What is a Bucket List?
A bucket list is a list of things that one wants to do before they die. It is a personal wishlist of sorts. The term "bucket list" is believed to have been coined by the 2007 movie "The Bucket List" starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, who played characters who were terminally ill and decided to complete all the things they wanted to do before they died.
