So it’s my last semester of high school
ever, and I’m not going to lie, as it gets closer to the end there’s a lot of
questions left unanswered and loose ends left untied. Before I go any further,
I should probably explain that I have no ambition of staying in Winnipeg. It’s
not that I don’t like it here, or even that I wouldn’t be content staying, but
there’s a lot of the world out there and I can’t picture myself living in one
place for my whole life. I think what happens to a lot of people right out of
high school is that they get scared with how much freedom they suddenly have,
and fall into a routine that’s familiar to them… This is not what I want to do.
There are so many possibilities out there, and things to see, and I feel like
now’s the time to experience it all. That being said, this Bucket List has been
a great opportunity for me to start thinking about what it is I want to do with
the rest of my life. I’ve done a list like this before in grade 11, when
everything seemed a far off possibility, and there were a lot of stupid entries
in that one like wrestle a hippo and finish this list. This time, I wanted to
make a legitimate one that I could actually follow through with. It will not
only going to be a guideline to help me map out where it is I want to go, but
will also be a way of making sure that I didn’t fall into a cookie cutter,
vanilla lifestyle. There’s been a lot of editing and revising, but at the end
of the day these are just some of the things I hope to accomplish in the next
couple of years. I’m sure it will change as I start to get older (and hopefully
wiser), but I believe we should always have at least a couple of things that
keep us inspired or driven. My hope is that as soon as I have one thing crossed
off my list there will be another one waiting in the wings… You always have to
have goals, right?
