In case you wanted to know a little more about me, take a look at my bucket list. Only, this isn’t a bucket list. I think that term has such a negative connotation. It’s all these things you HAVE to do before you “kick the bucket.” So much to live up to! (Pardon the pun.) And so what if I don’t get to every single one? Some are more far reaching than others–for example, adopting a pet is much more feasible than travelling to South America! Instead, this is just a list of things I would like to accomplish before, well, sometime.
I created this list on my 25th birthday. So far I have 68 items listed. With this house, I hope to cross off at least five of them. Anyway, here they are (in no particular order):
