Leap Into Life
I started High School in August. (Welcome to busier stairways, more homework, and a whole lot of people worrying about college transcripts...) Now, before I began this crazy endeavor that we call High School, I wrote a Bucket List. A long one with a few good, reasonable things and then a lot of random things my pre-9th grade self felt needed to be completed before graduation. One High School trimester down and I still stand by my list. I'll share it with you... uncensored! High School Bucket List:
Go out there and have the adventure! Laugh loudly, smile. Be alive. Live with no regrets. Love strongly! Let go of fear. Trust the universe. Take risks. Be HAPPY! So that's my High School bucket list. I printed this out for myself before High School started and I still have it on my desk, as a reminder. Going into High School, I didn't know what to expect. Now, I do. For the most part. I know what my schedule is, where to go for free period, the email address of my math teacher, what location friends will congregate in before lunch. But if I've learned anything from Middle School, it's that just when things start to make sense, life will throw a curveball. But my pre-high school self seemed to be ready for it- what, with the whole "do things that AREN'T on this list" bullet point. As we enter the coming year, I encourage you to come up with your Bucket List or your Resolutions or Mantras or whatever you plan on committing to paper. But as you do this, don't just expect uncertainty. Dream of it, hope for it. Work with it, not against it. Happy New Year! Did you see that one of my goals is to get 1,000 blog subscribers?
