10 ITEMS TO HIT YOUR BUCKET LIST!
First,...I'll tell you what a bucket list is.
Merriam Webster defines it as;..."a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime"......
Some say;.."a set of goals one sets for him/herself to accomplish in a certain period of time.."
Both definitions are correct!
But.....
Before you start making your list...there are things you have to keep in mind. (Don't worry, I'll tell you what they are)!
#1-Don't make the list all at once:
Maybe the idea of starting a bucket list is overwhelming, but it's not something you want to write at a time. Of course you have to think of what you really want to do! And you don't do all your thinking 'at once'.
#2-Touch all areas of your life:
I believe we all have certain aspects of our lives which are soo interesting. And so, you might want to focus on that aspect of your life when making your list. All your goals will be targeting that very interesting aspect...let's say; your relationships are close to perfection and so your list will go like...1-kiss in rain. 2-Cuddle under a full moon (who would include that in their list?)....and so on. It will only get boring. Instead, touch every aspect of your life....travels, relationships, hobbies, activities, etc. That's the way you make an interesting bucket list.
#3-Read Other People's Lists:
Reading other people's list doesn't mean adding what they have on their list to your own list. Yes, you might have interest in what the person has on his/her list, but more than that, reading people's list is to give you ideas on what to add to your list!
#4-Make Some Items Easier Than the Others:
The way I see it, a bucket list is a challenge (you know it is). And while we challenge ourselves, we should remember to make some of these challenges easier than others. I mean seriously, if all the items on your list seem hard and don't look like they'll happen anytime soon, you'll have a really boring list and twill take ages to tick off an item. Instead, include something you can accomplish TODAY, the next day, or in a week's time. Not just things that'll take 4-5years to accomplish.
#5-Have Fun!:
We all know it, fun is a necessity in life. So while you're making your list, don't forget to have fun. Bucket lists are fun....so writing it should be too! Don't go all serious about it.
Now that you know all there is to know before writing a bucket list, let's get down to the real thing here. The main article.
You should definitely add at least one of these to your list!

Now that you know all there is to know before writing a bucket list, let's get down to the real thing here. The main article.
You should definitely add at least one of these to your list!
- Find True Love: This might sound easy but we all know it's not. Finding true love is literally the task of the century! That's more reason you should add it to your list!
- Become Famous : This is just thrilling! (The mere thought of it).A lot of people crave fame....but you don't get it by just doing nothing. You'll have to work to achieve it. And the first step to doing that is adding it to your bucket list.
- Learn A New Language: This sounds crazy but it's fun actually! Don't you get sick of speaking the same old thing everyday? (Cause I do). Try learninga new language (Other than English and your mother tongue). I'll suggest Spanish, French...they're easiest to learn. And who knows....you might end up in a French or Spanish speaking country!
- Kiss In The Rain: There isn't much to say here really. It's simple...KISS IN THE RAIN....or better yet, under the full moon!
- Travel Round The World: This is what I call fun! If you're someone who loves travels, this should definitely top your list. And guess what?...you could travel the world doing what you love. Me for instance,..will travel round the world on cooking tours! (Crazy much?!)
- Give a Heartfelt Surprise To Someone: we all love surprises, don't we? But for a change, why don't you give a heartfelt surprise to someone instead of receiving?
- Graduate From High School/College/University:Whichever it is, we all want to graduate someday (believe me, there are people who don't graduate). Why don't you make it a priority and add it to your list?....You know you want to!
- Eat Healthy For a Month: Believe it or not, this is even harder than finding true love! We're now used to eating junk foods and sweets, and the healthy fruits and vegetables now taste like sponge (when we do eat them). Why don't you give yourself a break from all the junk and try eating healthy for a Month (or two weeks even). It's boring, but it wouldn't kill you.
- Get My Driver's License: Maybe you've already obtained yours. But just in case you haven't...You should really add this to your list.It's easy too!
- Pursue My passion: We all are passionate about one thing or the other. So this should definitely top your list. If you're passionate about cooking; take up cooking classes (go to a culinary school). If you're passionate about music; you take up music lessons. It's as simple as that!
And.....that's everything! Go start your list now and don't forget to have fun while you're at it!
