Bucket List

• Get a hair transplant(done)

• Trip on drugs(done)

  This was originally titled “Trip Hard on Mushrooms,” but I ended up getting severely messed up after eating a brownie that had some kind of weed in it. It really messed me up. Time seemed to slow down so much that every minute felt like an hour. I had intense paranoia, and at one point, I even thought I might have murdered my girlfriend. I also experienced about five or six panic attacks throughout the evening, and I was completely out of it. Mostly, I convinced myself that time was moving so slowly that I could theoretically be in this “state” for hundreds of years.

  After this experience, I’ve sworn never to do any drugs like this again—including mushrooms. So, I’ve updated this bullet point to reflect what I went through during this “trip” (although I’m not even sure you can “trip” on weed), and I’m officially calling it quits.

  On the 2nd of June 2023, I climbed Snowden! It as the hottest day of the year and honestly incredibly difficult considering the weather and my lack of fitness.

  
• Go on an impromptu road trip(done)

  I wanted to just wake up and just randomly head out on a trip to somewhere i know nothing about. The first time i did this was a trip to Bakewell back in 2024, but at the time i didn't think this was spontanious enough. In February 2025, me and my girlfriend did the same with a random get in the car and go stayover in Shewsbury.

  It's with this that i've was, again, going to not consider that impromtu enought but i think i was being to harsh on myself. I still want to do this going abroad (random flight) but for now i feel this has been completed.

  Generally speaking, I didn't really enjoy American Football as a game. I'm not the biggest fan of team games in general, but I did appreciate the clear strategy of the game that isn't immediately apparent to those new to the sport.

  I didn't get the opportunity to watch the famous Super Bowl Ads (because I watched it on the BBC) but the halftime show was pretty cool.

  Achieved on the 28/01/2024

  I finally got the chance to head of the Ireland with my girlfriend. I was very picky with where I decided to try my first Guiness and choose based on what I though was an authetnically Irish Pub. I ended up drinking it at The Dame Tavern.

  So how was my first Guiness in Ireland? For me, it was hyped up quite a lot my friends who always insisted it was better in it's home country. While there were many differences - manly how creamy it was - taste wise it was hard to distinish between UK and Irish Guiness. Overall I did prefer it though and had my fair share over there. The Guiness Storehouse was also amazing.
