To simply enter a model completed by me into a show or competition.
To win a trophy.
To have a job with a cubicle in a building with a security guard.
To go on a hot-air balloon ride at dawn.
To set foot on a continent other than North America and to get there by boat.
To visit each of the 50 states
Travel the length of rt. 66.
Go on safari
See a live platypus in the wild
Milk a cow
Explore the Galapagos
See Cologne Cathedral in Germany

it's a list of things to do before you "kick the bucket" or die.

i have a kind of bucket list, except it's things to do before a certain time, rather than death. Mainly contains silly stuff like donating blood, kissing someone on new years, learning X new vocab', seeing a partic band etcetc. because it motivates me to be a little more alive. The big things are too scary to write down

To know why I was put into this world at this time, what I was (am?) meant to do.
To somehow develop the courage to try to do that.
To feel comfortable somewhere/ To feel I belong somewhere

Hm. Difficult for me. I have an overarching list of things I want to do before I die, but in truth I can live without doing them and die happy.

Things I want to do before I die:

Write a book.

Then I'd have another list with objectives relevant and dependent on where my life is. For example, if I go back to school, to get my PhD.

And Miss/Mister OneStepBeyond:

I'll volunteer my time, energy, efforts, and unique skill set, to assist you with your second and third bucket list goals. Pro bono, possibly, purely for your edification. :D
