Buried Life Project



Authors Note:
Hey there my name's Jeremy and I am a 17 year High School student. I live with my family of my mom, dad, sister and two cats in Canada. I wrote a bucket list of 50+ things I want to do before I die. Some of the items on my list are more unrealistic than others (example; playing Survivor) but I hope that eventually I get to accomplish all of these things at some point in my life. I think that a lot of us have similar interests and goals in life like travelling and having a good job, but besides those things I think my list show's my hobbies and interests outside of just school. I think one of my main interests that this list reflects is my love for water. I love to do just about any and every activity you can think of in the water, be it water skiing, wake boarding and swimming, I love it all. There are a lot of things like this that I haven't done, like learning to surf and swimming in Jellyfish Lake that I would love to try at least once in my life. Some of my other interests that are reflected from my list are my love of travelling, Survivor and Big Brother. Although I probably will not be able to finish all of these tasks in my lifetime, it's always nice to have a list of goals and things you would like to accomplish, and this is my list..

Now What:
I think that for a lot of the items on my bucket list to become a reality, I would need to do a lot of hard thinking and planning. Some of the items on my list could use each other to come true. For example; buying a Cadillac would mean I would need to get a good paying job and in order for me to get a good paying job, I would need to finish University. I've done one of the first steps for this process being applying for University. Being that this is my last year of High School I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, and how. After months and months of procrastinating I finally sat down and thought about what I wanted to do. This past Saturday I was looking on the University of Manitoba's website and after a while decided I wanted to go into business. 3 days later I have applied and am hoping to be accepted for next year. I think that in the grand scheme of things, everything you do advances you further in your life and connect to other things. In this case, applying for university will hopefully lead me to buying a Cadillac in the future.

  1. I think you would be awesome at plying on survivor and I would actually watch the show if you were on survivor. I also thought when your video ended at the end of your song it was very clean and looked very good.
