I feel like Logan's Run and life ends at 30, what should be on my bucket list?

Just hurry up and get old, young people generally ask frivolous questions, run around chasing stupid and pointless objectives and are a hell of a lot duller than they realise.

Greater perspective perhaps.

I’m just asking for a pre 30 bucket list (hence the Logan’s run joke) that’s all, no need for the hating. Issues anyone? geez

Well, you could list places that you would like to travel, activities that you have not done or tried yet (perhaps you want to learn to ski?), languages you want to learn, skills that you want to achieve.

It should be personal to you. No one can give you your list.

@Deja_vu these questions always make me think of those stupid army recruitment adverts where you are assaulted with a rapid disorientating succession of glamorized images, depicting adrenaline fueled antics and hot babes. i hate those, not sure i hate you…do i? Ok on a less grumpy note, go travelling, study deeply, fall in love, get active politically. and have as much uncomplicated sex as possible.

Oh God, life ends at 30? Cool, I’m a zombie :)

Seriously, though, here are some things that I’m glad I achieved before turning 30 (and some things I still haven’t done). If you haven’t done them, think about these:

Have a (safe) one-night stand.
Get ridiculously drunk one night at home with only your best friend.
Travel somewhere where you don’t know the language.
Swim in the ocean.
Ask your grandmother or your mother to teach you how to cook that awesome recipe that no one makes better than she does. Cook it together.
Read at least some of the best books from the year of your birth.
Watch all the movies that have ever won an Oscar for Best Picture.

That’s all that’s coming to mind right now; I’ll post more ideas if I think of them.

Your accomplishment should be living a whole year as 29 and your bucket list should be living to 31

these are good at any age, not just turning 30:

plan at least two significant vacations/trips to places you have never been to.

listen to two new bands/singers/musicians every month.

read a book each month from any of the top 100 books of all time (there are many such lists around).

go to all the tourist attractions within 60 miles of where you live so you know all about where you live.

I wouldn’t worry too much about accomplishing your “bucket list” items by the time you reach 30. Sometimes stuff doesn’t happen or isn’t even possible or available to you until your are older. So go ahead and make the list, but just make it a life-time list, not a before 30 list or you might end up feeling crappy. And even if you don’t get to do or experience everything on the life list, at least you are on the journey. Sometimes the journey is more important than the actual accomplishments.

Here’s some things mundane and awesome that are on my list:

Make a pie crust and pie from grandma’s recipe from scratch

Visit as many National Parks in the U.S. as possible

Camp in a tent and camp in an airstream trailer

Ice skate on a frozen lake or pond

Taste a piece of durian

Spend a night in a cabin with a tin roof in the rain

Ride a unicycle and a segue at least once

Take a cross country tour in a big, fancy, motorhome

Take a weeklong (sleeping car) train trip through the mountains

I went skydiving when I turned 30.

I’ll also add that I learned to ski, scuba dive, and take out an appendix all after I was 30.
