Bucket lists. No, not a list of buckets, but a list of desires for your life before death. Whether you know it or not, we all have a bucket list. Most of us have these lists stored away in our subconscious, or have made them vocal in conversations with friends and others have them written down so we don't lose motivation. Most of the items featured on my bucket list are goals. Whether your list is comprised of goals or desires, it's motivation to keep going. Here are my top five bucket list goals.

1. Visit multiple foreign countries.

I would love to travel and experience other cultures. Not only that, but I would love to experience activities that I couldn't here. Foreign countries have different customs, it would be a gift to experience them.

2. Learn how to drive a stick shift.

Much like my dad, I have always loved cars. Learning how to drive stick like he knows how would be amazing, especially because I would be able to drive a faster car.

3. Make a difference in someone's life.

This compliments the next two things on my list, but making a difference in someone's life is a dream. Making their life better in one way or another is something I've always wanted to do.

4. Become a nurse.

My dream is to become a nurse and I will not let anything get in the way of that. I'm going to be a nurse one day no matter how long it takes.

5. Save a life.

Should I not achieve anything else in life, I would be content in saving a life. My future career in nursing is because of this desire. I have always wanted to make an impact on someone's life and by becoming a nurse, I have the ability to do so. If that impact comes from saving their life or taking their blood pressure - it's worth it.

So whether your bucket list is big or small, know that you can accomplish it. Set your goals and work toward them. Life is too short to put your dreams and adventures on hold. Go out there and start living.
