Bucket list

I'm never really been a fan of the term "goal." It makes me think of my eager to please 12-year-old self, who wanted to conquer the world, one personal progress project at a time.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think goals are all well and good, but can we just call them something else?

Just like some people have an aversion to the word "moist," such is my disgust with the word "goal," it gives me shivers and makes me cringe.

I prefer the idea of bucket lists. One, because I like lists. There is something magical about a list of things (to do, to become, to see, to experience, etc.) It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

But I think that people should have more than one bucket list. There should be a short list, of things that can (are desired to) be done in one year to 18 months and another long list, which should be completed before one dies and often include larger adventures.

I will share some morsels from both my lists.

Short bucket list:
-Graduate college
-Go skydiving
-Visit New York
-Try out for Roller Derby

Long bucket list:
-Travel throughout Europe
-Life in New York City
-Write/Publish a novel

Those are just a few examples.

So what are some things on your short and long bucket lists?
