My Life-Long Bucket List

Katherine Torralba
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Irvine chapter.

Now that I’m about to graduate college, I will have a new level of freedom and free time like never before. Growing up, there were so many things I wanted to do that slowly started to accumulate over the years. Now that I am 21, I feel like I am at a stage where I can start working on fulfilling my need for adventure. 

The following list is composed of activities that have caught my attention at random times in my life. The purpose of this bucket list is that I work on achieving them throughout my life. So, I can do them now, tomorrow, next week, or years from now. The best part is I can always add to it. 

My list consists of my goals, dreams, activities meant to be adventurous adrenaline-filled, providing self-discovery and a lifetime of memories. 

  • Travel (anywhere & everywhere!!)
  • Make new friends all over the world
  • Find “true” love <3
  • Take yoga classes
  • Learn to play the piano 
  • Get a bachelor’s/master’s degree (currently working on it)
  • Go skydiving
  • Take a trip with my best friend
  • Take a trip with my sisters 
  • Get a tattoo (a small one, though)
  • Go to a fashion show
  • Learn how to ski
  • Visit a castle in Europe
  • Visit the Great Wall of China
  • Go to an F1 race
  • Go to Coachella 
  • Go scuba diving 
  • Learn to surf
  • Visit ruins
  • Kiss in the rain (without initiating it)
  • Own a Jeep Rubicon
  • Own a house 
  • See the Mona Lisa painting in person
  • Go on a safari tour
  • Swim with dolphins 
  • Live in New York for a while  
  • Learn to ride a motorcycle 
  • Go to at least one concert per year
  • Get my dream job (I have yet to find out what it is)

P.S. This is somewhat a shortened and PG-13 version of my actual list. 

I have already accomplished some items on this list, yet I feel there is still a lot more for me to do. My #1 item on this list is to travel because I would love to become a citizen of the world, as cheesy as it sounds. I want to appreciate and explore the world through the different cultures, foods, and languages. I want to look back at my life and have some of the best memories. I feel like we should all have a bucket list, so if you don’t have one already, this is your sign to make one of your own!
