so maybe that’ll help y’all, and happy bucket listing!
