25 things that should Be on Everyone's Bucketlist

https://www.pexels.com/photo/sunset-sunshine-travel-wings-103127/

"Live life to the fullest because you only live once." "Life is too short to second guess things." Both of the phrases are extremely cheesy, but they're also true. Not to be morbid, but your life could end tomorrow or in a week or maybe in a few years. It's important to live life while you can. The last thing you want to do is have regrets. Below is a list of 25 things that every single person should do before they die.

Call a friend that you had a falling out with and try to repair your relationship. It's never too late.

Face your biggest fear.

You never know, you might end up finding something new that you like.

Kiss someone in the rain.

You might catch a cold and no one likes sitting in wet clothes, but it's romantic. Maybe. At least in movies it is.

Order something new from your favorite restaurant.

Many times people get in the habit of ordering the same things off the menu. It's always the safe choices. Order something new! It might end up becoming your new "usual."

Play your favorite album on full blast. And then play it again.

Learn to juggle. Or Knit. Or solve a Rubik's cube.

I've heard those things can be pretty relaxing.

Stop procrastinating, even it's only for one day.

Wear that outfit that you've always been too scared to wear and strut around in it like you're on a runway.

Dye your hair that crazy color you've always wanted.

Yes, it still counts if it's colored hairspray or temporary dye!

If you're not a morning person, force yourself to get up one morning and watch the sunrise.

It's breathtaking and makes you really appreciate how beautiful Earth can be. And just because I know you're wondering, yes you can go back to bed afterwards.

Forgive someone you're holding a grudge against.

Volunteer somewhere.

It can be an animal shelter, a hospital, a community service project...just something to give back to your community. It'll feel good.

Go to a concert and don't take a single picture or video.

Go an entire day without your phone.

Deactivate all of your social media.

This doesn't have to be permanent. Even doing it for a week or a few days makes a world of difference.

Eat that extra slice of pie.

Buy those concert tickets or book that vacation.

Learn a new language.

Or at least a couple of phrases.

Tell someone that you love them, even if it might be unrequited.

Get a tattoo.

It doesn't have to be some life altering thing, even a tiny one is good.

Take a photo for every day of the year.

Go skinny dipping.

Spoil yourself whenever possible.

Treat yo' self. Seriously, it'll feel good.

Adopt a dog or a cat...or any loving animal that you want.

Adopt don't shop, right?

Crash a wedding.

That one might be a little extreme...but again, you only live once!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out
