I've been thinking of all of the stuff that I wanna achieve during my gap year and I've decided that I'm gonna make a gap year 'bucket list'. This isn't my first '50 Things' project. When I started my YouTube channel my first 'video' was a '50 Fact About Me' video:

48. Create an Instragram scrapbook
49. Complete my 365 project
50. Commit to this blog
It was so hard to create this list because I had no real idea of what I actually wanted to achieve this year. Now I have some sort of basic list of stuff though I'm really happy with some of the stuff that's on there. Some of them are obvious fillers but creating a bucket list of 50 things to do in the next year is hard! The last two (49 and 50) will only be able to be ticked off the list once my gap year is finished so if I keep up the blog and the 365 project that's when I'll be able to tick them off.
Obviously I want to achieve all of the things on this list but some of the things might not happen so as a target I'm gonna set myself a goal of completing 30 of these things before the end of the year. If I complete that challenge I will be happy with myself. If I complete the whole list I will be very, very surprised!
If you're doing anything similar to this or have any sort of bucket list, let me know in the comments what kind of things you're doing/achieving and what is the thing that you most want to achieve off your bucket list! Also let me know if you've done any of the stuff on my bucket list!
I also did some drama stuff at my old school with some of the students who are doing Performance enrichment after school. They're doing a Pantomime for their first show which should be cool so I'm excited to start working on that. This is going to be really good experience for me in the way of teaching because I've not done much of that before. Ideally I'd like to be doing musical theatre work to gain some experience which this isn't but it's still a good thing to do to keep myself in the performing mind frame. I loved the way that even though it was an after school thing the students didn't have to be there and some of them were quite inhibited at first but then by the end some of them wanted to stay and do more which really says something about the quality of the drama staff at Kingswood. Overall it's been quite a good day, and here is my 365 day 3:
It's my old school, except it's been rebuilt. I didn't go to this version of it. It's so weird how different it is now. I really wish my old school was still there!
Thanks for reading!
Peace and love :)
Jack
