[LIVE GR]: Bucket lists and experiences!
The events of this year have given a lot of us time to reflect on our lives, and what we hope to achieve after coronavirus lockdowns end.
Whether you're keen for beach trips or book clubs, join us tomorrow night (Wednesday 12th August) at 7:30pm AEST to discuss:
What's on your bucket list?
For anyone who wants to join in on the discussion tomorrow, here's a list of the questions we chatted about tonight! 😄
I'm gonna head off now, but I've really enjoyed chatting with you guys tonight! 😄
Take care!
Bye everyone! I have to go and have a very late dinner now.
This has been such a great chat! Thanks you to everyone who participated and worked on it! It was so much fun!
A bit of a belated bye everyone (I'm so sleepy haha), and thanks everyone who made this GR so fun! I look forward to reading everyone's responses later!
I hope everyone has a good night and rests well. This chat was really fun, I'm looking forward to next time.
Goodnight.<3
Thanks heaps for putting the questions together like that for us @ecla34! I'm going to try get a couple of the girls to do it with me tomorrow cause I think we all need a little mood booster and reading through tonight has made me reminisce and smile so thanks guys! You're all awesome! ❤

That's so true, and such a good point! It can be sometimes disappointing when you complete something you've wanted to do, but the novelty of it soon fades.
What are the three biggest things you want to do one day?
1- Travel alone, and see as much as possible!
2- Graduate uni, ahah, and go into postgraduate.
3- Finish writing a novel-sized story!
Can a person's bucket list change over time? How do you decide if something's worth adding to your bucket list?
I think so. Some things have to be reconsidered because they're not feasible or too dangerous, for example. I've tried to look up travel websites, reading things that other people have done and would recommend doing and thinking about things that I'd like to do.
Have you ever helped someone else tick something off their bucket list?
Honestly, not that i can think of! (something to add to my bucket list perhaps :P)
Describe a time when you did something you have wanted to do for a long time.
Well I went to my first music festival last year (spilt milk) and it was really, really fun. I love concerts and live music and had been wanting to go to a music festival for ages, so it was a really great experience for me.
@indieinsanus that sounds super fun! live music is the best (that was a goal for me this year, to check out more local live music :P)
what bands did you see? 🙂
@ecla34 Well there were a lot of acts at the festival but my favorites were ocean alley, lime cordiale and juice wrld. I liked juice wrld and I am grateful I got to see him before his unfortunate passing, I hope he rests in peace.
That's so cool @indieinsanus! I've never been to a music festival, only concerts.
@squiggly @Looking_to_improve @Jane_Rose @MB95 if you're online you're welcome to join in on the chat if you'd like! No worries either way 😄
@ecla34 Another thing I've done is using erasable ink to mark the chapter I'm up to. 🙂
I have a 'The last time I did' list as well but it's not very exciting. It's mostly for keeping track of things I don't do often. I was thinking of doing another one for fun things and self-care.
Do you have a bucket list? Why/why not?
I've never liked the idea of making a bucket list for some reason. I don't like setting long-term goals because things change all the time. I also like to live more in the moment rather than planning ahead. But I do have a 'Things I'd Like To Try' list with both big and small things on it. I look at it when I'm bored and want to find something to do.
Do you have a bucketlist? Why or why not?
I don't have a set list of things I want to do, because the things I want to do change overtime. I do have some general things I want to do in my lifetime. But its not really a list. I think bucketlists are cool, I made one for this year, but as you can see that didn't go to plan. But I don't take them seriously, because personally I don't like feeling like I have to do something to feel accomplished in a way? if that makes sense?
So in short, not really.
Do you have a bucket list? Why/why not?
I agree with everyone, I've never had a physical list of any kind, just a bunch of things I'd like to do eventually. I know ideas change all the time and I'm open to that. I feel like if I wrote a list I'll get anxiety from it and constantly check my progress, which isn't the point of a bucket list at all!
