The musings and misadventures of a girl unprepared

Bucket List

I first wrote this list when I was 14, which I hope explains why some of these things are on here. Since then I've added to it every time I've thought of something new and will continue to do so, I doubt I'm ever going to complete it... At least I'll always have something to aim for :)

  1. You have just inspired me to write a bucket list, Emily! I don't even think it's classed as revision procrastination, I think it's far more important than revision ;)
