Bucket List

Original content or what...

For me, a Bucket List is something I make in my head, make no effort to complete and then completely forget or ignore. 

Even so... I'm making one which I will probably also ignore, but hopefully it will provide some kind of inspiration for anyone who needs it (or encourage me to stop being a lazy arsehole and do some mad shit with my life).

Instead of just making one massive list of random shit I'm splitting it into 5 separate categories for different parts of my life. 

This might be a good idea or a massive waste of time but it's what's happening now. 

The 5 areas will be 1) Travel 2) Personal Development 3) Work 4) Adventure/Miscellaneous 5) Top 10 

Each list will consist of 20 items, then from those lists I'll pick the top 10 overall. I guess that will create the actual bucket list of stuff I HAVE to do before I die. It might seem like some are odd or like I've missed off a load of obvious ones like "skinny dip" or "see the pyramids" but I didn't wanna include anything I've already done and what's the point of writing the same shit as every other list anyway?

 *EDIT* so some things that made my list are cliche AF but.. turns out I wanna do some cliche shit and that's OK  *EDIT* 

FYI the "work" bucket list is going to be based on my career to do with Graphic Design/Illustration so it's all creative based... but if you do this obviously make it relevant to your personal career. 

I'll try to be sort of realistic with these but I guess some stuff I wanna do is just stupid so... we'll see. Anyway, here it is -
