The Bucket List

I started this list YEARS ago, like no joke, I started this when I was on myspace, THAT'S how old it is. I mentioned it while having ice cream with a friend and it made me want to resurrect it.

Another goal by the time I leave Marseille is to complete this list. I'm sure I can think of 100 things to do before I die, especially now that I'm just around the corner of 23, I have more of an idea what I want out of this life. I've also updated it a bit to take out a lot of my 16 year old "Date a celebrity" goals hahaha
