33 Things I Hope To Do
A Book by Alex Strohl
"Life is about courage and going into the unknown."

We all have a bucket list; we all have things we want to do, places we want to see and people we want to meet. I have a list of things that may seem odd, but something I just want to experience, something I want to do to feel alive, happy and fulfilled. People strive to do as much as they can in their lifetime and make sure they do it to fully enjoy and ultimately, whether you have a bucket list or not, we all have these things we want to do.

Here are 33 things I wish to do in my lifetime.

1. Visit Yosemite National Park

2. Go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans AT LEAST once.

3. See the Northern Lights.

4. Visit Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

5. Have a genuine conversation with a celebrity – not to ask for a selfie, not to bombard them. Meet them and talk... Maybe impossible, but hey, definitely worth a spot on the list.

6. Have front row tickets to my favorite artist.

7. Travel through Europe. Hit England, Paris, Italy – all the major stops.

8. Attend a World Cup soccer match to fuel my soccer-loving heart.

9. Drive a luxury sports car. One that is worth more than I can fathom owning.

10. Dance in Rio, in the street, with someone, whatever the occasion. Just to dance my heart out, loud music playing, people laughing and talking, just enjoying life (while dancing).

11. Visit all the places Ben Stiller visited in the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

12. Fly in a private jet and drink a glass of champagne: you know, the usual.

13. Run a 10K and not pass out.

14. Publish a book.

15. Hail a taxi in Times Square, and have a nice chat with the driver.

16. Swim and visit a waterfall in Thailand.

17. Visit Greece and stay longer than a week (my homeland).

18. Go to the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, and kiss a stranger at midnight.

19. Have an apartment with a view.

20. Volunteer in a foreign country.

21. Visit New Zealand and take pictures, upon pictures.

22. Climb a mountain.

23. Leave a waitress/waiter a huge tip.

24. Attend elite cooking classes.

25. Fill up a whole journal with entries, poems, quotes, etc.

26. Get a tattoo of a favorite quote.

27. Visit Alaska.

28. Buy a piece of art from a gallery.

29. Have a piece of art in a gallery.

30. Surf in Hawaii, lay on the beach, watch the sunrise. In that exact order.

31. Experience some of these things with someone I love.

32, Mentor someone.

33. Change someone’s life.


Go out there and make your own list! Cross things off, one by one, year by year. Live and live fully.

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.
