Received attention through the movie ‘Bucket List’ and the drama ‘Scent of a Woman’. Bucket List
What is a bucket list?
The origin is an English idiom ‘Kick the Bucket’ which means ‘to die’ and has a very scary meaning. It originated from the idea that when dying by hanging, one climbs on top of a bucket, hangs one’s neck on a rope, and kicks the bucket to death.

A bucket list is a way to write down your life plans.
A bucket list is a list of things you want to do and see in your life.
Looking back on my dreams and writing down what I want to do
Wouldn’t this be one way to further solidify my dream?
Especially the more you express what you want and dream in words.
Please make the article public to people around you.
They say there is a higher chance that that dream will become a reality 🙂
Along with the bucket list that I decided to give my life to, now it's time to write down my Gapyear List!
What is a Gapyear List?
During the creative time and gap year, write down the activities you wanted to do, such as volunteer work, travel, career exploration, internships, and starting a business, to solidify your dreams and direction one by one and make a list to achieve them.
Students on vacation or leave of absence
The more time passes without a plan, the more you conform, worry about the fact that you don’t have a plan, and become exhausted.
I think now is the only time I can do what I want to do.
How about writing down your dreams according to the period?
So how do you create a Gapyear List?
Take as an example a college student who has just decided to take a leave of absence.
A leave of absence is generally requested for one semester or one year.
Ms. Whale applies for a semester off, comes home, sits at her desk, and writes down a list of gap years.
To write down a gap year list, you first need your dreams and direction, right?
However, Miss Whale, who has not yet decided on a dream or a direction or a standard, just thinks about it for 10 minutes.
JUST DO IT
Regardless of the field, I write down whatever comes to mind for about 10 minutes.
Shall we take a look at the story of the her together?
Miss whale! There are more than one or two things I want to do, but I can’t organize them… What should I do?
I’ve already applied for a leave of absence, and I’ve made a list of things I can do first.
Shall we write them down one by one?
For small actions for happiness, try using the Gapyear List 😀
<1>
What makes you happy?
Feel the happiest moment of your life so far.
Find the connections one by one and move toward your dream.
<2>
Volunteering, interning, traveling, starting a business, etc. What do you want to do?
There are many things you can do.
Think about what you want to do first, regardless of whether it is feasible or not!
<3>
Domestic or overseas, where do you want to go?
What is your favorite place? The world is wide.
First of all, think about it regardless of the cost.
Where do I want to go, where do I want to go?
If you have written down the answers to these three questions, then
Would you like to make your gap year list more specific?
There is no set way to create a gap year list.
The most important thing is to do as little as possible.
Willingness to carry out the things I wanted to do on my gap year list.
At this time, with the determination to achieve it and the thought that it can only be done now,
We must achieve this one step at a time.
