40 Before 40 Bucket List

Last Updated on June 13, 2021 by Tina

If I remember correctly, I was 33 when I made my first bucket list. I prepared a list with the title 33 Things To Do Before I Turn 34. I don’t remember anymore what I listed down that time and where that list is but I believe I was able to tick off some items on that list. I was planning to do another list last year with the title 34 Things To Do Before I Turn 35 but I can’t think of 34 interesting or challenging things that can be done in a year so I did not continue.

Last month, my friends Liza, Hanna, and I prepared a bucket list for 2017. Hanna and I agreed that the items must be ticked off before December 31, 2017. I am not sure though if Hanna was able to explain this to Liza because when I read some of the items from Liza’s list, I noticed that some of the items are hard to accomplish by the end of the year. We gave Liza time to revise her list but she said that she is busy so she’ll just try to accomplish as many as she can. The three of us agreed that whoever accomplishes the least will treat the other two for dinner.

Below is the bucket list we prepared which we posted on Instagram and as we tick off one item from the list, we are to post a picture of it being accomplished on Instagram as proof.
