We all have this bucket list inside our head. Varying from traveling, to skydiving, to buying a house, we all have some goals before we die. While some of your bucket list items may not be possible right now, I urge all of you to find something and commit to doing it.

Recently I got my first two tattoos. This had been something I wanted to do on my 18th birthday, but it happened a few months after. I was getting frustrated that I wasn't just going to go get it. I was almost disappointed. I was procrastinating and just not doing it for no true reason.

I was going to go with my friend, and we picked a day. Setting a date is so helpful because you will hold yourself accountable. After some driving we were at the tattoo shop. Was I a little nervous? I'd be lying if I said no, but I was also extremely excited. The experience was pretty sketchy the whole way through but at that point I really wasn't about to turn back and delay even more.

After a little over an hour it was done. I had finally gotten the tattoos I had wanted since forever. While they are still healing, and I can't quite see what they will end up looking like, I am just quite proud of the fact that I did it. I could have easily just gone off to college and never gotten them.

My point in writing this article isn't to tell you to go do things you will regret. I'm writing this to tell you to be empowered to do those things you have always wanted to. Don't let the voice in your head talk you out of it. I guarantee in the end you will be happy you did, and it will all be worth it.

I got my first two tattoos, what will you do?
