As many of you know, I have American flat mates in my halls of residence. On many occasions my flatmate used the term ‘bucket list’, now until that day I never knew what a bucket list was – then she explained it to me.
A bucket list is a list of things that you want to do or achieve before you pass away (as morbid as that is!). You don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow, so I always say live everyday like it is your last & then you’ll have no regrets.
It got me thinking, what would I want to do before I pass away? Things that are unusual, thrilling but also things that I have my heart set of for a while.
Here are a few of the things that I picked from my bucket list:
– To have visited every continent in the world
– To have competed at HOYS (Horse Of The Year Show) and Olympia
– To have swum with dolphins
– To have met somebody famous
… And the list goes on!
Have any of you thought of having or making a bucket list? Maybe it would focus your aims a bit in life to try and successfully tick off things as you go. Remember though, only YOU can ensure you achieve all the things on your bucket list, so get thinking, planning and ticking off!
