I personally have been meaning to make a bucket list for quite a while but have always managed to put it off. No more. I think a bucket list is a fantastic idea, there's nothing like a goal to strive for. Basically it's taken some recent upsetting events for me to finally put myself into motion and materialise a list of things I'd like to do with my time on this earth, no matter how big or small. After all, the time we have is limited; you could go out tomorrow or 80 years from now but I've realised there is no time like the present to start living your dreams.
Without further ado here is a short list (I'll add to it) of things I wish to achieve, it'll be going on my bedroom wall where I'll look to it every day as a reminder, ticking off goals as I go.
1. Get a job in journalism at an established newspaper/magazine.
2. Have at least one article published in NME/The Guardian/Total Film.
3. Write a column for one of the above.
4. Meet Morrissey, Emily Haines and Shane Meadows.
5. Attend Oktoberfest, try ALL the beers.
6. Go to Canada, Bruges, Berlin, Tokyo, Prague and Sweden.
7. Write a novel.
8. Walk the South West coastal path.
9. Pay off my student loan.
10. Go skydiving.
11. Go bungee jumping.
12. Get a tattoo.

34. Book my parents on a surprise holiday for their anniversary.

36. Adopt a rescue dog.
So that's my list for now. Does anyone else have something in particular they really want to do? It'd be great to hear in the comments!
That was some list you got there, Lora. And I think there is nothing wrong with having one so you can have something to look forward too. If I have a bucket list, that would be to do some traveling and buying a new car to go on a road trip – just like your dream!
