What is Bucket List
A bucket list is a list of things that a person wants to do or accomplish before they die. The term “kick the bucket” is an idiom meaning to die, so a bucket list contains goals and dreams that someone wants to achieve while they are still alive.
Some common items on a bucket list can include:
- Traveling to specific destinations like visiting all 7 continents or backpacking across Europe
- Taking part in exciting experiences like skydiving, running a marathon, or climbing a mountain
- Achieving major life goals like getting a dream job, starting a family, or buying a home
- Trying new foods or learning new skills
- Seeing certain natural wonders of the world
- Attending major events like the Olympics or a World Cup
- Doing daring activities like swimming with sharks or bungee jumping
The concept of a bucket list gained popularity after the 2007 movie “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two terminally ill men who set out to complete their bucket lists together. Creating a bucket list can be a fun way to give you motivation and a sense of purpose to go out and have new life experiences while you are able.
