My Anti-Bucket List

The things I don't want to do before I die

Feb 21, 2017

The Anti-Bucket List. Let me explain...Most people know or have a Bucket List-a series of things a person wants to do or places they want to travel before they "kick the bucket."

An Anti-bucket list is a list of all the things a person DOESN'T want to do before they die.

Some of these things might be on someone's bucket list, but they certainly are not on mine. This idea has definitely intrigued me the past few weeks and it was certainly hard to come up with things. I am open to sky-diving and swimming with sharks...trying fun adventurous things...so it was really challenging and enjoyable to figure out what I don't want to do before I die:

1.Ice fishing

Not a fan of fishing. Or freezing.

2.Skiing/snowboarding

I really do not like being cold.

3.Be a member of a studio audience

There's a difference in watching Trashy TV and being on Trashy TV

4.Spend the night in a haunted place

I think I am too late on this one.... @Montevallo

5.See a tornado touch ground

I saw the movie Wizard of OZ, Twister, and Sharknado. That was enough windy spirals of death.

6.Go to a nudist colony

Why is this even a thing.

7.Ride a bull

Not even if its a bull named Fumanchu.

8.Crowd surf

Maybe its that a ton of dirty sweaty strangers touching me doesn't sound appealing or maybe I have seen too many movies where its gone wrong.

9.Tour the White house

Give me a tour of a castle instead!

10.Go vegan

One word: Steak.

11.Serve on a jury

I have seen Legally Blonde and that is all the courtroom experience I hope to have.

12.Go to the bathroom in a port a potty ever again.

Give me a bush instead

13.Do drugs

I don't mean Advil here kiddos...

14.Go to prison/get arrested

I am too much of a Bubble Blowing Baby to go to Prison.

15.Get an oil painting of myself

Maybe of my future pet though...

16.Eat worms

Unless in gummy form.

17. Go hunting

Hiking in the woods in ridiculous clothing? I can do that. Shooting an innocent animal for FUN? No, Thank you and goodnight.

Now of course I can't say "never means never," but certainly these are things I hope I never do. These things on the other hand do help me narrow down what I do want to do in my life time and are very interesting to think about. I hope you're inspired enough to make your own "Anti-Bucket List" or even a regular one!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

579

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

Jessica Pinero

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3070

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
