Bucket List

I've never really been one to make a bucket list or plan my future. I guess I used to think that a bucket list was a setup for disappointment more than something that will help you grow. I mean, I've always been a believer in setting goals, but maybe not a list of goals to do before you die.

Or maybe I was just not far enough along in my life to see my future laying wide open in front of me. (I'm sort of freaking out about not knowing where I could be going in 3 months. It literally could be anywhere.)

I recent addition to my bucket list is becoming a professor. I've never really wanted to go back to school (ever), but since I've become a TA I've realized that I could actually be a good teacher and that it could be fun. I checked the midterm grades of the students that I tutored, and ALL of them got above a 90, and one of them even got a hundred on the exam! That was the greatest feeling ever!

Another thing I'm adding to my bucket list is going to a culinary school. After watching lots of the Food Network, I've had a desire to create delicious meals, and not have to always follow a recipe. I think I would enjoy that as well as a good way to provide for my family.

So here is my bucket list for the (after college future)

• Get an MBA or PhD in Marketing and teach (great option for when I'm a mother)
• Go to culinary school or at least take some culinary classes at a community college or something 
• Record a CD (probably a Christmas CD) 
• Go on a cruise 
• Visit Europe and go to all those wonderful places I learned about in my Humanities class
• Go skydiving (this has been CROSSED OFF on account of my not wanting to die) 
• Go on the biggest roller coaster in the world- twice. :) 
• Sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
• Visit Aliesha in Brisbane, Australia

What else should go on here? I mean, obviously I want to have kids, go on a mission, blah blah blah but this is the list of things I want to do that aren't typical.
