Our most cherished memories we’ll remember from high school won’t be the ones where we aced that test in Maths, but when we couldn’t stop laughing to the point when our stomachs were hurting with our best friends. Your friends are what add meaning to your high school experience, and they’re the ones that make it the unforgettable memory that you will see yourself thinking back on long after you graduate.

So what is a Bucket List and why do you need one, you might ask? A bucket list is basically a written or typed list of goals you want to accomplish throughout your entire life before you “kick the bucket” (in other words, before you leave this world). Think of your Bucket List as a “Living List” as it motivates you to live your life, engage with the world around you and experience new things. It ultimately makes your life more meaningful because you’re driven to pursue those dreams, goals and desires you’ve set for yourself. Creating a Bucket List in high school gives you purpose to create as many memories as you can before you graduate, and it inspires you to work hard for your future.

Your bucket list can have anything you want, and don’t think that you have to achieve all of these goals by the time you graduate high school. You have the rest of your life to achieve them!  But if you have successfully accomplished your entire bucket list, job well done! You can start another one with new dreams.

If you’re lacking some inspiration on how to start your bucket list, you’re in luck because we’ve got the ultimate high school bucket list with 100 goals you can add to your own!
