thehockeykid Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I thought it would be cool to have a premed/med student bucket list. i know i mad a thread earlier this week about keeping my career plans on a DL, but I feel that this forum is pretty anonymous. my bucket list -get into medical or dental school -have a pet dog -have a cool car like a mustang (hardtop) -get a published -still play baseball on a recreation league, while still being a doctor/dentist -become a family doctor -get married and have a wife that will support me in my decisions and will fight my battles with me. -have a son who i can teach him how to play sports, and i can be that dad i always wanted to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdDave Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Dude that is sooooo similar to my goals I already was lucky enough to knock one of those out and I don't really feel the need to get published or play baseball. Other then that it's identical. Always wanted a german shepard and a mustang! Some day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's funny, for being such a goal-oriented person, I can't really think of anything that I feel strongly about having yet to accomplish in this lifetime. There are "nice-to-haves" (eg travel, pets), but I think I could pass on happily any time as long as I am at peace with the kind of human being I am... (Or maybe I just can't think of anything more profound than trying different types of food ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 - get a photo of myself on my university webpage (strange goal... I don't know why) <3 DM My bucket list is way too long to post on here. I have a notebook at home that has about 10 pages of things to do before I die. I've had it since I was 16, and fortunately the list keeps getting smaller and smaller. Some things I think are really silly (I made this up in high school lol) that I'll post below are: - go to tribes in atlantic. find medicines, bring them back - go on the Oprah Winfrey show to talk about the real issues - eat ontop of a mountain - publish an article in national geographic about medicine before I graduate (Nope lol) - have tea at least (yes I underlined it, I was serious) once with Dalai Lama - meet Michael Jackson and learn to properly moonwalk. Seriously, how do I not know this by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
