My most important item on my high school bucket list? Idk man. The obvious answer would be college and good grades, but not dying is a close second. I really want to get into a good college that can get me a good career, so grades and stuff like that will help me do that. But, I am not graduating without beating my freaking 6:08 mile time. 8 seconds is wayyy to close too 5:50 and I will not graduate without it going down. But I’ve gotta put school before athletics, cause my legs wont get me to college.

Bruh college and I better get along. If I am gonna continue going to school (which I will) I better find something I love doing and enjoy my time there. All of those items on the list are important to me, but finding something I’m passionate about is the front runner. I want to do something and make a difference, but also love what I’m doing. I’ve gotta stay dedicated and focused to find what I truly enjoy. (ok, I also really wanna get a cute puppy that I can take hiking and running, but that’s another story for another time.)

Ok, life is a lot to think about. I just wanna be happy and have a great career. Sometimes I’m torn between having a family and getting a really awesome job (hopefully the FBI). Hopefully I can do both. Basically, most of my very distant future is undecided so I just want to have a good life. Live and be happy. That’s my minimum requirements and goals for life.
