The Bucket List | Age 16

  • Send a message in a bottle
  • Go to the creek and eat a peanut and jelly sandwich, carry it in a bandana on a stick like a hobo
  • make cookies from the cookie dough in cookie dough ice cream
  • go under a waterfall
  • visit another country
  • fly a plane
  • surf
  • be asked out properly on a real proper date
  • go to a Michael Buble concert

Many people are strange and quirky as kids, but become more normal and socially acceptable as they grow older. But with me, it seems the older I get the more bizarre my bucket list goals become. Send a message in a bottle, that’s pretty cool. But, the second goal? A pb&j wrapped in a bandanna?… who am I?? I’m not sure what unfortunate series of events led to that desire, but who knows, I may cross it off one day.

I have been under many artificial waterfalls, however I am waiting waiting for that one natural, magical, Lizzie-McGuire-Movie moment, where I can stand behind a rushing majestic waterfall.

What I meant by a ‘real’ and ‘proper’ date was a date where I didn’t have to make the first move and make all the plans. Either I am impatient or boys can be so dense!
