NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–You’re graduating. Now what? The
Graduate’s Bucket List, written by entrepreneurial business
professional and Kaplan Test Prep teacher Julia Taylor, presents 33
practical ideas to help you get a head start on making the most out of
this next exciting chapter in your life.
Whatever graduates are planning to do — whether it’s entering college,
attending graduate school, going to work, or some other path — there
are a number of experiences that they should consider tackling as part
of their personal growth and evolution into adulthood. A great gift for
members of the Class of 2019 and beyond, The Graduate’s Bucket List
serves as a practical starting point to help students take steps to
build a life of personal accomplishment, and navigate through life’s
various challenges.
“The exercises in this book are meant to inspire ideas about the
experiences that make life fulfilling. Many of these items are things
you may have thought about but never tried. Each chapter includes the
impact each item can have on your life, practical tips for getting
started, and some things to consider as you incorporate it into your own
bucket list,” says Taylor.
Among the exercises Taylor suggests for recent graduates:
-
Learn to Solve a Rubik’s Cube: This is more than just a
conversation starter or an interesting party trick. In this chapter,
you’ll learn some surprising benefits that come from learning to solve
one of the world’s most famous puzzles. -
Get Published: Seeing your work in print is a powerful feeling.
In this chapter, you’ll learn why writing can add to your sense of
fulfillment and how to get started in today’s digital publishing
environment. -
Complete a One-Year Pyramid Save: Saving money is important,
but it’s not always fun. In this chapter, you’ll learn five simple
ways to break up the monotony of building your savings and challenge
yourself with this long-term goal.
“This list was compiled from my own experiences and those of friends,
family, and mentors. While some of these items may speak to you more
than others, I encourage you to review them all and spend some time
considering how they might impact your life. If you’ve already
accomplished some of these items, use the inspiration in this book to
develop your own ideas,” added Taylor.
The book is priced at $14.99 and available for purchase on Amazon.
An e-version will soon be available for $7.99.
