Be Adventurous

I've always admired my older brothers, and from an early age, I wanted to be just like them. I planned on attending the same high school and university, I thought I had it all figured out. So it came as a complete surprise to people when I announced that instead of going to my "dream school" for college, I'd be moving "across the pond" to Scotland. Then again, I've never been one to do what's expected.
Every time I come home from Europe, I immediately want to go back. As I began compiling things that I wanted to do or goals I wanted to achieve on my "BucKIT List," many included different sites to see around Europe. So I thought to myself, why not get a great education overseas and spend four years exploring the world? And that's just what I'll be doing.
For the amount of things I want to do and try, I sometimes shy away from adventure. Therefore, I wanted to really push myself out of my comfort zone and begin living the life I want to live. So I'm taking a leap (a very large one) and moving to another country, hoping that this "being adventurous" will push me to achieve more risks on my list.

Meet Chandler Parsons

A while back, I made it my goal to meet Houston Rocket's heartthrob Chandler Parsons. At the time that my "fan girl-ing" over him began, he was not a very well known player. Therefore, when I actually met him, people weren't too impressed. They knew he was a promising basketball player but that was about it.
So June 2012, I had to balance mixed emotions as I attempted to keep my cool in front of Parsons, while also explaining to the people around me who he was and why I was so excited.
Now, of course, he's a quite remarkable player liked by men and women for his skill (and beauty!)
Though I wish I could relive this moment and retake this photo (considering it was taken a year ago post workout and pre weight-loss) I will continue to bask in the glory of this photo and the knowledge that I knew of him back before his extreme popularity.

Create a Successful Blog

Over the past few years, I have (unsuccessfully) started several blogs. Though I posted frequently at the beginning, my eagerness began to fizzle and fade.
I had one blog dedicated to my life and another centered around the crazy people in my life. I also started a creative writing blog and one about my quest to watch and review interesting movies. None of these lasted.
However, I've spent some time thinking about how to combine these ideas into one blog. Why? Maybe because I'm starting a new chapter in my life and want a way to keep track of it. Maybe to insure I'm always writing and never bored. Or maybe just because I want to.
When I thought of the idea "BucKIT List," I was quite proud because I had found a way to incorporate my name (Kit) into a commonly used term- I do understand that bucket is spelled with an "et" and wanted to clarify this point.
I plan on writing down things I hope and dream to do, and to explain how they went when I achieve them.
So here's to a new journey: to trying new, adventurous things; to posting frequently (hopefully); and to entertaining my reader(s) (again, hopefully)!
