8 Things You Didn't Know You Needed On Your Bucket List

Take every risk and drop every fear

8 Things You Didn't Know You Needed On Your Bucket List

Almost everyone has a bucket list. Items on a bucket list can be simple things, like making cookies from scratch, all the way to skydiving. I am a firm believer in my own bucket list, so I decided to share eight experiences that should definitely be on your bucket list as well.

1. The RickShaw Run

There is a start line and a finish line, whatever happens in between is up to you. Traveling across the length of India in a tuk tuk is definitely a unique way of experiencing India.

2. La Tomatina

If you have ever had the burning desire to start a food fight, La Tomatina is the event for you. Held every year in Bunol Valencia, Spain, an all-out tomato brawl takes place that you do not want to miss.

3. Attend a World Cup America

Whether you are a soccer fan or not, the energy at a World Cup game cannot be matched to anything else.

4. Float in the Dead Sea

Have you ever wanted to read a book while floating on top of the water? Well you can here. Just lean back and trust the sea.

5. Attend a traditional Japanese tea ceremony

The ceremony is more than just drinking tea. It is an art and spiritual discipline that is a must-experience.

6. Visit the Last Bookstore in L.A.

Even if you are not in love with books, this store may make you fall in love with its magic.

7. Celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Celebrate this historic event in the very place it originated.

8. Attend the Holi Festival of Colors

The festival originated in India. Holi announces the arrival of spring and is commonly celebrated in the U.S. now. People throw dry colored powder in celebration, so pick your favorite color and join the rainbow.

These events are ones to consider putting on your bucket list. Trying to experience as much as possible is worth so much. In the words of Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."

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.
