8 Reasons You Should Willingly Jump Out A Plane And Go Skydiving Right About...Now

In This Article:

Skydiving has always been top on my bucket list. It has been exactly a year since I jumped out of a plane and I am strongly considering doing it again soon.

1. Nothing will ever seem as scary again

Once you are riding in a tiny plane up 10,000 feet and then are told to jump, nothing will seem scary again. Now if I am hesitant to do things, I always tell myself "you jumped out of a plane, you got this."

2. Get epic pics

Do it for the gram, but maybe hide it from gram because she will call you crazy. The pictures from the jump are breathtaking and would definitely make you seem like a badass. They also take a video of the jump so you can relive it again and again once safely on the ground.

3. Face a fear

Whether it is the fear of planes, heights, takings risks, or the entire thing, conquering the jump would be a segue to start facing any fear head on.

4. Gain a new perspective

There is nothing more calming, and no I am not being sarcastic, then swinging your legs over to see the clouds and sky passing below you. It is a beautiful scene and can only be viewed right before a jump.

5. Bragging Rights

Ever been asked to disclose a "fun fact" about yourself? Well, if you go skydiving, you will never have to struggle to find something interesting to say again.

6. Priceless Rush

I have never experienced something as freeing and exhilarating as jumping out of a plane. It happens so quickly, but also feels like you are up there forever. It is incomparable to any other thrill-seeking activity.

7. Take a risk

I was never big into taking risks, even calculated ones. After skydiving, I realized how important it is to push yourself to do things that are out of your comfort zone.

8. Honestly, because why not

Skydiving is a fun activity with many safe and trusted facilities all over the country and world. If you are even thinking about it a litter, go do it!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
