Bucket List

High school: Straight A's! This probably sounds really pathetic because, for some people, anything less than straight A's is unacceptable. However, I never gotten straight A's. Maybe I shouldn't have waited until I'm weighed down with AP classes. Nevertheless, I will still work hard and try to achieve this goal before I go to college.

College: Study abroad! I bet a lot of people have wrote about this too. But who doesn't want to? I left the country for the very first time this Thanksgiving to visit my cousin in London, England. It was pretty crazy to fly over the ocean and be on a different spot of the Earth, but England isn't too much different than the US. I would love to go somewhere and study a culture that is different from ours so I can learn and experience something completely new. It would be great to study abroad in Asia, maybe China, or South America.


Life: See Barack Obama in person. Pretty random. Yet this is still a dream of mine. For most of my life, I was never really into politics. But in 8th grade, leading up to the 2008 election, my proclivity for it grew. At first, I was for Hillary, mostly because I knew who she was. But the more I learned, the more I was drawn to Barack Obama. He truly inspired me with his aspirations, values, eloquence, and integrity. My admiration for him led me into my fascination with politics, making me realize how extremely opinionated I am. He became a role model for me and still is. Although having a wall in your room dedicated to newpaper and magazine clippings of something might seem slightly obsessive, he has influenced me in ways for which I am grateful. Just seeing him in person would complete my life.

Bucket List

High School- By the end of high school, one of my goals is to help somebody understand the beauty and importance of religion. I want to make somebody more religious and realize how much it can do for them in their life.

College- I want to go to the Super Bowl, the Masters at Augusta National, and the Final Four all before college is done. I am a big sports fan, so it would be cool to go to his monumental sporting events. It would be exhilarating to see the climax of the sports world and the best events a sports fan can experience.

Life!- I wan to visit every state and see something important or known for in that sate. I feel that it is important for me to know the country that I am living in. Also, seeing and experiencing every single state would be interesting to see how each one is different from the last. I've already been to sixteen states! Just 34 states to go!

High School- I expect to live out a scene from the first American Pie. While some parts of that movie may range from innocent to completely wrong, I think it would make a great story to tell my friends. Sure, I may suffer from the consequences of my actions later on, but what's life without a little pizzazz? Perhaps I can end up building a reputation for extreme sexual prowess by paying some chick to spread it around. Then, as a result of the envy of my friends I would end up taking some laxatives and suffering a messy end. Oh, the possibilities of high school.

College-Super party! Every time I talk to a college student, I always hear about these crazy parties. So, deviating from the Asian stereotype of a huge buzz kill, I think I would like to experience one of these crazy parties. Perhaps I may get hammered to the point that I pass out at one party, and wake up at another the next day. Or from all the alcohol, a super nasty chick would gradually get hotter and hotter from each shot I take, and I end up doing something I will totally regret at the mercy of my friends' laughter. Karma probably has something in store for me from all the abuse I cause.

Life- Saving a stranger's life. While the other two are pretty selfish, the satisfaction of knowing you cheated on death with someone would be quite awesome. Not only would all the ladies love me, but I could get my 15 minutes of fame down, or perhaps even more if it was someone important. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to cause someone to want to jump off a bridge and ingeniously plan a rescue. I would want something more like Spider-Man 2, and save a child from a burning building. Did I mention all the ladies would love me?

Assignment 17: Buckets, Buckets

Welcome to your first blog prompt for 2012! Yay!

A bucket list is a list of everything you want to accomplish before you kick the bucket. That doesn't mean you can't have such a list for specific aspects of your life as well.

To begin the year, generate your own bucket lists - one for high school, one for college, and one for life. Then, write about the priority on each list.

1. What is the number one item on your bucket list before you finish high school?
2. What is the number one item on your bucket list before you finish college?
3. What is the number one item on your bucket list before you finish living?
