Tongue Piercings and the Beginning of a Bucket List

      I just paid back my first bout of student loans resulting in almost $1,000 bucks, and let's just say my bank account is crying. The many joys of becoming an adult. Also, I recently took out my tongue piercing. Yes, my tongue piercing. For some weird reason, I have wanted my tongue pierced since I was 19. Last year, I made a spur of the moment decision and decided to get it done. After having the piercing for almost a year and half, I decided to take it out. Another step to becoming an adult, I guess? Pretty much everyone I met never even realized that I had my tongue pierced anyway. And contrary to what my mother said, I did NOT have a lisp, thank you very much.

     
     Anyway, clearly I have no idea how to structure a blog yet since I am bouncing all over the place. Trying to keep up with the travel theme, I wanted to share some things on my bucket list. Keeping in mind, my list is still growing! Some of my goals are simple, some are a bit more ambitious (to say the least), but I am convinced to accomplish all of them!
