Reviewing my Bucket List!

Back in June, a couple of days before my 19th birthday, I compiled a "bucket list" that I wanted to complete before I turned 20... It was "20 Things Before I Turn 20!" and I've already failed one of those.



The first thing on my list was about university and having a place for 3rd year... but things became complicated and I was removed from my course, so I'm doing another first year course... so I'd like to amend that and say "have a place for 2nd year"... in which case, I can probably still do it!



Okay... so I'll go through the things that I have already achieved, and then I'll go through the rest of them!



4. Publish Lumen!

Lumen was published in August, I'm not sure of the timing... but I'd say around the 21st! So, that's almost 2 months ago! I've sold a lot of copies, I think I've sold around 80 copies... and you're all amazing!

8. Move Out!

I moved out on the 10th of September! So yay! I'll be posting pictures and doing a blog post about my house, and my room... with the integrated desk ;p hehe

10. Start a YouTube Channel!

This is one of the most recent points that I've completed! I posted a vlog on YouTube on Friday... so, I do have a channel if any of you want to subscribe... because that would be awesome: YouTube

16. Paint something on a Canvas!







I did it! I painted something on a canvas... and I really like it! I just need some place to hang it now.

20. Just Be Happy!

I do that on a day-to-day basis... which were part of the terms and conditions of my bucket list! I have to be happy and wear a smile everyday! And I have been! YAY!



Now, for the things on my bucket list that are going to come!

Reach 500 followers on this blog: so I'm almost 200 people shy of achieving that... but I still have faith that in little over 8 months time I will have 500 followers on this blog. This ties in with my next point, to have over 200,000 page views here... I have over 70k at the moment... I just hope that with more followers comes more hits!



I want to become a vegetarian for a week, this is mainly because I don't eat any fruit or vegetables, and I really need to change that in my lifestyle... so that's still in my bucket list. I also want to get a part-time job, I've never really had a job, besides a paper route, and then a pot washing job for a couple of weeks in a Japanese sushi restaurant. Oh, also, go on holiday, I hope to accomplish this when I go to America... that, or I can take a weekend trip abroad or something... maybe from the part-time job I can save up.



I still want to publish Salem Gates, and I also want to publish Clandestine, this one is going to be my NaNo project for this year as I'm about 10k into it... it just needs finishing! (Look for future blog post on that.) I also have publish the collection of short stories on the list as well: I am 3 out of 20 into that. I still have write gay romance novel on my list: that will get Thomas Jay, a pseudonym of mine out there.



I really really really want to get a tattoo and by the time I'm 20... this will be achieved! I also want to learn how to make cocktails, and also learn French! I've figured that learning how to make cocktails will be a skill that I could use at parties, and it's always good to learn another language.



There you have it... that's a quick review of my bucket list... all the things that I have accomplished and all of the things that I will accomplish by the time I turn 20 on June 9th 2013: a Sunday... oh the joy!
