Recently I was cleaning my room and I re-discovered a forgotten pink notebook that contained a bucket list that I wrote in 2011 when I was 12 years old. In case you don't know, a bucket list is a number of experiences, achievements and feelings a person hopes to accomplish before they die. I was content to find that I've achieved large portion of the things, that I could never expect that I would. Here are some of the things that I found on my list
Celebrity
When I was younger I called myself, a fangirl, meaning that I was obsessed and dedicated most of my free time to my favorite celebrities. Several of the 154 things of the list, were related to celebrities. I was happy to see that I achieved most of them.
2. Meet Justin Bieber - In August 8th 2013, I finally cross this out of my bucket list. Meeting Justin was one of the best experiences of my life. I've done an entire blog post about that special that, you can click here to check it out "meeting my idol". I also crossed out "6. get a photo with a celebrity", and "103. have my 11:11 wish come true"
3. Go to Selena Gomez's concert - In 2014 my friend got us tickets to see Selena Gomez's concert. When we arrived there we were surprised by front row tickets. That night I crossed out three things on my bucket list, the number 3 , "1. sit front row in a concert" and "9. touch Selena's hand".
4. date a celebrity - I can't check this out, because it never happened. I don't expect to happen either.
10. Mee t One direction - This was one of the last things I checked off the things I want to do before I die. In December of 2015, I had the craziest day of my life, leading me to accidentally meet 3 out of 5 members of one Direction.
11. Go to more than 10 concerts. - throughout 2011 until this year, I've been fortuned enough to attend more than 50 concerts. Including, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, JB, Selena, One direction, Miley Cyrus and many more

Travel
I always had a passion for traveling, since before I created this bucket list. Most of the items in the bucket list, are in or about places that I've never been to, but here are some that I accomplished or that I wish to, in my upcoming years.
31. Travel with my best friend - For my 15th birthday I travelled with 2 of my best friends to NYC, I wrote an entire blog post in my Trave Series about my adventures in New York during my first visit, that you can click here to check it out. Going to New York shorten my bucket list by many things, "23. shop in NYC", "32. visit broadway", "55. Ride a subway in New York" and more.
43. Got to California - I went to California in the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014. I had so much fun with my family and so many stories to tell about the many adventures we lived together in this amazing state. I also did I blog post about it for my travel series, click here to see it.
97. Move far away - In the same year just a couple months after the day that I came up with this list, I moved from Brazil to the United States.
103. Live in New Zealand - Since I was 12 until this day one of my dream and goal, is to live in New Zealand. My plan is to live in New Zealand, for 6months after I finish High School.

Funny
Many things on my bucket list were very silly, but normal for a 12 year old. Some things I cannot imagine myself doing now.
57. Solve a Rubik's cube - Even thought I have never, I want to check this off my bucket list!
98. Became a fashion designer - I don't think I feel the same way, as I did 5 years ago, about my future job.
114. Have a tomato fight
118. Pet a squirrel
There are many things on the list that were very cute and romantic; however nowadays I don't want any of that, considering that I'm the most unromantic person.
76. kiss under the mistletoe
120. fall accidentally in love
123. Go on a date in Paris - Eww... what was I thinking at the time.
I have not and I don't expect to cross out any of these three things above.

12 year old me
If I told my 12 year old self that I would be in this position of my life where I achieved several of my many dreams, I would probably not believe it. Many of the things on the list seemed impossible at the time, but seeing how much I achieved shows me that anything is possible.
