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

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
