There's nothing better than trying new things! Like that crazy dish of octopus or maybe dyeing your hair the color of the rainbow! But what's even better is trying something that takes the breath out of you, makes you yell at the top of your lungs, and break into hysterical laughter. I'm a lover of new things, but I really love the scary and adventurous. I'm an adrenaline junkie, and am in search of a new thing to try! Here are 10 things all adrenaline junkies (and almost junkies) should add to their bucket list!

1. Glass Slide -- Los Angeles, Calif.

Located on the 70th floor of the U.S. Bank Tower, this solid glass slide allows visitors to slide on the outside of the building from the 70th floor to the 69th floor, all while being suspended 1,000 feet above the pavement below. Talk about a thrill!

2. Nevis Swing -- Queenstown, New Zealand.

The world's biggest swing! This is sure to fit any adrenaline junkie's fancy as you propel approximately 550 feet above the canyon floor in a 360-degree arc! This swing allows you to go forward and backward, thus giving anyone the experience of a lifetime. The Nevis Swing is sure to make you scream with fear, laugh hysterically, and be kissing the ground upon your return.

3. Devil's Pool - Victoria Falls, Zambia.

Known as the "ultimate infinity pool", Devil's Pool exists simply because of erosion from the Zambezi river. It is a rock pool that has formed at the very edge of a significant drop. For those who wish to take a swim at the edge of a cliff, visit Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls in Zambia!

4. Verrückt -- Kansas City, Kan.

The world's tallest water slide, it drops you 168 feet! All about height and water, this ride is the perfect one for an adrenaline junkie. It is located in the Schillterbahn water park in Kansas City, Kan.

5. Sky Dinner -- Anywhere.

It is a Belgian-based company that brings the "Dinner in the Sky" experience to extraordinary heights and countries across the world. Guests will have fine dining and the ultimate experience that not everyone has had. To enjoy this fantastic experience, you must be able to stomach heights, and your dinner.

6. Walk on Water -- Florida Keys, Fla.

Ever dreamed of something as magical as walking on water? Well now, adrenaline junkies and people everywhere can make it a reality, with jet packs. You'll feel like you're flying through the air and trust me, you'll never want to come back down.

7. Skydiving -- Anywhere.

Skydiving is the epitome of being an adrenaline junkie!

8. Capilano Suspension Bridge -- Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge was originally built in 1889 and stretches over 450 feet across and 230 feet above the Capilano River. Thus, walking across this bridge will give visitors a gorgeous view of the park around them as well as the river below. Not many can say that they made it across; can you?

9. Skywalk -- Grand Canyon, Ariz.

The Grand Canyon is beautiful from the ground, but what about when you're 4,000 feet above the riverbed on a glass sidewalk? That's right, it's even more breathtaking. The Grand Canyon Skywalk allows adrenaline junkies alike to get gorgeous views of their surroundings while also feeding their desire to live dangerously. Thus, this should definitely be on every adrenaline junkies bucket list!

10. Storm Chasing -- Tornado Alley, USA.

Now this is especially for those adrenaline junkies in the Plains, or better yet, Tornado Alley. I love thunderstorms and tornado season, so storm chasing is on my personal bucket list! This is extremely dangerous, so even the most-experienced adrenaline junkies should be cautious and aware when out storm chasing.

For more information on storm chasing and how to become a storm chaser, talk with your local news stations as well as the National Weather Service.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
