  2. I really need to do my own bucket list. But thinking of 100 things I want to do feels daunting!

  3. I thought so too, some advice: Separate things out! Like, instead of saying "travel the world" separate the different places you'd like to go. Or instead of saying "learn an instrument or two" be specific and separate them to different things. Also, google "bucket list ideas" lol I did that for some of my list!
