The rest of our lives are unwritten stories that could fill pages and pages of an empty journal. A typical day could be mundane, thrilling, or sometimes downright horrifying but at the end of the day something has been accomplished. Thankfully we have 365 days each year to make memories, both spectacular and awful; to go on successful adventures -- or adventures that cause nothing but hilarious memories. To make these goals a reality, we often devise a bucket list: a list of goals and dream to be achieved before we get the bucket. Ever since the invention of Pinterest I have been keeping track oaf some of my more adventurous plans via my Pinboard so cleverly entitled The Rest is Still Unwritten, not just because it was the theme song to the Hills but because really and truly the rest is still unwritten. Here are some of the feats that I hope to accomplish in the next 80ish years of my life, some are outlandish and extremely lofty while others are incredibly simple or easily attainable :
