100 Things To Do In Life - REVISTED

Last Updated:
Thursday, July 1, 2010


While I was in college, I began making a list of 100 things that I wanted to do before I die (Now, they call this a 'Bucket List'). This is my original list from my journal with the addition of a few new things. I've left several blanks at the bottom of the list so that I might add to it as I grow older. I may also change some of my original 100 list if I no longer may have an interest in accomplishing it or I am no longer physically able to do them.

Making this list has helped me get more out of life, focus on what I truly desire, and in the meantime it's even helped me conquer a few fears while having some crazy adventures. It also has encouraged me to widen my horizons and set the limits of life where there are no borders. I've placed an "X" by the things I have already accomplished. Some day I hope they will all be 'X'ed.
