A Little Bit About Jessi

Not that you were dying to know who are, but before we get started we'll tell you a little bit about ourselves. Bare with me here.

My name's Jessi. Has been ever since I went through my major Tomboy faze when I was really little and refused to be called Jessica. This was also the same time period that I would only wear wide legged jeans and peace frog tshirts that were 12 sizes too big. Yeah, I had issues. You can say I was a little difficult as a child, but my mom would probably say I was extremely challenging. Rightfully so.

As for who I am, I think I have only just begun to figure that out, cliche, I'm aware. Up until just a couple years ago, I was painfully shy. So much so that mundane everyday tasks made me nervous. I was nervous all the time, that people were watching me even though I knew they wouldn't be - I'm nothing special to look at. I was nervous to wear anything other than simple clothes. I didn't like eating in public (although I still don't, I have no manners.) I just didn't want any attention, until I was in my comfort zone. At which point, I took a liking to the spotlight. I always wanted to be the witty one. Unfortunately for me, I'm not very funny. And that's being very generous to my comedic value.

I (barely) graduated from a typical (and rather "ghetto") high school and didn't further my education. I was just proud of myself for making it out alive. I went through some very rough times in school and became infatuated with the idea of swallowing every pill in our bathroom cabinet. I even attempted this at one very dark point. Now, I'm still debating whether or not I should attend college. I love learning, but only about subjects I'm interested in. Math is Hell in textbook form to me. I consider myself to be intelligent, but I choose to be ignorant of that half of the time. Sue me.

A couple years ago, I began realizing my life was very literally being wasted. Living in fear is not really living at all. And very slowly, and still to this day, I am making my way out of my shell. My goal is just to explore the world, the United States, my town, and everywhere inbetween. And I'd like to share that with others. Especially those of you who love your days eating salad and texting on your iPhone. (I will admit I am jealous of those of you who have iPhones though...)

I'm 22. I love lists (no shit, right?). To say I love animals would be an understatement. I have a boyfriend whom I've been living with for 2 years now. We have 2 cattle dogs together. {Word of advice: do not, I reapeat DO NOT ever - under any circumstances - place 2 dogs red heelers in an apartment. It's bad for everyone involved.} So, yet another hobby of mine is currently trying to domesticate myself. So far pretending that I love doing laundry and cleaning is not working out so well.

And my biggest goal in life is to have my own animal sanctuary - taking in the animals that no one else would.

If you got this far, I'm honestly shocked. Please keep lending us your ideas and sharing your goals with us!

Next up, Emi's introduction!

A Little Bit About Emi

I have developed, in life, what i call, truth. If you ignore life your slowly dying, if you embrace it you start living. It was apparent that i was living to just die. In all honesty, my life had very little meaning.I'm 20 currently. When i was 18 i felt like i was pressured to go to college. So i went for 1 semster. At that moment i didn't feel college was for me, so i dropped out. I became a professional dog groomer at the age of 19. I love what i do, but It still felt like i was missing something!! On November 1, 2009 my entire out look on life changed!! One of my best friend Jeremy and i embarked on our first road trip. We went to wisconsin ( i know not to far) It started a completely new adventure for us.

We then continued to go on road trip all through out the year. I explored Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, and even southern Illionis. Then our grand finale was Puerto Rico! ( we flew of course ) I have learned some much from these experinces. I have seen a rainforest, caves, eagles, and a castle. I have met the most interesting people as well who have taught me to just live. I finally had something to live for. Something to be proud of mostly.

After Jeremy left for the navy I decided to go back to school. I wanted learn as much as I could. So I'm currently enrolled in a community college part-time. I work full-time ( dog grooming ) at a job where I love what i do, but not where I'm doing it. As for my personality I would say I'm extremely out-going. I'm at times loud as well as impatient. I get bored pretty easily. I love to take up new hobbies. I got my bartending license. I also took a class on how to become a wedding planner and also a vet assistance. I'm going to be taking a class on ballet and soon belly dancing. So i guess you can say I'm a jack of all trades.

One last thing about me is I don't have a Bucket list. I have a list of things i have done in my life. I do however, have goals. I hope to one day write a book, travel the world, own a villa in Italy where I can drink wine after I made it. Most importantly, help others achieve their goals or what's on their bucket list!!! So stop dying and start living!!!!

What The Hell's A Bucket List?

Welcome to the The Bucket project!



You're probably wondering how can you base a project around a bucket. Well, you can't. We're refering to a Bucket List.

So what the hell's a bucket list?  A list of things you want to do/see/accomplish before you kick the bucket.

(I highly suggest taking you behind to the store and renting the movie based off of this notion titled none other than "The Bucket List".)

This project is meant to inspire the inner wild child within all of us. It may not amount to something profound or monumental, but I can promise you that it will not be boring. My friend Emi and I have lots of great plans in store and with a little help we'll be able to make them all happen.

All we need from you is to tell us...WHAT'S ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?
