Five Things That Should Be On Your Bucket List

In This Article:

Many people have hopes and dreams to accomplish before their life ends. If you're like me, you have your Bucket List carefully thought out. Bucket List's are important because they push people out of their comfort zone and remind people that life is not meant to always be lived in your comfort zone. Here are five things I believe every American should have on their Bucket List...

Visit every state in The United States

https://www.google.com/search?q=Map+of+USA&sa=X&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=PnLf9bx70_OPDM%253A%252CHpQytnz9f9AuDM%252C_&usg=__HZld6SoLdibl5K0I9N6l41pWnHA%3D&ved=0ahUKEwiDmbHj79HbAhVSw1kKHQcVCIsQ9QEIMTAD#imgdii=ZD7HdGshsxR6fM:&imgrc=9aZ5wniQOYjMfM:

With 50 states making up the US, there is so much more the United States has to offer than what you are always surrounded by. I believe it is imperative for every American to be able to fully experience everything our beautiful country has to offer. From the beaches in California, to the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the Empire state building in New York, or even Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. With 50 very unique states, I do not want to feel like I was deprived of any American experience.

Skydiving

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=dbMhW_-gJI-d5gKsp5WYCA&q=skydiving&oq=skydiving&gs_l=img.3...0.0.1.1265.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c..64.img..0.0.0....0.ddSXVByingY#imgrc=DsWytWVaKQHxKM:

Skydiving is an experience that I want to have before I die. I believe it is important to face your fears and partake in things that get your heart racing. These are the things that help us make extraordinary memories. Even though I have a fear of heights, I still want to go skydiving because I do not want to die knowing I let my fears overtake my life.

Travel to Europe

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=VbQhW4v5AeWc5wL3sLOgBw&q=Europe+real+image&oq=Europe+real+image&gs_l=img.3...4907.8079.0.8674.11.11.0.0.0.0.289.979.8j1j1.10.0....0...1c.1.64.img..1.6.702...0j0i30k1j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.0.Yw4arYnfvpg#imgrc=hltXjHnIlYs8lM:

Although I believe it is important to visit places in the United States, when I traveled to Costa Rica I realized that other countries are full of different cultures and experiences. Europe is a beautiful continent comprised of many very famous countries like Italy, France and England. Being able to visit Europe before your life ends would allow you to live differently for the time you are out of the country. Exposing yourself to new cultures, foods and languages is another way to push yourself out of your comfort zone and really learn about the beauties of living.

Do a color run

https://www.google.com/search?q=color+run&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsnZTF8tHbAhXOs1kKHYmcA2UQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=-7wzeyRKZV-I0M:

S color run is another thing that I want to experience before I die. Color runs are full of energy and excitement. If you are like me, running long distances is not one of my strong suits so since the color run is 3.1 miles (5 kilometers), it is something I can accomplish.

Ride in a hot air balloon

https://www.google.com/search?q=hot+air+balloon&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS757US757&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjS4eSl89HbAhXIjVkKHSVfAIMQ_AUICigB&biw=1353&bih=779#imgrc=vw_v5yqzdUwOFM:

Hot air balloons are always something I have found very fascinating. Being so high up in a semi-open environment would allow you to have a perfect view of your surroundings.

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.
