Hey Ya'll!

Hey, this is a blog to get me through my bucket list. My roommates and I sat down to make our lists and decided to try and accomplish at least one every semester. Quite a few of mine include traveling and those ones are going to take me a while because as a broke college student, traveling isn't very easy. I will write a post for each one that I accomplish. The first one I did was number 7 on my list. I wanted to try a food that freaks me out. Yesterday, the 26th, I drank a shot of hot sauce. I thought I was going to throw up and the heartburn set in immediately. But I did it! Here is a bit of my list so you can refer back to it if you want. I am of the opinion that a bucket list should never be entirely completed. So I will continue to add onto this when I start running low. If I have done every thing on the list then I have completed all I wanted to. What would be the point in living if there's nothing to do, right? So here we go:

Well so far that's the list. Like I said it will be a work in progress. I will try to get these going so that I can tell you all about my adventures. We have some jars we are saving change in to help pay for our many adventures. Mine is more or less a jar dedicated to Ireland. All I really want out of life is to move to Ireland and be a sheep farmer. A girl isn't asking too much with that is she? Well that's what I am shooting for, but why wait around for that attractive Irishman to come and find me when I could be completing all of the things on my list? I will retire in Ireland but I'm sure going to live before I resign myself to my final resting place! Until next time, God be with you til we meet again, y'all!
