My Bucket List

There comes a point in everyone's life when they realize how precious every moment is. For some this comes early, some consider it their mid-life crisis, and some wait until they are on their deathbed to take note of how they didnt accomplish what they wanted to. There will be things you regret, some things you did and some things you didn't do. Personally I had much rather regret the things I did rather than regretting not doing something that could have altered your life path, leaving you questioning yourself about "what could have been"

With that said, I'm only twenty years old and I still have a long life to live, God willing.  I just don't ever want to get complacent with the same ole day-to-day routine.  Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of goals that somewhat have my life planned out, but spontaneity is a virtue to me. I love random things, why stay in the same ole comfort zone and become complacent? I want to do things that most people consider out of their comfort zone, so some of the things you'll find here are completely off the wall, while some are completely normal, but after all, isn't 'normal' just one's perception of what things should be like?

 So here is my tentative bucket list.
