26 Things Currently On This 20-Year-Old's Bucket List

Caution: This bucket list is compiled from this individual's personal interests, copying or getting ideas or finding inspiration, by any means, is totally allowed! Aw yeah. Side effects do not include headache, nausea, dizziness while driving but may include eye rolling, giggling or blank stares (That's okay, stay awesome). Disclaimer: This list is always a draft. This list might not be exciting to all. So...let the list begin!

1. Catch a fish IRL

Via wordpress.com

My only experience fishing was when I was Link in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and it SUCKED. How long did it take to catch the fish? DAYS. How much easier do I think it will be IRL? 100000000x. Will I have to bite my words later when I actually try this? Probably. FISH ON!

I also haven't figured out how I want to catch this fish...

2. Perform in the subway

Via wordpress.com

I have no idea what I would do... and I always assumed it would be in the subway of NYC, but why limit myself to that?

3. Go to a taping of the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon

Jimmyyyyy, we go way back! I thought he was funny when he was in Taxi and look at him now. So if I was an audience member in the show, I'd be like

4. Read more articles

This sounds pretty boring. And it is. (I just want to be smart. er.)

5. Solve a Rubik's Cube

Tried. Failed. Will try again. #AlgorithmsMakeNoSense

6. Headbop at SoundOff

If you haven't heard of it, it's basically where we all gather, put on some headphones and jam out. Apparently you can listen to the different DJs at the party and although everyone could be listening to different music, you'll all be dancing to the same beat. #Want

7. Take a picture underwater. #Selfie

Via resize.rbl.ms

I think I'm the only one who hasn't done it.

8. Increase my vocabulary

And not be forced to do it because of the SATs *shudder* (never going back).

Noooo don't absquatulate yet, there's more!

9. Save the environment

This is more a personal career goal of mine being an Environmental Science student and all, saving is a pretty broad term and I'm not exactly sure how I would interpret it but I don't mind spending my life figuring it out.

10. ROAD TRIPS

My friends and I are at least twenty years old. Why hasn't this happened yet?

DO YOU HEAR ME FRIENDS? We need to hop on this.

11. Read 1000 books in my lifetime

I've read 147 books so far, at this rate I have to read 16 books a year until I am 75. I can do this (y) .

12. Skydive

Kind of cliche? Well, YOLO.

13. Backpack, swim or fly to Europe (and beyond)

Yes, I want to travel. I'm pretty sure everyone else does too. Is it cliche? Is it overrated? Maybe, yes and no. I won't know until I try. There's so much to see and experience and the idea of it kind of scares me...but the idea of not going anywhere scares me even more.

Some countries that inspire me:

Greece (the oiliest country)

Turkey

Thailand

South Africa

Scandinavia (not a country)

Austria***

14. ***Go to Green Lake, Austria IN PARTICULAR.

Solnet / Solnet/The Grosby Group

I mean, just LOOK. This park goes UNDERWATER. Maybe I'll take my underwater picture here. #TwoBirdsOneStone

15. Win a contest.

Any contest. Suggestions?

16. Learn Archery

I just think it looks badass, don't you??

17. Make a solar oven

Proceed to bake cookies in said oven. No idea is too small for this bucket list.

#EnvironmentalScienceKidDream

18. Pick up piano again

I've forgotten how to read notes but I still remember how to play some songs. It's time to feel the connection again.

19. Go on a penny date

The small, miniscule romantic side of me swooned a little when I read about it: http://hellogiggles.com/penny-date/

"First, make sure you have a date and a penny. Then, get in the car. Tell your date to pick a number between 1 and 20: Whatever number they pick is the number of turns you have to take. Flip the penny; heads equals a right turn and tails equals a left. Every time you have to stop at an intersection, flip the penny again. On the final flip, turn and see where you end up, and that’s the location your date will take place."

In essence, it's where you go on a date (duh) ...but to where? Consult the penny.

20. Take self-defense classes

Nothing better than feeling awesome knowing that you can kick butt confidently. Skadoosh.

21. Read the Origin of Species

The science community has been raving about Darwin and his work, it's probably time to actually read his work and see what he's all about.

The Origin of Species is freely accessible online!

22. Learn to sew

I think it's interesting how not too long ago, most people could...

I think this is useful to EVERYONE. Being able to sew on buttons, holes, hems in order to keep from buying more clothes. That's smart.

23. Learn to play drums

The items on my list seem to be very similar to each other and this is no different. Are there any re-percussions to drumming? Probably not.

Badum tss.

24. Learn sign language

There's so much to learn in the world! One more thing to be able to do with your hands.

25. Make pasta from scratch

Because a fake noodle is an IMPASTA.

And why not try to make your own food for a change?

Also I've watched too much Food Network.

26. Do something on someone else's bucket list :)

Love thy friends and make them do things on their bucket list too.

These are the 26 things currently on my personal bucket list. It might not seem exciting, it might not be on yours but it's the types of things I've set for myself to do. I think this summer '15 I'll make it a goal to do at least 2-3 of these things and of course, I'll be telling all my friends about it...or they'll join me (willingly or unwillingly MUAHAHAHA).
