1. My number one priority for high school is to ensure the best college application I can. I've more-or-less accepted the reality of my high school career, and it's whatever, but I have a chance now not only to escape having to think about the place where I currently am, but to ensure that the place I am in about a year in a half is much, much better.
2. I think the conventional "bucket list" items start here. I'm pretty much resigned to my current circumstances in high school, but college is a whole different animal. My number one bucket list item for college is to study outside of the country. I've never left the US, and I haven't been west of Texas since I was two, so I want to be able to broaden my horizons a little bit before truly entering the terrifyingly looming "adult world." Leaving the US (or, minimally, seeing the pacific ocean) would be an awesome way to do so, and doing so while simultaneously learning something productive would be a total win-win.
3. So, I realize this is a really stupid bucket list item, especially for the "number one thing before I finish living," but I want to go to the Rose Bowl. There's just something about it; I honestly don't know what it is, but every time they show that same exact shot of the sun setting behind the mountains looking over the ancient stadium hosting the most significant bowl game of the year, I'm uncharacteristically moved. I think the Rose Bowl is the only truly tangible thing that I know I want to experience at some point.
