One more thing, if you decide to take part in any of the activities listed below, you do so entirely at your own risk. Some of the bucket list ideas listed here can be risky (or even illegal depending on where you live), so seek out guidance if you decide to try them, especially if you're a young teenage guy or girl.

With this in mind, enjoy the fun!

What is a Bucket List? A bucket list is a list of things one hopes to do before they die. The idea of a bucket list is quite popular in the modern society. It is often used as a way to document the things you dream to do. The term was coined by American author, businessman, and philanthropist, James Wesley Rawles in his novel "The Bucket List". Today, it is not uncommon for people, like myself, to make their bucket lists public on social media platforms or blogs. This way they can invite others to contribute ideas on what they should do next.

Quick Tip For Creating Your Crazy Bucket List: If you have a hard time coming up with ideas, try brainstorming with other people or looking for inspiration online. Don’t forget that your bucket list can be as long or as short as you want it to be! Share the list with friends and family for inspiration.
