Oh baby.
Can someone please explain to me how it is already half way through February? How, and when, did that happen? It literally feels like December was just yesterday--I'm not kidding. I mean, midterm break is next week, and the week after is March. March! In less than two months, exams, and this whole semester, will be completely over! It still barely feels like it's even started!
In other news, when time goes by quickly, it astonishes me. Frankly, if we're going to talk about being astonished, the fact that I'm 21 still kind of blows my mind. I remember my eighth birthday and it seriously doesn't feel like that long ago (we went to a farm near my house and went tobogganing and played in the snow...hey, there's only so many things you can do when your birthday's in January!). Or even something that wasn't so long ago--my grade twelve prom was three years ago. Three! I remember shopping for my prom dress and it feels like it couldn't have been more than a year ago.
People are always saying that life is too short, and I've never really understood what that meant. I mean, life is the longest thing we have--nothing we do or experience will be longer than our lives on earth (except the afterlife, but let's not get into that). I've always thought that people who said life was too short were kind of silly, but now I think I finally get it. It isn't that life itself is short--70 or 80 years is a really long time--it's more that the time we do have goes by so quickly, that if we don't take advantage of it, it'll all be gone before we know it.
So, in the spirit of taking advantage of our time on earth, I've created a sort of to-do-before-I-die, bucket list type of thing. Here are ten things, in no order, that I would like to accomplish before I die:
- Travel to all the amazing places on my growing list of places I want to visit (Greece, Australia, and Italy, just to name a few);
- Actually learn to speak Spanish (instead of just the few random phrases I know);
- Visit all of the THCF camps (the five I haven't seen, and the new ones being built);
- Finish writing/editing my NaNoWriMo book;
- Possibly get said book published (or another book);
- Find that one person that I want to spend the rest of my life with. That one person that makes me think no other man exists;
- Live in another country for an extended period of time (probably a couple months);
- Meet J K Rowling, Meg Cabot, and Suzanne Collins;
- Do something drastically life changing for me, and no one else; aaaaand...
- Be on a TV show of some sort.
So, what is your bucket list? What kinds of things do you want to do or accomplish before you die? Let me know in the comments!
love <3
