Bucket Lists Are Good For The Soul

Make Your Bucket Life Lists

Bucket Lists Are Good For The Soul
earthbound trading

You have one life, correct? Why not make dreams, goals and keep it on a list. I've learned that one of the most rewarding things is keeping a journal, or bucket list and crossing off or even writing down things that make you feel alive. It can be simple or extravagant, but when you create something that is very personal and important to you, you feel inspired. Life is to enjoy it, yes, but also to achieve your goals and to make something of it.


Journaling and writing with your own hands can be SO much more rewarding than typing or texting. It is your own signature, your own handwriting uniquely to you. It can make you happier and mentally more healthy, like therapy. Writing is a form of the healthiest therapy out there. Not to mention the decrease in language and writing today can REALLY hurt human brains. Keeping a writing hobby in your life is a powerful tool that gives you a huge advantage over others. It allows you to communicate better, work out life problems efficiently, and de-stress from your daily life. Setting goals and then crossing them off in a journal gives you strive and something to work toward and wake up for every morning.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
