this makes me stressed

I'm normally okay with all these blog posts, but what makes me get really stressed and anxious is bucket lists. Like, I'm afraid that if I say something that's on my list and then I die, I won't have 'fulfilled my life' or something. Or what if I'm dying and there's something I've always wanted to do but it wasn't on my list? Or if I had one thing to choose off my list and it wasn't the right one?!?!
I'll still write my bucket lists- but seriously, if I die soon, please don't hold me to these.

High School
1. Make memories- Clique, but true. Sometimes I feel like I'm just floating through, but unlike most people, I really enjoy high school and actually want to be able to look back and think of it as a great time.
2. Be able to work hard enough and get into a great college. Yes, I do want it for a 'good education', but like Courtney Burke, I want to be able to rub it in people's faces and for them to gasp when I tell them where I go. (But not stress if I don't! No matter where I go, I'll love college and be getting a great education!) To make it less stressful for the rest of the year, I'm considering Early Decision...
3. BE MORE ATHLETIC. I used to play volleyball and loved it, but I had been stuck with that sport my whole life, so now is the perfect chance to have fun with sports! I really really enjoy playing sports and want to be able to play them well.
4. Get a job (J. Crew and Ann Taylor never called me back but whatevs)
5. Maintain my very small business and possibly stretch it to something bigger? Hit up monogrammeredith.weebly.com if you wanna buy a monogrammed shirt.
6. Learn how to bake a freaking cake. I'm fairly decent at other desserts, but I CANNOT bake a cake to save my life.

*Make memories! I stress too much and want to love everything I do.

College
1. Form good relationships with other students, professors, and people that I'm interested in working with in the future.
2. Stay true to my morals and ideals.
3. Reeeeeeeead lots of books.
4. Start something cool that can change lives.
5. Go to grad school (business or law probably) because I'll love college too much.
6. Join a sorority.
7. NOT go skydiving (sorry y'all, it's just not appealing to me)
8. Stay close with my friends from high school and my youth group.
9. Learn lots. I thrive on knowledge and how much there is to understand and learn, and this is what makes me most excited about college!

*Start something cool that can change lives. I feel like there's something meant for me to do, and I want to find that purpose of my life.

Life
1. Find the love of my life, have an outrageously perfect, extraordinary, lavish wedding, and have a few kids.
2. Stay healthy and make sure I have a healthy family so that I can hopefully be a great-grandmother and see all my kids enjoy life as well.
3. Settle in a city (in the SOUTH), but only after I've seen other places. While I'd love to travel the world, that's never been something that I just absolutely have to do. I'm looking forward to see where I'll end up after college and then settle down with a family of my own.
4. Have a wonderful career. I've set high standards and goals for myself in this area and I hope that I can work hard enough in college to really learn and establish relationships for future professions.
5. ENJOY LIFE.

*Getting married and having a family.
