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!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

The 14 Stages Of The Last Week Of Class

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
