10 Bucket List Must Haves

Most people have a list of things that they would like to accomplish and/or experience in their life. It may be something as small as eating an entire chocolate cake in one sitting or something a little crazier like scaling Mount Everest. Here are a few of my own that I think everyone should add to their own bucket list.


1. Visiting a European Country.

I have dreamed of visiting Ireland since I was little and so that's definitely at the top of my list!

2. Skydiving/Rock climbing/Cliff diving/Parasailing/Insert dangerous activity

Because YOLO and then you die because your parachute doesn't open but great adrenaline rush.

3. Seeing the Northern Lights

Whether that be in Iceland, Alaska, Denmark, Scotland or Canada, I can only imagine how breathtaking of a sight that would be.

4. Riding an elephant/ostrich/camel/insert unusual ridden animal

I love riding horses so who's to say an elephant couldn't be just as fun despite being a couple thousand pounds heavier?

5. Swimming with dolphins/beluga whales/turtles/insert cool sea creature

Why not have an awesomely terrifying underwater experience?

6. Learning how to play /piano/violin/saxophone/cello/insert nice sounding instrument

Ever listen to classical music and wish that you could produce something that could move someone to tears so easily? They give lessons for that!

7. Getting married and having babies


Marriage isn't for everyone, but I personally don't want to be #foreveralone so it's on the list.

8. Learning a foreign language

I know un poco Espanol but I would like to eventually become fluent in another language because then you can really confuse people and convince them you're speaking in tongues.

9. Kissing in the rain

Because lets be honest, who doesn't want to do that? If you've seen The Notebook then it's already on your list.

10. Making a world record

I'm currently in the running for the most chocolate chip cookies consumed in a lifetime, but that may not be your thing. Maybe it's running the fastest mile or being the greatest couch potato known to man. You do you.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
