The Bucket List

When I was 15, I started making a bucket list and now, seven years later, I'm happy I started making it when I was younger. Turns out, things that I wanted to do when I was 15 I am willing to try now; even if I don't like it afterwards at least I will try. So here are 40 things I want to do before I die... and maybe some of them you might consider too...

1. Visit All 50 states.

2. Visit all the continents... or as many as countries as possible.

3. Go paintballing in an abandoned high school or college.

4. Meet one of my favorite actors/actresses from my favorite movie.

5. Go to a winery in northern Italy.

6. Graduate college.

7. Own a German Shepherd... or two... yeah, just two.

8. Watch my future kids grow up and succeed in whatever they want to do.

9. Never stop volunteering.

10. God dog sledding in Alaska.

11. Go scuba diving.

12. Swim with the dolphins.

15. Kiss a sea lion.

16. Swim with sharks.

17. Write a book.

18. Go on a cruise.

19. Go to a drive-in movie.

20. Learn to ballroom dance.

21. Learn to swing dance.

22. See Ellen... live with my two sisters (who are obsessed).

23. Have a professional photo shoot.

24. Spend the day at a resort spa.

25. Sleep in a castle.

26. Send a message in a bottle.

27. Watch my significant other succeed in what he loves to do.

28. Go deep sea fishing.

29. Start a not for profit organization.

30. Learn sign language.

31. Skydive.

32. Go to Nascar/Drive a racecar.

33. Skeet shoot.

34. Fly on a private jet.

35. Drive Route 66 while listening to "Route 66."

36. Ride a bike.

37. Shop at the European Christmas markets.

38. Work in Europe for a summer.

39. Go to a Manchester United game in England.

40. Get married... once and live the best life possible.

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.

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.
