My Bucket List

The description of myself next to this post is entirely sincere - my greatest passion in life is to enrich it. Unlike most people, my bucket list isn't a list of dream or things I just hope to do one day; it's more of a checklist, because I have the intention of completing every item on this list.

Because my wishes, ambitions, and interests are prone to change, I'll be updating this post regularly. So check back often, if you're interested, and I'll put up a new post each time I accomplish an item on the list.
