Holly's Bucket List

Holly’s Bucket List
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the
courage to pursue them.” ~Walt Disney

2. #10 Be an extra in a movie
I’ve been a guest on a talk show, been in
the studio audience for a late-night TV
show, but I have yet to be in a movie.
Like I said before, I have lackluster
acting skills.
But it doesn’t take much skill to be an
extra in a movie. Plus you usually get
lunch and maybe even a little bit of cash.
I’ve always been fascinated by the old
Hollywood glitz and glamour. I want to
be a part of it!

3. #9 Write a book
I’m not going to attempt to write the next NY Times Bestseller. Also as a
child, I used to write books (with crudely drawn illustrations, of course). I
actually had a series. It was called “The Lizzie Diaries.” Once I started junior
high school, I had much less time to dedicate to my endeavor. I stopped
writing, which saddens me. It used to be a huge part of me that’s been lost.
That doesn’t mean that I can’t gain my writing skills back. I just need to keep
improving them. Because of my strong interest in a travel, a travel book would
be ideal but a healthy-living book would also be a consideration.

4. #8: Star in a musical (community
theater)
I’m being realistic here. I know
I’m not Broadway material. I’ve
been singing since I was 7
years old, and acting since I
was 12. While I starred in two
high school musical
productions, I knew that my
acting was not stellar so I
decided to give up when I went
to college. But hey, musicals
are a huge part of my life. I
want to improve my acting and
get involved in community
theater.

5. #7 Go on a road trip across
the U.S.A.
While I want to see more of the world, we often
overlook many of the amazing things there are to
see in our country. I haven’t seen Mt.
Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, New
Orleans and so on.
Yes, I’m perfectly aware that I could fly to all of
these destinations, but you don’t really get the full
experience. While it’s true that I get restless sitting
in a car for so long, I have always loved to plan
things. And I love trying new fast food places. So I
could always mix it up by adding some sideshow
attractions and new food options to the trip.
Besides, what’s more quintessential American that
the road trip?

6. #6 Work in Another
Country (For awhile)
While I have studied abroad, I have
never had the opportunity to work
abroad. Equally important to
learning a language abroad is
learning to work with others while
abroad. Learning the cultural
differences from a work setting is an
opportunity I don’t want to pass up
on. Plus, I’ve been born and raised in
the U.S.A. Why not try something
new? I could benefit from a “siesta”
(if I went to Spain) quite a bit.

7. #5 Own my own business
When I was little, I owned my own little
business: Hol’s Co. I made poorly made little
artwork and sold it to my relatives through a
monthly newsletter created on Microsoft
Publisher. I even started my own
“restaurant” in our kitchen where I would
design a fancy menu and ask my parents to
pay me so that I could cook them food that
they had paid for. Ah, childhood. But
seriously, the entrepreneurial spirit inside of
me has not gone away. I still have that
passion. I just have to figure out what my
niche or creative idea would be. I know I will
find it.

8. #4 Run Disney’s Princess Half
Marathon
Just two and a half years ago, I weighed
nearly 35 pounds heavier than I did now. I
primarily relied on a horrible diet and barely
left the couch. When I made a vow to myself
to start running, I kept it. I used to be able to
only run 5 minutes. Now I can run up to an
hour. While I am slow, I am slowly working
my way up. I am confident that with
training, I will be able to accomplish this
race.
Oh? And why Disney Princess? Because
I’ve been obsessed with Disney for my entire
life! It brings so much magic to my life.

9. #3 Go on a world cruise
I did not even know these existed until recently.
But when I did, I knew that it had to be on my
bucket list. For the tiny price of around
$25,000, you can travel the world on a Princess
Cruise. Every year, they typically have two
different round the world cruises. This
January, the 111-day cruise takes you from L.A.
to Hawaii to New Zealand to Australia to
Malaysia to China to Vietnam to Thailand to
Singapore to India to Dubai to Jordan to Egypt
to Italy to France to Spain to Portugal to
Bermuda to Curacao to Bermuda to Ft.
Lauderdale to Columbia to Panama to Costa
Rica to Mexico and ends in Los Angeles. So
perhaps saying “traveling the world” is very
vague…but this is an achievable way to do
it……if I can find the money, that is.

10. #2 Become 100% fluent in
Spanish
I would estimate that I am
anywhere between 60-75%
fluent in Spanish. But, I am not
completely there. After all of the
years and effort I have invested
in learning the language, I want
to be able (for once and for all) be
able to call myself bilingual.
Language learning and
proficiency is a key component
that is sadly lacking in our
school system in the U.S.A.

11. #1 Have a Family
My whole life, I have known that meeting the right
person to start a family with will be important to
me before I “kick the bucket.” I have always been a
family-oriented person. I am extremely close with
my family. I know that starting one of my own is
something that I want.
(Side note if she sees this: NOT ANYTIME
SOON, MOM – DON’T WORRY!)
