This year has been pretty bog-standard. Had a mega poo start to the year, wasted my time on the wrong people but also met some of the best people in my life (shoutout to Meg & Labbie). Finished Uni in May and went to Amsterdam with my uni pals and I thought that was going to be the start of the best summer yet, I had Stone Roses coming up on the 15th of June with Dad, my 19th on the 25th and the whole of summer to make the most of.
Roses were incredible, up there as one of the best gigs of my life, despite Public Enemy being dog-arse. But after that, June-August it were pretty awful. I had no job, I'd finished my first year of Uni so all my friends had gone home/away for summer, England got kicked out the Euros by Iceland, I broke my toe on my Birthday, it were Gramps' Birthday the week after & the anniversary of his death and all I did for those 2 months was drink 4 days out of 7 every week for about 6 weeks. I only got to see my friends at home on weekends because they worked full time, Mom and Dad were working/on holiday in Turkey and I ended up spending 6 hours a day playing PokemonGo on my own - I were a dreg I know. Then mid-July I had an interview for a job at my favourite football club for a job in hospitality, applied just to shut Dad up because obviously I was living off nothing and going out 4 times a week and some how I bagged the job. Now I've worked there just under 3/4 months and I've already been promoted so it turns out I have a gift in selling pies - who knew ey.
Then Tember-now I got another job, clearly I'm employable?? And went back to uni which at the minute I cannot wait to see the back of because assignments and deadlines are coming out of my earholes. Stopped going out and drinking as much which you know is always good (for my livers sake anyway) despite it turning me into the biggest lightweight I know - except Labbie and Budge (sorry not sorry).But it's 2 weeks until I finish uni for 2016 and 3 weeks until Christmas, shoot me now I haven't any money of anyone's present bar my Dad's so this will go well. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is, this years turned out pretty alright - you watch me jinx this now and it all goes tits up and I spend Christmas day being sick and crying about how much I hate my life.
Despite me being content with everything I definitely want to try and do more/get more out of life rather than having lazy days and not leaving bed until 3pm or going out all the time then having 3 day hangovers. SO the way I see it is - if I publicly post my bucket-list (like those annoying gits do on NYD) then by this time next year I can look back and see how successful/unsuccessful I've been.
Now I'm not going to be unrealistic and plan to lose 9 stone or something saft but I've always been one of those get up and go kinda people so I suppose I've gotta do what 11 year old MillyB would of and just do it.
1. Get my shoulder tattoo. Now this sounds silly to put on a bucket list because it's so bloody do-able but I just keep putting it off. I don't really understand why I'm being such a tit because I've already got my one on my ribs and I've wanted this one longer. Yet, I still haven't had it done so by this time next year Millyboo you better have those roses on your shoulder.
2. Go back to Poland. I went to Auschwitz and Krakow when I was in Year 10 with school and it was the most harrowing but enlightening trip of my life. It was so fascinating to see the camps, hear the stories and see what those poor people had to endure and live in. The reason as to why I want to go back is because now I'm older I know I'd appreciate it more and I'd pay a lot more attention to the stories we were told etc. I'll give myself a 4 year window to do this one because well I'm a student and I'm poor.
4. Finish University with at least a 2:1. Now this is a biggy because it's not something I can achieve in a day. After Christmas I've really gotta push the boat out at university so that I can at least try my best to get the 2:1 I want by the end of my degree. Don't get me wrong I'd love a First but being a thick girl from Dudley you gotta be realistic, ayit.
5. Go to a music fesitval!!!!! This is a saft one cos it's easy enough to do. I love camping, I love music but every year I promise myself I'll go to a festival - and never bloody go. So Summer 2017 Milly B get yourself a ticket and a tent because you're going to one.
6. Move out. SORRY MOM N DAD, I LOVE YOU N'ALL BUT IN 3 YEARS TIME I GOTTA BE IN MY OWN NEST, I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU BEING IN CHARGE OF THE TELLY.
7. Go Inter-railing. I didn't do 11 years of Scouting and learn how to use a compass and a map to not apply it to something in my life. So by the time in 22 if I haven't gone inter-railing then I'm going for my 22nd bday, you saw it here first okay.
8. Do a sky-dive. Now this is the one I'm gonna regret posting. I bloody hate heights. I get motion sickness and can't even go on a roller-coaster but I am determined to do a sky-dive for charity by my 21st Birthday so I've given myself a year and a half to find some balls. Pops is gonna howl with laughter when he reads this because he's wanted me to do one for years. So here I am, promising you all now - by my 21st Birthday I, Amelia Grace Barnfield, will have done a sky-dive for charity. 9. Run a half-marathon. Run being a very loose term. Nah, those who know me will know I'm as fit as a baby pig. I don't really do much exercise anymore because I'm lazy and drive everywhere (and my gym buddy Mollmoo has gone back to uni so I have no motivation lol). So by this time next year I'm going to of at lest attempted to run half a marathon. I mean I can't guarantee that I'll A. run it or B. finish the half marathon but you know I'll give it a good go - PureGym I'm coming for you.
10. Not have any secrets hidden from my loved ones. So my final one is a kinda cryptic one. All I'll say is that I'm a right stickler for bundling stuff up and keeping all my worries and stuff to myself but I really, really want to change that. I guess I get worried that I'll look weak or foolish or silly etc. so I don't bother telling people stuff. But, but Christmas 2017 I want to be able to look at my loved ones and know that there's nothing I can't tell them.
And that's me done! My 'massive' bucket-list. I'm totally gonna regret staying up writing this when I've gotta be up at 6am but here we are MillyB you never learn. Let me know what's on your bucket-list & how realistic you think mine is!
That's me done for today and probably done until after the 12th of December as I've got so many assignments to do and submit as well as working and socialising so until then,
Barry x.
