My Personal Bucket List

This is Payphone by Maroon 5. I've had this song stuck in my head all weekend. I love it so much, surprisingly!

     This weekend, I went to Eliches with my cousins and my brothers. It was all a lot of fun, and I'm glad I went. I feel like a lot of guys look at me now with my short hair, or maybe it's just me. I had a great weekend for the most part, and I've been seriously thinking intensely.
     I apologize for not posting for awhile.  I'm losing a lot of viewers it seems. When I go away from home, I don't bring my laptop with me. It has a weird battery so it has to be plugged in to even work. It's a hassle sometimes to bring it around.
     Anyways, I thought I would post something completely unique. Just note that this is in no way a final product. I will never officially be finished with this "piece". For the past couple of weeks to a month, I have been creating my very own and original bucket list. About a year or two ago, I created another one. I found it in my room the other day and it hurt me a little bit. Was my highest ambition really to attend a NASCAR race or to climb Mt. Everest? Those are just two of the ridiculous things I included on my list. I don't even like NASCAR and I'm definitely not passionate about mountain climbing. It made me feel bad to read some of the things on my original list. I want to actually live my life and do something extraordinary with it. I don't want to be that type of girl that just does something just to do it, ya know? I want to look back on my years and be proud of myself. I want to be proud that I accomplished what I wanted to. This is an entirely new bucket list I created. Every single item on this list is something I actually want to do. All of these items will impact my life in one way or another when I accomplish them. I would just like you to notice that I said "when I accomplish them". It is not a matter of IF I will cross off each and every item, but a matter of when and with who. I would love to hear feedback on this post especially, so let me know what's up.
