Assignment #18 - Megan Ewing - There's a Hole in My Bucket

I’ve always struggled with bucket lists. I’ve never been quite sure why. Maybe it’s that I’m just not that ambitious or that my life could go in so many different directions that there’s no point making a list until I pick a path. It’s certainly not that I don’t think ahead enough. I’ve done plenty of that, being overly paranoid about how a small misstep could put me completely off the rails. But anyways, bucket lists.
In high school, I’d like to keep up my straight A’s but also take senior year easy. I think I deserve a break after what I’ve put myself through this past year. I’d also like to pass more AP exams and raise my ACT score to a 35. All this and I want to save time for myself, friends, and a job. That’s probably a bit too ambitious, but I’m willing to try.
College? That seems so far away, but I’ve only got a year and a half. I suppose I’d like to, obviously, learn and grow and earn my degree. But also, I want to live a bit more freely and have fun experiences. Have a long-term relationship and start learning how to survive on my own.
Life-long goals, man that’s broad! As I said above, I’m not too ambitious and I’ve never had a specific career I’m looking for, but I’d like to go into science or medicine. I’d like to get married eventually, settle down, have a couple kids. I don’t know this is hard.
