Living life to its fullest potential is no easy task. But like any task, if you write down goals it makes anything more achievable. So in order to live your life fully it seems logical to create a bucket list. Here are ten things everyone should have on their list.

1. Do something you are afraid of.

Whether you don't like heights, sharks or rollercoasters, take a chance. Sometimes you don't like something because you have never tried it. Other times it is because of one bad experience, don't let one instance of fear keep you from enjoying life.

2. Do something unusual.

What might seem crazy or disgusting to you is normal for someone else, so get out of your comfort zone and try something new. You never know, you might love eating grasshoppers.

3. Do something daring.

Jump up off a cliff into a lake. Lay down in the middle of the street at midnight. Do something crazy, just be safe. Being brave and adventurous can be rewarding, don't get too caught up in your concerns.

4. Do something for someone else.

I don't just mean any old something, do something extravagant. Show someone how much you care, how much you love them. Go all out for that special someone. I'm talking horse drawn carriages, create something original or paint a billboard for them.

5. Do something wild.

Get hammered and go to a tattoo parlor and have a stranger pick out the design for your ink - no regrats. Go skinny dipping or go streaking. Be that person at least once in your life.

6. Do something you think only happens in books.

Fall in love, no matter the outcome. Go on a picnic under the stars. Solve a mystery. Believe in magic or a hidden world. Whatever type of book you love, take a chance and try it for yourself. Maybe you aren't a reader, give writing a try.

7. Go on a journey.

Travel to a new place. Visit all of the monuments in the 50 states or go on a safari ride in Africa. If it is a road trip across the U.S. with friends or a solo backpacking trip through the Himalayas. Everyone wants to travel on some level, but few act on that desire - don't be that person.

8. Befriend a stranger.

You can always find something in common with someone you don't know. Learning more about someone else is a great way to learn more about yourself. You might meet someone unexpected, would you really want to miss out on an unforgettable interaction?

9. Get involved with something bigger than yourself.

Volunteer for an organization that changes lives. Build a school or a well in a town that needs help. Take part in a protest for something you believe in. Donate to a charity for animals or people. Take action for something you believe in, whatever it is.

10. Find your thing.

Are you all about spots? All about the outdoors? All about art? Try everything until you find the one thing that you love and never let it go. Maybe this goes against making a list, but if you aren't sure try it. You don't loose anything by trying, but you risk everything by not trying at all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
