No matter what anyone says, they have a list of things they want to do before they die. This list can contain anything from starting a family to skydiving. Often times, this "bucket list" is a guidance to how to live life. My list is no different. From school, to family, to work, to fun, I've got a road-map to my future just like everyone else.
First of all, I obviously have to get through college. Within the first five days of class, I had already changed my major. Now, just a few weeks further in, I think I may want to change it again. Getting through college is definitely going to be a challenge if I can't find out how I want to do it, so it is obviously the first thing I'm focused on. And all this trouble is just so I can find the job I want.
My life at Iowa State is just a preparation for my future, for my profession, for the rest of my life. All I do here is to ensure that I get into the job I want and am able to make a decent amount of money. As soon as I have that secured, that's when I want to focus on having a family. Family has always been one of the most important parts of my life, as I'm sure it is for almost everyone else. So, naturally, starting a family of my own is something I am very much looking forward to.
Once I've come to settle down and am finally happy with the way my life is, I plan on focusing the majority of my free-time on my biggest hobbies, whether it be music, video games, or anything else, even spending time with my kids. Other than that, my list doesn't get much longer, and I'm totally okay with that.
So no, my "bucket list" isn't full of crazy, intense stuff like bungee jumping or robbing banks (haha), but it is what I want with my life, and what I know will make me happy. I'm okay with a "lame" lifestyle, when my lifestyle is making me happier than most other people out there. So whether your list is lame like mine, or crazy and thrilling, chase after it. Life is too short to not follow your dreams.
