Learning Bucket List Ideas

Here is a detailed list of some of my favorite learning bucket ideas:

Idea 1. Achieve a 4.0 For One Semester - (* Achieving a 4.0 GPA for one semester is a challenging but achievable goal. Remember that a 4.0 GPA is the highest possible GPA, so it will require a lot of hard work and dedication. )

Idea 2. Add Something Useful to Wikipedia - (* Adding to Wikipedia is not that hard, just check if the topic exists, hit "edit" if it does or create a new page if it doesn't, and make sure to follow the policies and guidelines.)

Idea 3. Attend a Presidential Inauguration - (* If you want to go to a presidential inauguration, you gotta get a ticket either through your rep or senator, a state delegation event, or a tour operator, but be ready for lots of people and security.)

Idea 4. Attend a Sydney Opera House - (* To attend a show at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, just buy tickets online or call the box office and consider getting a membership, but make sure to buy tickets ahead of time as they sell out fast.)

Idea 5. Attend a TED Talk - (* To go to a TED Talk, either buy a ticket or apply for a scholarship on the TED website, and keep checking for updates on upcoming events and ticket availability.)

Idea 6. Attend a Writing Class - (* Just do a quick search for writing classes near you or online to find a convenient and flexible option for honing your writing skills.)

Idea 7. Attend California Institute of the Arts - (* To get into CalArts, you gotta apply and show your stuff with good grades, a portfolio, and a killer personal statement since it's a pretty competitive school.)

Idea 8. Attend Howard University - (* Howard U can be a tough school to get into, they look at your grades, test scores and personal statement, but once you're in, you have access to a ton of programs and opportunities as a historically black university located in D.C.)

Idea 9. Attend Stanford Law School - (* As you probably know, Stanford Law is a super-competitive school. To attend Stanford Law School, you will need to meet certain academic and application requirements. All applicants to Stanford Law School must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).)

Idea 10. Be a Foreign Exchange Student - (* Becoming a foreign exchange student is a cool way to experience a new culture, learn a language, and gain life skills, just research and choose the right program for you based on factors like program length, country, and accommodation.)
