~ Just Bucket List Things ~

Bucket List: - noun - a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime - originating from the saying "to kick the bucket" meaning to die - "I have Croatia on my bucket list! Whats one place you want to go to before you die?"

If having and completing a bucket list isn't #1 on your bucket list, what are you doing?! Jk... but not really.

I believe a bucket list should be your first step in achieving your accomplishments and goals. Whether you are hoping to run a marathon, become a surgeon, or travel the world... START. A. BUCKET. LIST. Write down whatever amazing goals you have for yourself and then go after them. There really is no better feeling than checking something off of your bucket list.

So far in my life I have had some pretty amazing bucket list moments:
