Bucket List: Things to Do and See Before I get a Real Job


I call it the list of things I want to do before I get a real job as opposed to the list of things I want to do before I die because I think I might as well do as much as I can before possibly having to settle in one place for a very long time with a job that may not pay enough to let me do all these things.
