Bucket List

My bucket list is something I started writing after I graduated. I wanted to feel like I was accomplising something now that school was done, and it turned into a list that I constantly add to. You'll see most of these with dates and are crossed off when I finish them. Some are crossed off without dates. They are lists within the lists so things I've started and couldn't tell you when I did them. I know its long. But to keep you all from going through the ridiculous long lists, I've cut it so that you only see things I've completed. I also add to it when I think of something I want to do. So this list will most likely grow.
