It’s the middle of November, and you all know what that means! That’s right! Only one more month before the world ends. THIS TIME it’s because the Mayan calendar ends, and this somehow predicts the end times. Even though they didn’t account for leap days, and the world should’ve ended in October. But I digress. In honor of only one month of life left before we’re all pushin’ up daisies, let’s hear what you want to do before you kick the bucket! Feel free to include anything you’ve accomplished! Don’t worry if yours is short; I’ve been building my bucket list for years!
