The Best, Top And Craziest World Records

Considering the weekend left me with some extra free time on my hands, I did some research on some of the craziest, most astonishing, and out-there world records that have been accomplished. Many left me laughing or shaking my head in awe of the lengths of diligence someone went to in order to accomplish this variety of records. I decided to gather some of my favorite top world records I came across, and pair a picture and short description with each one.

The largest sushi mosaic made:

A total of 20,647 sushi pieces were put together into a mosaic in Hong Kong January 8, 20 14. The sushi mosaic covered a 37-square-meter space.

The largest human peace sign:



October 6, 2015, in New York City’s Central Park thousands of people gathered to celebrate John Lennon’s 75th anniversary by making the biggest peace sign.

The biggest cup of cappuccino:



In Moscow Russia, on March 25, 2004, a group of people attempted to make the largest cup of cappuccino, with a cup weighing 50kg and standing at a height of 45cm tall.

Being run over by the most Jeeps:



In Hungary on October 21, 2012 a man by the name of Attila Banyai was run over by a Jeep five times to beat the world record.

Most naked riders on a roller coaster:



In southeast England on August 8, 2010 there were 102 naked riders that rode a roller coaster to beat the record.

World's largest suitcase created:



In China during 2006, it was certified that the world's largest suitcase had been created. The suitcase is roughly 6 feet tall.

Most people simultaneously hula-hooping:

In February 2013, on the outskirts of Bangkok, 4,483 people hula-hooped for seven minutes.

Hopefully, these outlandish, crazy, and out-of-the-box world records that have been broken left you laughing or feeling amazed. I know I felt both for all of these! But who knows what the creative minds and future hold for more world records being broken. I am excited to see!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
