My *Updated* Bucket List

This is the result of finding my first bucket list I made when I was 12 years old and didn't know the value of money.

My *Updated* Bucket List
upload.wikimedia.org

Remember the days of being in middle school and learning about all the places in the world you could travel to? I couldn't either until I was cleaning my room last week and found my old, 250+ bullet list of things I wanted to do before I die, also known as my bucket list. Let me tell you that this was one of the stupidest things I have ever written. I decided to update it and shrink it. After careful consideration, I have created my new version of my bucket list, comprised of 25 items.

1.) Travel to NYC to watch the ball drop.

2.) Pet a dolphin.

3.) Take a picture with the Hollywood sign.

4.) Participate in a color run.

5.) Get a tattoo.

6.) Own a dog of my own.

7.) Have a fun time at Disney World.

8.) Go skinny dipping.

9.) Watch a Superbowl game in person.

10.) Learn sign language.

11.) Listen to the water fall at Niagara Falls.

12.) Attend a "con".

13.) Shop at the Mall of America.

14.) Complete a 23andMe kit.

15.) Witness a sunrise or sunset from a mountain top.

16.) Make a Christmas Eve box for my family.

17.) Graduate college.

18.) Stargaze from a rooftop.

19.) Live it up at Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

20.) Sing my heart out at a bigtime music festival.

21.) Meet one of my idols.

22.) Release a lantern like Rapunzel.

23.) Conjure something up at the Festival of the Dead in Salem, Massachusetts.

24.) Use my passport to go on a vacation.

25.) Visit all 50 states.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
