Bucket List Number 229 Take a journalism class

Posted on May 4, 2020May 4, 2020 by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! As you can tell from the title I crossed another item off my bucket list ! As always I’m very excited to tell you about my latest bucket list adventure so here we go !

Bucket List Number 229 Take a journalism class

This blog helped me to discover my love for writing and I began to take an interest in journalism. Not that long ago I was watching a You Tube video where Skill Share was mentioned. I deiced to see if there were any journalism classes offered on the site and sure enough there were! I was excited to see that I got two months free when I signed up. I started with a class called Journalism 101 . The class contained a lot of important information on how to construct a story and what kinds of things to avoid when writing a story. The instructor was very well spoken and the class was easy to follow . I took notes during this course and it really helped to keep me engaged. After I finished that class, I deiced to take another journalism class. The next class I chose was called Meet the Press. I haven’t finished this class yet but I like it already. I got a new notebook from the Dollar Tree just for Skill Share class notes. I want to take at least three journalism classes as well as classes on other topics. I really have been enjoying the journalism classes so far. I find the topic to be fascinating I’ll keep you updated as I make my way through the classes.

Bucket list and books

Posted on March 24, 2020March 24, 2020 by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! I’m excited to tell you about the latest item I’m crossing off my list . I’m actually crossing it off right now with this post. The item I’m crossing off is #214 Join a book club or start my own. That’s right I’m starting my own book club right here on this blog ! Before I tell you about the book club I’m starting, let me tell you why I decided to start it. I knew I wanted to cross this item off my list so I went looking for an online book club because my work schedule is always changing and it’s hard for me to commit to regular in person meetings. After doing some searching , I came across a Facebook group where a book was chosen each month through a vote. I participated in the the vote and I ordered the book that was chosen. I was excited to be apart of a book club. I got about a hundred or so pages into the book when I decided to stop reading that book and start my own book club. From what I have seen the books that are often times ( not always) Chosen for book clubs including the one I was reading are focused on heavy subject matter. The book I was reading was very well written and the descriptions of the characters were amazingly detailed. I have discovered that I tend to enjoy books with more light hearted subject matter. I’m excited to announce the start of the Light Heart book club ! I have so many books in my room that I have been meaning to read. The book that I have chosen for April is an American Girl book . The book is called Lanie and the author is Jane Kurtz. This book focus on a young girl with a love for the outdoors! When I have finished the book I will post my review. As well as some activities inspired by the book. Feel free to join me in reading this light hearted book !

bucket list #227 Get a reversible sequin shirt

Posted on February 28, 2020February 28, 2020 by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! As you can tell by the the title of this post I crossed off my first bucket list item of 2020 ! It was pretty easy to cross off but I’m still very excited to tell you all about it. Here we go !

bucket list #227 Get a reversible sequin shirt

I love the reversible sequin trend ! I have seen this trend on pillows ,back packs and clothes . I really wanted to join in but most of the clothes that followed this trend were made for kids. I put it on my bucket list because I figured there just had to be a reversible sequin shirt in adult sizes somewhere. I turned to Amazon I figured it would be the best place to find what I was looking for. I found a few different styles to chose from. I ended up going with a pink shirt that had two cats on it. The cats are covered in sequins. ans they change colors when you move the sequins . I really like this shirt and I’m happy that I got it! Rock on – Christina Epperly

Bucket list #164 Take a Disneyland tour

Posted on December 13, 2019December 13, 2019 by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends while I was in Disneyland I crossed another item off my list . I talked a little bit about it in my previous post about my vacation (you can read that HERE) but I wanted to do a more in-depth post about this bucket list item so let’s get to it!

Bucket list #164 Take a Disneyland tour

Disneyland tours are popular so it’s best to book as soon as possible. If I’m remembering correctly you can book thirty days before the date of your tour. I called to book my tour about a month in advance and I was super excited that I was able to get three spots for the day I wanted. Our tour started around 3:30 PM but we were told to get there an half an hour early to check in. Once we checked in we were given very cute pins with our names on them and listening devices so we could hear the tour guide clearly. After that we met our tour guide and the tour began. We started our tour in Disneyland but we parked hopped over to Disney California Adventure during the tour. While we were in California Adventure we all got fudge at trolley treats. Through out the tour we were entertained with various facts and stories about holiday time at the Disneyland resort. We were also able to listen to music and audio clips through our audio devices. Sometimes the audio devices were a little hard to hear but overall I enjoyed using them during the tour. As part of our tour we got to go on the Small World holiday ride. We had been on it earlier in the day but I was so happy that we got to go again. After our ride we went over to our seats for the Christmas parade that had been reserved for our tour group. Disney puts on some really awesome parades and this one was no exception! The parade was a lot of fun to watch ! I loved the dancing snowmen they were so cute ! While we were sitting for the parade we were given hot chocolate in Disney souvenir mugs ,gingerbread cookies and another pin. The tour guide did a good job of keeping the group together as we walked though the crowds. I enjoyed this tour and I would like to take another one again sometime. Rock On – Christina Epperly
