20 Things I Want To Do Before I Die
google

1) Go to Ireland

Most of my family is Irish, so it's only natural that this is the first thing on my list.

2) Fall in love and never fall out

I know this might sound dumb, but I've witnessed couples who have been head over heels in the beginning of their relationship, but then after a while, they start hating the little things they used to find cute about one another. Or, they just get bored.

I never want that to happen with me. I want to be able to wake up every day and feel like my relationship is still in the "honeymoon" stage.

3) Live on the beach

The beach is my serenity, so being able to live on or near one would be awesome.

4) Be so in love with my job that it doesn’t feel like work

I've been told often that "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life," or "Die doing what you love," and that's what I want. I refuse to ever hate my job or let it make me bitter.

5) Go skydiving

Adrenaline junky.

6) Go to Devils Pool in Victoria Falls

This pool seems so cool. It's an "edge of the world" type of pool, over a cliff where the current is so strong that it helps you not fall off the cliff.

7) Be the person my brother and sisters think I am

They look up to me, and I never want to disappoint them.

8) Buy a house

I want to buy a house mainly because I want to decorate with my own style: a.k.a A LOT of bean bag chairs and comfy things.

9) Learn sign language

It's different and so beyond cool.

10) Road trip the country with my friends

Because who doesn't want to do this?

11) Get married

And never get divorced. I want to be married to one person forever.

12) Learn how to play an instrument really well

Music is my favorite thing in the world, and I think it would make it more awesome if I could play an instrument.

13) Grow a few inches

Because I'm 5'1 1/4, and it really cramps my style sometimes.

14) Learn to dance... well

Because I do a lot of mom dances, like the side step and the sprinkler.

15) Be healthy

I want to be one of those people who loves to work out and drink protein shakes.

16) Try out for The Voice

I would probably cry and pee my pants, but a girl can dream!

17) Climb a mountain

Just to be able to say, "I climbed a mountain."

18) Swim in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland

I love water, and this seems awesome.

19) Go parasailing

Because I love water, and this seems awesome as well.

20) Go to the Grutas de Tolantongo in Mexico

SO PRETTY!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
