Dear Chummy,
So I've been slacking, like really slacking, and this post is gunna be rubbish (note from the end: maybe not, I kinda like it) but I thought I best post something to fill the dry spell before I get back into it next week - which I will, I promise. I have so much I want to write about but we'll keep it listy.
A few years ago, maybe year nine, I got a little notebook and I started writing a bucket list in it. I still have that notebook and I still cross things off and add things in, so I thought I'd share some of the things I have done and things I still want to do. ok? good
So the first two goals on my list are:
If I turn over the page and pick the top two again, we have:
A few random ones from the rest of the many pages:

So the first two goals on my list are:
- Get up at a set time everyday. - ok so we all know this still isn't happening, maybe i'll work on it. It's nice to see what was most important to younger me.
- Meet Justin Bieber. - now this one did happen. turns out it is actually easier to meet the world's most famous than it is to have a regular sleeping pattern.
If I turn over the page and pick the top two again, we have:
- Be happy. - pretty generic goal here, everyone's aim in life I suppose.
- Go surfing. - this is a nice one, I'd still like to do that but actually learn and do it properly, how rad would that be!
A few random ones from the rest of the many pages:
- Attend a film premiere. - well we did this one together, that was a really long day but I deffo wanna do it again, Mockingjay Part 2? Next Avengers? Anything Potter themed? Please?
- Make a list of 100 books.. read them all. - still yet to do this one. why? you ask, i don't know. It's kinda tough isn't it? I could've done it by now though I suppose.
- Meet twitter followers. - this makes me sound like I thought I was famous haha! I met Kitty I guess, I can't remember who else, you're better at this one than me.
- Climb The Eiffel Tower. - can we do this? It'd be oh so romantic.
- Drive a car. - another generic goal. Been there, done that, will probably do it again.
- Swim with dolphins. - younger me was probably scared from that time my dad took me to florida and everyone swam with the dolphins except for me because they didn't buy me a ticket - if he won't take me, i'll do it my damn self.
- Learn about Stars. - well I couldn't have fulfilled this one any more, I'm doing a physics degree after all.
- Throw out all of my underwear and start again. - this one fills me with excitement and anxiety, how great would it be to be able to do this, but all of my underwear? Are you sure younger me? What about my favourite bra? and ya know, those pairs that you save for that time of the month just in case?
- Be in a TV show audience. - I've ticked this one, counting This is Justin Bieber but really it'd be nice to be in an actual sitcom style show audience, ay.
- Florida with Georgia. - I am determined to make this one happen, I'm so excited it's unreal.
- Be inspired. - this is a silly one, most things I do are because someone inspired me but I guess I mean more deeply. Be inspired to change the world or at least make a difference.
- Inspire. - this is on there too, and that's nice. It's also less silly, it'd be nice to be someone somebody looked up to.
- Travel the World. - this was in a few more words in the book, naming places I want to go to but specifics are unimportant for this goal, I want to learn about so many different places and cultures and maybe learn some new languages. That'd be a dream.
I've already mentioned meeting Justin Bieber but there's a whole bunch of goals in this book dedicated to meeting some celebrity or another, these include:
- Justin, obvs
- Mcfly
- The Wanted
- Ed Sheeran
- Hunger Games Cast
- The Kooks
- Taylor Swift
and you know what? I've ticked them all apart from Taylor and our chances of getting that tick are sky high, we got this.
This list was humbling, I mean younger me was ambitious but in hindsight, everything was realistic. Everything on the list is achievable. Yes maybe at fourteen/fifteen years old there were a lot of restrictions but I'm older now and I could do anything from this list that I wanted to, if I set my mind to it. Also, ambitious as I might have been, it's nice to see that I thought things like 'brush teeth twice daily' 'buy vogue' and 'dye my hair' deserved a place on the list of things to do before I die.
What's also nice is that most of the thing's I've actually ticked off, I've done with you and those I haven't ticked off I want to tick off with you.
In my head this was going to be a short post, but I really got into it - it was fun to write, and I'm putting off revision haha.
Hope you enjoy this.
In a while, crocodile.
