The Event That Lead Me To Make My Bucket List
LeeAbba Monte

It was 6am on July 27th, 2015. I was on my way to work, just like any other morning. Although, this morning my car tire fell off my car causing my car to flip 4-5 times. I sit there, barely able to move, my vision going in and out, and crying in pain. I watched as 3 cars passed me, not even stopping. Finally, a truck stopped, I stayed awake long enough to tell him my home phone number to contact my family. The next thing I know, I'm being taken out of an ambulance and heading into the emergency room.

That day was probably the scariest day of my life. One minute I was driving and the next I was dying. It didn't help that the ambulance attendees alerted me that from the outcome of the accident that it is a miracle I am alive, as all other accidents that happen like this end with the passengers dead. I was in shock for about 2 weeks; I refused to drive, to go out, or to even really do anything. Then the bingeing of Netflix movies and tv shows started to get to me. I started to watch movies like "Eat Pray Love", "Pretty Woman", and "Letters to Juliet". These inspirational movies, and more like them, made me want to just get up and do something with my life. I just almost lost my life, I need to go and live it!

So what did I do? I made a bucket list!

My Bucket List:

1. To Visit New York City

2. Go Skydiving

3. Travel the World

4. Ride an elephant

5. Live on my own

6. Buy a Jeep

7. Get Married

8. Go on a Cruise

9. Graduate College with my Masters


10. Be on Stage at a Concert

What's yours?!

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.
