Blog Challenge #2: Bucket Lists

Bucket lists or more specifically "a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying." (Found on merriam-webster.com) Everyone has them, myself included. I have so many that I can hardly write all of them. I honestly can't even remember half of the them. However, I have decided to write down the first 5 things that come to mind that I have or want to have on my bucket list.

1. Go to Scotland:
Ok, I really, really want to go to Scotland before I die. You might wonder why I would pick Scotland of all places. This is because I am part Scottish and my family comes from Scotland. I also haven't been out of the US before, so I am pretty much willing to go anywhere. 

2. Write a book:
First of all, I have only finished one single book from the millions of books that I have started. That is kinda depressing, I know, but I am not very committed when it comes to writing books. Ask my cousin Hannah (http://onceuponafantasy.weebly.com/). You might say that I have already completed this because I have at least one book written, but the book that I did finish was a) really lame b) boring c) wasn't long at all d) etc. etc. etc. So, that does not count in my mind.

3. Own a hedgehog and a fennec fox:
This one I don't even need to explain. Look at these pictures and that's all the explaining you will need before you running to the nearest exotic animal pet store to get these cuties. Hedgehog - Hedgehog Baby - Black Hedgehog Baby - Fennec Fox - Fennec Fox Baby - White Fennec Fox

4. Fall in love:
What can I say, I'm a romantic (sometimes). I know this sounds totally girly and everything, but I am completely serious when I say I want to fall in love with somebody before I die. I have never been in love with somebody before. I mean, I love my family and friends, but falling in love with a single person that you want to spend the rest of your life with is a lot different. I want to really love someone. Chocolate does not count, people!

5.  Make every moment count:
Throughout my life, I want to make every single little moment count. I don't want to die thinking, I could have done this differently or I wish I had done something more with my life. I want to die, knowing that I have lived a complete life, no matter how short it is. That I have filled every single moment full of things and people that I love. I want to die knowing that I had a good life and enjoyed every moment of it. I know that I will have regrets and "what if's." If I died knowing that even through all of the hard stuff, my life has been pretty darn awesome, I would die happy. I would know that I had an amazing life> 

Now, a challenge for all of you peeps. In the comments below, let me know the first 5 things that come to mind that you would like to have on your bucket list. Love y'all!!!
