While being extremely thoughtful and cautious is a good thing… it’s only good to a certain extent. I overplan, micromanage, and overanalyze every move, and I can quickly come up with 200 reasons why something won’t work out, but sometimes you just need to find one reason why it will.
In other words: “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
100. Fall in love

I'm a senior in college, juggling my aspirations to become a doctor with my passions for baking, new experiences, love, and life. Last semester, I studied abroad in Dublin, and I had the time of my life exploring incredible new places, opening my eyes to a whole new world, and being continually amazed at the wonders surrounding me, and I am so blessed to have had this opportunity to be able to witness them. I hope to provide some inspiration and musings on this crazy beautiful world, while making your day a little bit brighter.
I LOVE THIS. Thank you for inspiring me to make my own!!!
xoxoxo
i’m so happy to see #2 crossed off and to know i was with you for #42! however, it saddens me to see #48 has no line through it considering we’ve done that more times than i can count…maybe it wasn’t allll night, but i’m pretty sure like 4-5 a.m. is pretty close? haha your call :] still so proud/jealous of you for sky diving!

I didn’t realize you updated this until I saw your most recent post! I especially love numbers 59 and 87. We’ll definitely be able to conquer number 98 together <3
p.s. I still need to make my own bucket list. Add that to the summer to-do list :]
good luck with your bucket list. I am 52 and now disabled and unable to do many of the things I would have loved to have done. So the moral of this story is DONT STOP! Remember you too will age and dont look back on things that you could have done! Never ever let the almighty dollar get in your way, it will seem much less important in the 2nd half of your live! Better to be poor and had fun than to have tons of money and look back at this list and see no more done on it than today! Dont let that happen I promise you would be sad. Now for the 2nd part doing things for others feels really good when you look back on it!
Have a GREAT life!!!
