Get a job

Everything I was able to cross off my bucket list this year and everything I hope to cross off soon

Working at a pizza chain for a short time counts. I certainly didn't enjoy that job but it was good to be in the workforce. I still write for a newspaper even though at the moment, I have a pretty severe case of writers block. Ever since a family member at Thanksgiving dinner complimented my writing skills and the articles I write, every topic I came up with just didn't seem good enough.

Get my license.

I got my license early this year. I've only rear-ended one person. I've never gotten a speeding ticket though.

Get a car

I drive an adorable 2005 Toyota Scion Xa. It can seriously fit in any parking space. However my dream car is a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala.

Ride in a double decker bus

My sister and I rode one on our way to an open air market in London. I got an adorable dress there that has owls all over it.

Embrace my natural hair

At the moment, this is an accurate representation of what my hair looks like. As my curls start to become more defined they will become curlier. I now only use heat on my hair for special events. I'm now working on taking care of my hair.

Let go of a floating lantern

Funny story behind this. I bought flying lanterns on Amazon not know they're illegal in my state and for good reason. I returned the lanterns and crossed it off because I had clear intentions to let go a flying lantern.

Eat a scone and drink tea in England

My sister said she also wanted to have high tea when we were in London. I'm glad she arranged for us to have high tea it was a lot of fun. It's also a lot more filling than you would think.

Get lost on a purpose

My sister and I did this when we were in Scotland. We were in the cute little town of Portree. We wandered away from our tour bus for a little while to look at the town. I love the colorful houses there.

Buy a MAC lipstick

I just bought a purple lipstick from MAC. I wanted a unique color and I can't wait until it comes in the mail. It looks similar to the above picture.

Go to the cute, locally owned coffee house I've never tried but always wanted to.

I was hesitant to go to this coffee shop because up until that point, I never ventured outside Starbucks. I finally went there one day and was so glad. I love their mocha coffee plus it has dark chocolate in it.

Harry Potter movie marathon

This was a fun girls night with my sister and we drank butterbeer while we watched. Also Butterbeer is delicious.

Ride an airplane

I love European airlines they are so much better than American Airlines. I highly recommend Norwegian airlines. My sister and I went from Oakland to London without stopping in ten hours. The airline provided a great dinner. It was also quiet because of no crying babies or misbehaving toddlers so I was able to get sleep. Also they have screens mounted into every seat so I was able to watch some movies and a few tv shows. When my family goes to New Orleans, we will be flying on United Airlines with a stop in Denver. My mom said they're a step up from Southwest. Southwest is terrible compared to the European airlines. I don't think I'm looking forward to the flight.

If you go to Kings Cross station in London, they have a real platform 9 3/4 and you can get a picture taken for free. The above picture is me at Platform 9 3/4
