My Bucket (F**k it) List

This epic and unconventional bucket list (or as I like to call it the "F**k It" list because why not?) is packed with adventure, soul-searching, spontaneity, and some downright wild ideas.

I broke down the list into separate categories. The items in red are DONE, the one's underlined in blue will have my story/blog post associated with the crossed off event!
