As I have been going through My Ultimate Bucket List trying to figure out which items are more practical to accomplish first, I realized just how many of these things I could do today if I wanted to. Since I have entered into the mindset that I do not want to wait until “someday” to live my life, I have compiled a list of fifty items that I could easily complete within the year. Now, of course, this is not to say that I won’t necessarily complete other items on My Ultimate Bucket List. I am just very confident that the items on this narrowed down list are easily obtainable now or in the very near future. So, with the deadline of one year, join me in setting out to conquer the following:
- Learn a new language
- Reach my goal weight
- Send a message in a bottle
- Get a tattoo
- Run a marathon and finish
- Take a day trip to a wildlife reserve
