I normally make seasonal bucket lists to kind of motivate me
to accomplish things throughout each season and especially over the summer. I
made a small one this summer but I’ve been thinking about bigger things. About
my life as a whole. Time now seems so precious. I think it mostly has to do with
the fact that I won’t be going back to my life at college and sitting in a
classroom being told what to do for a semester. Rather, it’s my time to make myself
busy with what I want to do. What’s my personal course schedule? A job,
studying for the GRE, blogging, volunteering? This past year has been full of ups and downs.
With that, I’ve found myself thinking about the future and what I really want
to accomplish in my life. I have tons of notebooks full of different lists and
plans and a multitude of thoughts that circle around in my mind. I’m still in
the process of figuring all of it out and this summer is definitely giving me
time to do that.
If there’s one thing I’ve been taught, it’s to write down
everything you want to accomplish. Every single detail. If you write it down,
it’s more probable to happen or be accomplished than you think. I think this
bucket list is perfect for that. This list is minute comparable to all the
things I want to accomplish in my life but I think one for my twenties is just
perfect. This list contains the top things I would love to accomplish in my
twenties and the list will definitely increase as time goes on. Here’s a peek
of mine!

What do you want to accomplish in your twenties? What will
you look back on and regret not doing? Ask yourself these questions and really
allow yourself to dream. NOTHING is off limits. Don’t ever forget the only one
stopping you from achieving anything you want in life is yourself (something I constantly have to remind
myself). Give this a try and let me know what’s on your list with a comment
below! Let me know what you think!
