Revisited: Fall Bucket List

I decided to look at my fall bucket list to see how many things I actually accomplished.  As you can see below, I did a pretty crappy job of completing the majority of things on this list.  Granted, this list wasn't actually a very big priority for me this fall.  I've never really done a bucket list, or a seasonal bucket list.  Judging by how this went, if I try a bucket list again, I'm going to need to come to it with a better attitude than I did this one.  The things that were on my real bucket list, not listed here, were successfully teach my first semester, and develop relationships in the community around me.  I did those things, so YAY!  Below you'll find the original list with things I actually did crossed off, and additional comments.

I found this on Pinterest, but I thought it was a good list.  


-pick apples--> had no place to
-make leaf art-->no time
-go on a hay-ride-->no resources
-jump in a leaf pile, pictures optional-->nope
-enjoy a bonfire, and smores!-->:(
-make caramel apples-->too much mess
-corn maze-I've actually never done this because when you've grown up around corn, it's simply not fascinating
-go to a pumpkin patch-->nope
-go on 2 dates (Ha!)--see peeps who told me this would, happen it DIDN'T!
-make fall cookies-what are those, Snickerdoodles?--->I made choc. chip cookies once?
-take a nature walk, and photo-document it-->no time
-trick-or-treat-->um no.
-bake pies-well duh
-decorate a pumpkin (carve/paint)
-drink fancy coffee drinks
-picnic-I haven't been on a picnic in ages, and only once in the fall

So that's the list, with my comments.
Here's my additions:
-watch football, faithfully
-go to football games
-enjoy football weather
-go to a Husker game--> I legitimately tried to do this with my family, but it didn't work out this year
-make fancy coffee drinks
-go to my first college Homecoming-I'm excited about this!
-eat &make; make candy corn/peanut mix-->not sure why I didn't do this
-drink Spiced Cider
-celebrate Harvest--> um I don't know what I was thinking with this, it wasn't really talked about in the church I'm currently attending, maybe that's what I was thinking...


Well I gave it my best attempt (sort of) and that's what happened.  Maybe I'll be more successful next year!
