buckĀ·et list
noun
a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime.
This inspiring idea of a chalkboard open for people to write down things they wish to accomplish before they die originated from artist, Candy Chang. This has been spreading worldwide, and has now premiered here at Cypress College. Whether you are a student or a faculty member, or even just a person who happens to be checking out the campus, you are encouraged to write anything you want to do before you leave the world.
Shamso Ali, a 22-year-old student with an Early Child Education major, says, “It’s a really thoughtful thing to do here on campus. I hope they do this more often!”
Hosted by the International Students, the “Before I Die…” chalk boards will be on display until the last day of semester, May 22, under the piazza next to the Cypress College Complex.
