Y’all, this might be my favorite Bucket List yet! Not just because a lot of these things are already started ;)

I’m really excited for this list because:

(1) I’m 27, my favorite # of ALL TIME! Which means that this is bound to be a FANTASTIC year!

(2) A lot of these goals have to do with my educational and career goals, so this year I’m going to spend some time building my resume, my portfolio, and, ultimately, setting myself up for success.

(3) A few of these were suggested to me by other people. My love language is quality time AND I love helping others to succeed, so included those on this list. Seeing another person accomplish something they’ve wanted to do & spending some quality time with some laughs and good memories to look back on? Count me in!

(4) I purposefully left a few spaces blank. Over the past few years I haven’t been able to accomplish everything on my Bucket List, but I have accomplished other things, so I wanted to leave these open for that purpose.
