Bucket List

In middle school I started this list of things I wanted to do before I die. Without having much "life-experience" I had basic things like finish high school, go to college, graduate from both, fly in an airplane, go out of the country, etc... you know, all of the basic ones. Now those have come and gone and after returning from Asia I started making a new list. A few months ago I started watching the (documentary) TV show "The Buried Life" about 4 guys that made a list of 100 things to do before they "kick the bucket" and whenever they cross one thing off, they help a stranger do the same. It isn't the most moral show or whatever but the overall idea of it is fantastic!

After watching a few episodes of this show I started remembering times I've said, "I've always wanted to do that" and started making a more serious list. Over the past few weeks I've checked off 3 items which has really got me pumped so I'm going to share with you this list in hopes that maybe you could help me cross something off! Here we go:
