5. Yell off of the Brooklyn Bridge



If you haven't seen Newsies. Watch it. You will understand why..

The gist of this Bucket List addition is, Jack and Boots are crossing the bridge with Davey to get the infamous Spot Conlon on their side for the 1899 Newsboys strike. And as they are crossing the bridge, they lean over and yell their hearts out!

Newsies fans all over the world have gone to that Bridge, and doggone it SO WILL I

I will lean over that bridge, let my hair whip around in the wind and yell my heart out.

So help me, I will



Stick with me,

4. Go to the Globe Theatre

Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo! Deny thy father and refuse thy name. If thou wilt not be by sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Yes I'm an English Major and yes I'm a huge shakespeare nerd!

I love everything about his plays and sonnets so much so that I decided to be an English teacher. To impart my knowledge and love of all types of literature, especially Shakespeare, to the young minds.

Teaching Shakespeare to highschool kids? Not as pretty as it sounds.

"is he even speaking English?" "what is he saying?" "when was this a million years ago?"

Ahh love it. A Challenge. One which I will rise to every day when I start teaching my classroom.

But back to the Bucket List. I've always wanted not only to go to England but to see the Globe, Williams most famous theatre. To stand where Shakespeare may have stood (albeit there was a fire and it burnt and was rebuilt... The spirit lives on) would be just amazing. And for an English geek like me? Paradise.


I'm also not opposed to finding the Peter Pan status and seeing that.
Another childhood love.

Stick with me,
