31 Bucket List Cross Offs After Your WebMD Diagnosis
Free Spirit

The day started off as a normal day and everything was going perfectly fine until you got a headache. You've taken a few aspirins but nothing is working...so you do the inevitable and look up your symptoms. If you're anything like me, you already believe that this is the end of the world. Now you have an even bigger problem on your hands. Your simple (most likely tension) headache, is now a brain tumor because WebMD says so. Well, if you're in that boat, I've come up with a month's worth of bucket list items that you need to check off ASAP because you don't have much longer!


  1. Work your 9 a.m.-5 p.m. shift while singing 9 to 5 all day long.
  2. Quit your job: You don't need it anymore. I mean, you don't even like going there every single day. There's only room for happiness and relaxation from this point on. Let's get to it.
  3. Go to a trampoline park: An entire building full of bouncy kid-like fun? Yes please.
  4. Jump on a water trampoline: Because why not add water to the fun?
  5. Play a game of paint Twister: Ten times messier. Ten times more fun.
  6. Stargaze in the back of a pickup truck: Especially, if you live in the city and never see the stars because of smog/lights. Drive out into the most rural part of town that you can find and do this. You won't regret it.
  7. Dye your hair a crazy color: If you can't decide on a color, just tell the hairdresser to "surprise you". That always works for the best. #AmIRight ?
  8. Try every Ben & Jerry’s flavor.
  9. Pretend to be famous for a day: No flash photography please.
  10. Go swimming in the rain and/or go skinny dipping: There's really no underlying motive behind this one beside the sense of freedom and fun you'll have.
  11. Horseback ride in the ocean: Apparently this is a thing and it needs to happen right now. Actually just stop reading this list and go find a location that hosts this. You get the experience the beach without putting in all the work of swimming/walking.
  12. Visit Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: Breath-taking. It's one of the World's largest salt flats.
  13. Go to a music festival: Coachella, Bonaroo, ULTRA, Lollapalooza, SXSW. Pick one that fits your style. (Although I'm sure you'd have a blast at just about any one of them you went to).
  14. Go to a Masquerade:
  15. Ride a gondola: If the gondolier doesn't sing to you, find another one and try again.
  16. Go Fly-boarding: This shouldn't even take much convincing. Look at how awesome this looks!
  17. Rent a beach house:
  18. Paddle board in the Grand Canyon:
  19. Throw a party on a yacht: This is your little taste of living like Beyonce.
  20. Experience zero gravity: Just call me Buzz. (Aldrin not Lightyear).
  21. Take a trip to New Orleans: This place is oozing with culture. It's a MUST.
  22. Walk on hot coals: This is risky and you totally have to commit if you plan on this one being successful.
  23. Ride a camel in the desert: When in Rome. (Or Africa).
  24. Mattress surf: You've been wanting to do this since you saw The Princess Diaries 2.
  25. Plant a tree: You can't forget to give back!
  26. Go to a drive-in movie:
  27. Visit the Great Wall of China:
  28. Attend a Hawaiian luau:
  29. Visit the South (Southern United States) and binge eat all the BBQ you can find:
  30. Go to the doctor for a professional diagnosis: This probably should've been done way earlier in the month, however, you wouldn't have really had the chance to ditch your old life and live like you wanted to.
  31. Beg for your job back: After you figure out you’re not actually about to die & attempt to piece back together your entire life (as you knew it before you decided to go off the deep end). Also, you'll need to seek financial advising immediately because unless you're made of money, there's absolutely no way you're going to easily bounce back from the debt you've accrued.

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.

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.

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.
