In 20 days I will be 20. As my teenage years come to an end, I think about the things that I can and want to do as a 20-year-old. Things that I was afraid of before or new things that now interest me. I decided to share my 20’s bucket list in hopes of inspiring everyone to take advantage of their 20’s and make the most of them.

 

  • Explore my college town, Lexington, Ky

 

  • Explore my hometown, Atlanta, Ga

 

  • Study abroad in either Europe or Australia

 

  • Try a new food every month

 

  • Read the classics: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scarlet Letter, etc.

 

  • Travel alone

 

  • Travel with friends

 

  • Go on a road trip across the U.S.

 

  • Create a travel blog

 

  • Fill my passport

 

  • Take a weekend trip with my mom

 

  • Go to a concert

 

  • Go to a food festival

 

  • Start a journal

 

  • Take calligraphy lessons

 

  • Learn a new language, preferably Italian

 

  • Graduate from the University of Kentucky

 

  • Apply and graduate from Grad School with a Masters in Clinical Psychology

 

  • Apply for PhD program, Forensic Psychology

 

  • Score my dream job, working for a police department as their forensic psychologist

 

I want to make the most of my 20’s and enjoy them. I do not know if I will accomplish everything on this list, but I would like to try. I plan on crossing one of these off on my 20th birthday. April 19th will be the start of me trying new things and learning about the world around me. I feel like this bucket list will help me learn who I am and what my interests are.
