Extreme Bucket List

Make your ridiculous dreams come true.

Extreme Bucket List

Everyone dreams of doing something absolutely ridiculous and crazy before they die. A bucket list, to say the least. But many people never fully come to the sense of actually following through and completing that task. Those absolute, absurd thoughts that come into your head. You're thinking, "This is completely ridiculous, but how awesome would it be to do?"

Is it safe to say you have fully lived your life to the fullest until at least one of these have been completed?

1. Backpacking across Europe, picking up small jobs along the way.

Because how else are you supposed to pay for the rest of the expenses?

2. Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

This one actually seems pretty safe.

3. Parasailing in the Caribbean.

4. Riding an elephant in India.

Let’s hope they like humans.

5. A helicopter ride in Hawaii.

Fly over the volcanoes of Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

6. Winning a million dollars in Vegas.

7. Skydiving in Switzerland above the Swiss Alps.

8. Riding a hot air balloon in Florence, Italy.

Whatta view.

9. A road trip across the country, visiting each state.

Might as well take a year off work for this one!

10. A cage dive with a great white shark.

Let's pray you don’t get eaten.

11. Adding a lock to the Lover's Bridge in France.

That is, if you can find a lover to begin with.

12. Cliff jumping off the island of Inis Mor, Ireland.

Who says 85 feet up in the air isn't thrilling to freely jump from?

13. Riding the world’s steepest roller coaster in Japan.

Welp, there goes my stomach coming out of my throat.

14. Volcano boarding.

Because what doesn’t seem safe about sledding down a live volcano? Maybe you should save this one for last.

15. Waterfall kayaking.

There aren't even words for this. Let's just go kayak off the edge of a waterfall.

Now, instead of thinking about all of the possibilities of what you can do before you die, actually go out and do it! You certainly aren’t getting any younger, that's for sure, so you might as well do 'em while you can.

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.

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.
