Bucket List

High School:
-Be in another show at Lexington Children's Theatre
-Attempt NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)
-Go to prom
-Be okay with my grades/test scores, whatever they are (this is more of a goal than a bucket list item, but that's okay)
-Make a well-informed college decision
     Currently, my top priority is to be in another show with LCT. I've acted in five productions there--one per year since sixth grade--and they have been some of the best times of my life. Theatre was the main thing that brought me out of my shell as a child, and I have only grown to love it more. I've considered following it as a career, but the more logical side of me has moved past that idea. Regardless, I still love theatre and I intend to keep being a part of it.

College:
-Major in something I love
-Keep theatre as a part of my life, but not necessarily as my career plans
-Take fun classes as well as the necessary ones
-Go abroad for a semester/year (possibly Spain?)
-Take risks! (Good risks. Like auditioning for shows. No bad risks.)
     It was hard to pick which of these would be my priority; all of these are really important to me, even if some are riskier than others. I decided on majoring in something that I love because, really, what's the point of college if I'm going to spend all my time studying something that I despise? I want to know that I'll enjoy my college experience as well as my career.

Life:
-Learn American Sign Language
-Become fluent in Spanish
-Have a family
-Write/publish a book
-See the musical "next to normal" live
-Go sky-diving
-Travel as much as possible
-BE A BETTER SINGER (hah at least I can't get any worse)
     Choosing my priority out of these was also really difficult...of course I want to have a family, and of course I want to travel, and of course of course of course to all of them! I decided on learning languages--ASL and Spanish--because they'll be wildly useful and also really fun. Like I said earlier, I want to study abroad, hopefully in a Spanish-speaking country, and become fluent. Also, I've always wanted to know sign language, and I'm actually considering doing that for my mentoring project next year.

Most of all, I want to be happy, as cliche as that is. Being okay with myself and being confident and enjoying myself is important to me in high school, in college, and for the rest of my life.
