Bucket List Number Two

If there is one thing that came from all of last year, it's that life is too short. WAY too short.

When my grandpa was in his last few days of life, he pulled me aside and told me not to work too hard, because life goes by way too fast and you won't be able to do all the things that you want to do in life. He told me that there were a lot of things that he wished he had time for.

After he passed away, I made myself promise that I would do as many things as I could, without worry about cost (to an extent), time, or other people's worries. I have made a long bucket list of all of the things I want to do before I graduate college and have been slowly crossing things off this year. I have crossed off Colorado, Arizona, and Wyoming as places that I have traveled to. I crossed off volunteering in an animal shelter, because we did that on spring break. Today, I crossed off making homemade ice cream with my mentor. One step at a time, I have been crossing things off. I have been working on reading my entire library, but the problem is that it just keeps getting bigger.

All of these things I do in my grandpa's memory.

Okay. Mom, wipe your tears from your eyes and continue on..

I wrote a bucket list last summer while I was at AIT, but I quickly finding myself thinking of so many other things that I want to add to it. (If you haven't read the first list, it is right here.)
Now, this isn't really a bucket list.. its more like.. a Degree list. all the things I want to do before I graduate college and start to settle down.









So here are the additional things that I want to do:

Write a book
Max my PT test
Make play-doh
Make thank you cards for my professors
Spend a day at the lake
Go to the Zoo
Take a paddle boat ride
Go hiking
Take a nap in the grass

There are so many other things that I want to do with my life, but I want to accomplish as many things as possible before I graduate, so I can start settling down and marking things off on my future husband and kids bucket lists.

So the question for the day is...

What is the thing that you look forward the most to doing on your bucket list?
