Stop thinking and start doing. Time to start taking chances.

Life is short, and the time we have on this earth is limited. Most bucket lists online aren't very practical so here are seventeen reasonable things to add onto your bucket list.

1. Say yes to everything for a day.

No more saying "another day", "I can't", and "do we have to?". Just for one whole day, stop saying no and start saying yes. See where this new train of thought will lead you.

2. Do "it" in public.

Yes, this may not be morally correct and some people might be taken back by this one. After the hype Fifty Shades of Grey there is no doubt this hasn't crossed your mind at least once.

3. Crash a wedding

You're lying if you claim that you've never wanted to done this before. Grab your friends, get all dressed up and share a toast with a the bride and groom. What's stopping you?

4. Go scuba diving

Everybody wants to explore the deep blue below. Invite some friends and be sure to bring an underwater camera to document your underwater adventure!


5. Go bungee jumping

For all you adrenaline junkies, jumping off a bridge, or cliff attached to nothing but a cord should sound like fun.

6. Go sky diving

Even if you have a fear of heights I say just do it anyway. Get over your fears and jump out of that plane! Wouldn't it be cool to feel like you could fly for just a little while?

7. Stay in a store after hours

This one may be illegal but Y.O.L.O, right? Hide out in a store a couple minutes before closing with a some friends and try not to get caught. ;)

8. Go to a drive in

Yes, they still exist. Although those knew recliner chairs are very comfortable but change is good. Go have your Grease moment.

9. Attend a music festival

Yeah this is basic, but you've always wanted to go to one. What's stopping you? Chill out with your friends at a low key event, or go crazy at a rave. Either way you're sure to have fun.

10. See the northern lights

Also known as Aurora Borealis. The bright colors are more prominent during September - late April. The best view to see these beautiful colors is from Coldfoot, Alaska.

12. Kiss a stranger

Ever see a stranger across the room and just stop to think about how attractive they are? Well, do something about it. We only got one life so just walk up to them and do it.

13. Play in a human hamster ball

They're also called Zorbs, and are typically used in a soccer game but you do not have to play soccer. You can just goof off with your friends.

14. Learn a new language

Yes, learning a language is a great way to learn how to communicate with others but it also unlocks a lot about the culture.

15. Take a spontaneous flight

Show up to an airport without planning a flight ahead and purchase the cheapest ticket you can find.


16. Stay awake for 24 hours

Most college students have probably achieved this but not in a fun way. So, let loose with a couple of friends and try to stay awake all day together. You never know what you might learn about each other.

17. Go streaking

No need to be scared or nervous about being naked in front of others. Let loose and take it off!


18. Pretend to be somebody else for a day

Have your very own Hannah Montana moment. Change your name on your Starbucks order and give that made up persona some crazy background story. Go out and tell people all about the new you.


19. Play a game of monopoly with real money

Yes, this would be a really big risk, but just think about all the money you could possibly win just from playing a board game.

20. No phone for a day

Probably the hardest one to do. We live in a society where technology consumes us, whenever we need to put our phone away we're just counting down until we can use it again. Just for a day, put away your phone and go outside, communicate with people in person

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
