Being the smarty-pants that you are, I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of ''bucket'' or ''life'' lists (you know those almighty compilations that people make about activities they'd like to complete before they... uh... ''go''? Yes! That's them), but have you ever actually sat down and taken a moment to CREATE one? I hadn't! 

If you find yourself with a minute or two, can I recommend scribbling one out? I mean, it's all well and fabulous to say ''one day, I'm going to feast myself senseless in Italy!'' (and I'm sure that you will!), but having your dreams documented is excellent motivation for acting on them. And with that, here's my list! 

Attend A Speed Dating Event

(Disclaimer: Why yes, I do have a boyfriend, but he's entirely comfortable with me trotting off to one in the name of research!) The idea of speed-dating, where you have a series of one-to-one dates that last from 3-8 minutes each, is mildly horrifying, but can you imagine what an interesting experience it'd be? I'm INTRIGUED! (Plus, one of my best friends swears that they're an absolute blast!)

Try Out A Bunch Of Different Jobs

Can I confess something to you? I FREQUENTLY dream of spending a year taking different jobs (waitressing? Teaching? Assisting in a circus?!) and writing about the experiences. Frequently, I tell you! My only hesitation? The idea of wasting an employer's time. (I do not want to burn bridges or waste anyone's time!) Maybe I should consider various internships? 

Go Sky Diving 

Because life's too short to not be able to exclaim ''I've leapt out of a plane!''

Purchase An Insanely Expensive Pair Of High Heels

I'm a serial saver and a ''that handbag costs $3000?! But you could visit London and back with that!''-ist. The thought of frittering away my pennies on stilettos is BEYOND terrifying.... and strangely appealing!

Invest In Shares & Learn About The Stock Market

It's all a total mystery to me (what are ''all'' ords?!), which is a superb enough reason for it not to be!

Dine At The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant

Now, I could spend five minutes rattling on about why this is on my must-do list, or I could just remind you that... it's a restaurant! Underwater! UNDERWATER! Let's visit it!
