Everyone has a bucket list. But if you don’t have one, you might wonder why you would even need one. Well, first because a bucket list is a set of things that you’d want to do before you die and hence would give you an overview of what you really want in life. And most importantly, although for a brief period of time, it helps you retire from the humdrums of a mundane life. Basically, those who look forward to having a fun future make a bucket list so that it is easy when the time comes.
