All These Things I've (Never) Done

I was talking to my friend on the phone one night and he asked, "Jordan, do you like parades?" Honestly, I've only seen them on television, but they aren't unpleasant. So I replied with a "yes", which prompted him to ask me whether or not I've been to a parade. I'm a terrible liar, really, so I had to tell him the truth. I've never been to a parade.

Later on today, I'll be watching my first parade. It's got me thinking about all the things I'd like to do in life. I'll compile those into a list and see all that I have completed.

• Travel abroad
• See a parade
• Learn another language
• Save a large amount of money
• Spend a large amount of money
• Work in a bakery
• Write a novel (ugggh I bombed Nanowrimo this year.)
• Publish my work
• Finish a script
• Teach
• Go on a road trip with friends

Out of all of those, I've only traveled (I went to Turkey earlier this year), and am about to see a parade. There's so much I want to do with my life, but how much am I going to be able to do before adulthood and responsibility sets in?
