Many people have hopes and dreams to accomplish before their life ends. If you're like me, you have your Bucket List carefully thought out. Bucket List's are important because they push people out of their comfort zone and remind people that life is not meant to always be lived in your comfort zone. Here are five things I believe every American should have on their Bucket List...
Visit every state in The United States

With 50 states making up the US, there is so much more the United States has to offer than what you are always surrounded by. I believe it is imperative for every American to be able to fully experience everything our beautiful country has to offer. From the beaches in California, to the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the Empire state building in New York, or even Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. With 50 very unique states, I do not want to feel like I was deprived of any American experience.
Skydiving

Skydiving is an experience that I want to have before I die. I believe it is important to face your fears and partake in things that get your heart racing. These are the things that help us make extraordinary memories. Even though I have a fear of heights, I still want to go skydiving because I do not want to die knowing I let my fears overtake my life.
Travel to Europe

Although I believe it is important to visit places in the United States, when I traveled to Costa Rica I realized that other countries are full of different cultures and experiences. Europe is a beautiful continent comprised of many very famous countries like Italy, France and England. Being able to visit Europe before your life ends would allow you to live differently for the time you are out of the country. Exposing yourself to new cultures, foods and languages is another way to push yourself out of your comfort zone and really learn about the beauties of living.
Do a color run

S color run is another thing that I want to experience before I die. Color runs are full of energy and excitement. If you are like me, running long distances is not one of my strong suits so since the color run is 3.1 miles (5 kilometers), it is something I can accomplish.
Ride in a hot air balloon

Hot air balloons are always something I have found very fascinating. Being so high up in a semi-open environment would allow you to have a perfect view of your surroundings.
