31 Bucket List Cross Offs After Your WebMD Diagnosis
Free Spirit

The day started off as a normal day and everything was going perfectly fine until you got a headache. You've taken a few aspirins but nothing is working...so you do the inevitable and look up your symptoms. If you're anything like me, you already believe that this is the end of the world. Now you have an even bigger problem on your hands. Your simple (most likely tension) headache, is now a brain tumor because WebMD says so. Well, if you're in that boat, I've come up with a month's worth of bucket list items that you need to check off ASAP because you don't have much longer!


  1. Work your 9 a.m.-5 p.m. shift while singing 9 to 5 all day long.
  2. Quit your job: You don't need it anymore. I mean, you don't even like going there every single day. There's only room for happiness and relaxation from this point on. Let's get to it.
  3. Go to a trampoline park: An entire building full of bouncy kid-like fun? Yes please.
  4. Jump on a water trampoline: Because why not add water to the fun?
  5. Play a game of paint Twister: Ten times messier. Ten times more fun.
  6. Stargaze in the back of a pickup truck: Especially, if you live in the city and never see the stars because of smog/lights. Drive out into the most rural part of town that you can find and do this. You won't regret it.
  7. Dye your hair a crazy color: If you can't decide on a color, just tell the hairdresser to "surprise you". That always works for the best. #AmIRight ?
  8. Try every Ben & Jerry’s flavor.
  9. Pretend to be famous for a day: No flash photography please.
  10. Go swimming in the rain and/or go skinny dipping: There's really no underlying motive behind this one beside the sense of freedom and fun you'll have.
  11. Horseback ride in the ocean: Apparently this is a thing and it needs to happen right now. Actually just stop reading this list and go find a location that hosts this. You get the experience the beach without putting in all the work of swimming/walking.
  12. Visit Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: Breath-taking. It's one of the World's largest salt flats.
  13. Go to a music festival: Coachella, Bonaroo, ULTRA, Lollapalooza, SXSW. Pick one that fits your style. (Although I'm sure you'd have a blast at just about any one of them you went to).
  14. Go to a Masquerade:
  15. Ride a gondola: If the gondolier doesn't sing to you, find another one and try again.
  16. Go Fly-boarding: This shouldn't even take much convincing. Look at how awesome this looks!
  17. Rent a beach house:
  18. Paddle board in the Grand Canyon:
  19. Throw a party on a yacht: This is your little taste of living like Beyonce.
  20. Experience zero gravity: Just call me Buzz. (Aldrin not Lightyear).
  21. Take a trip to New Orleans: This place is oozing with culture. It's a MUST.
  22. Walk on hot coals: This is risky and you totally have to commit if you plan on this one being successful.
  23. Ride a camel in the desert: When in Rome. (Or Africa).
  24. Mattress surf: You've been wanting to do this since you saw The Princess Diaries 2.
  25. Plant a tree: You can't forget to give back!
  26. Go to a drive-in movie:
  27. Visit the Great Wall of China:
  28. Attend a Hawaiian luau:
  29. Visit the South (Southern United States) and binge eat all the BBQ you can find:
  30. Go to the doctor for a professional diagnosis: This probably should've been done way earlier in the month, however, you wouldn't have really had the chance to ditch your old life and live like you wanted to.
  31. Beg for your job back: After you figure out you’re not actually about to die & attempt to piece back together your entire life (as you knew it before you decided to go off the deep end). Also, you'll need to seek financial advising immediately because unless you're made of money, there's absolutely no way you're going to easily bounce back from the debt you've accrued.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
