Cause baby I'm a dreamer...

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today"

~James Dean~

I've always had goals and dreams, always wanted to do something with my life. Now I'm growing up, moving out and moving on in life. Being a kid having everyone around to help you with everything you want to do, help you make goals...that doesn't happen anymore. It's all up to me now. So here are my ambitions...these are the things I want to do before I die.

1. Visit all 7 continents

2. See all 7 wonders

3. Learn to play piano

4. Meet Peyton Manning

5. Meet Anson Dorrance

6. Conquer my fears

7. See Dachau and Auschwitz

8. Go to a world cup game

9. See the Northern Lights

10. Learn to sail

11. Help a complete stranger

12. Fall in love

13. Learn to map the stars

14. Run in a marathon

15. Go to a game at Lucas Oil Stadium

16. Be Remembered
17. Witness a Miracle
18. Change someone's life for the better

Who knows if I'll ever complete the list, and over the years I'll probably add more to it as I cross things off. I guess the point is...set goal for yourselves, even if you don't complete the list it's better to live for something instead of living for nothing. Life doesn't happen twice, so it's time i started living mine.

I think everyone should have a bucket list, something to strive for, something to do! Too often I hear people complain about their lives being stuck..stuck in a rut or stuck in one direction. But these people keep themselves there, they don't go out and make something of themselves. Like with school right now...I absolutely hate it. I complain constantly, which I'm sure my new bestie Travs can't stand haha even though I am so grateful, but in the end I've made a point to get three jobs, taken eighteen hours of class, signed up for summer school, and made a point to transition into graduate school. Has it stressed me out? Yeah, a good majority of the time I am stressed about one thing or another...but I believe that everything I'm doing will work out in the end. That I'll find that happiness I'm looking for, that I'll be able to cross off the goals I've made for myself.
