Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I know that this life is meant for more than just sitting around, playing Wii, wondering why on earth you are watching Doctor Who (and debating whether you actually like it or not), just waiting to die. We are supposed to be actively, and anxiously engaged in a good cause. The greatest cause, I suppose, is loving and serving those around us. What could be a better way of spending our time than that?
I sense I’m to continually try to improve myself: at writing, piano, getting to bed at a decent time, health wise, etc. I also sense that should get married and raise a family, though at the rate that’s going . . . Just kidding, I’m only 20.This stuff is great and all, but kind of boring. Instead of what I’m supposed to do, what if I write out what I want to do instead??
My Short-Version Bucket List
-
Eat a meal with someone important. This isn’t necessarily someone famous, but it’s also not my family either. They’re important, but I can eat with them whenever I want.
-
Have a significant role in a play. I don’t have to be the title character, but I’d like to be in more than two or three scenes and have a speaking part I’d actually have to work at memorizing.
- Visit another country.
-
Go on a date with a man who has a British, Irish, Scottish, Italian, or French accent.
-
Kiss someone absolutely spontaneously. Like they do in the movies! Could be under mistletoe, or after running to each other from opposite sides of the room/street/airport, or even right after I’ve slapped him in the face.
-
Read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
-
Write a novel, get it published, and have people who don’t even know me read it.
-
Weigh 130 pounds again, for at least a few days, lol. Wouldn’t that be great? I haven’t been 130 pounds since 8th grade. My “healthy” weight is actually around 118-160 (according to this website), but hey, if I’m dreaming I might as well dream big! (or small technically, lol).
