30 Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While Skydiving
Abby Seker

So, you have gone completely insane and decided that you are going to jump out of a plane 10,000 feet in the air. Here are some of the thoughts that might run in your head throughout the experience.

You walk into the facility..

  1. What the hell am I doing here?
  2. How did I get here? Oh yeah, my friend asked me if I wanted to go and I said yes.
  3. Do they show this instructional video to scare people out of doing this?
  4. This old guy with the long beard is really starting to freak me out.
  5. There are a lot of things to initial on this paperwork…
  6. I am currently signing my life away. Ok bye life.
  7. Hey look they have free water - it’s the least they can do since I’m paying so much for this picture and video package
  8. Photo ID.. do they think I’m trying to lie about my age or identity so I can skydive??
  9. Who in their right mind would try to lie about that? Then again who in their right mind would jump out of a plane…
  10. That airplane looks extremely small
  11. How safe is this?
  12. LOL the instructor doesn’t want to go with me because I’m wearing braids
  13. They are going to whip the hell out of him hahaha
  14. I’m sitting on the floor of a tiny airplane.. woah
  15. Not sure if I can do this
  16. Oh we’re actually going 10,000 feet up in the air now.. ok
  17. This plane seems a little.. okay very unsteady
  18. Wait, we’re only half way up right now?
  19. That's a long way down.. What if my parachute doesn't open?
  20. Stop asking me if I’m nervous, you’re making me more nervous
  21. For real shut up I'm trying to keep myself calm
  22. Seriously what the hell am I doing right now
  23. Do I have to jump or can I come back down with the pilot?
  24. Welp, no going back now
  25. Holy crap I’m about to jump out of this thing?
  26. HOLY SHIT
  27. MY MIND IS COMPLETELY CLEAR AND I CAN’T STOP SMILING
  28. The world is absolutely beautiful
  29. Can we go again? Like right now?
  30. Man, no words can explain this feeling.

You just jumped 10,000 feet out of a flying airplane. There are literally no words to explain the feeling, you really just have to take a leap of faith and experience it yourself. It is so worth it.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
