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

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'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.
