Top 5 Things To Do Before I Die

Because you only live once, you should strive for greatness to your own desires.

As many people do, I have at least five things I must accomplish in my life time before my hour glass runs out of sand. I believe we are all placed on Earth to fulfill a purpose, big or small. We all have a destiny to fulfill, a potential to reach, and an impact to make, on one or one million people.

I want to live a good life, filled with memories, moments, tears of joy and sadness, and successes. Don't we all?

1. One thing I must do before I die is have my dream job. I have always aspired to love my job, because if you love what you're doing, you will never work a day in your life. Whether your dream job is a teacher, an artist, a mechanic, in the military, or president of the United States, shoot for the stars, and achieve that job.

2. Fall in love and get married, once. Everyone dreams about their happily ever after. My only goal towards that in life is to fall in love, and stay in love. Stay with the person I married, work through issues, stay together and be happy. I don't want divorce in my future. If something is broke, I want to fix it. I don't want to endure the heart ache and pain that comes along with it, especially if children are involved.

3. Achieve the biggest goal I have set for myself. We all set dreams and aspirations set out for ourselves. Whether we made them at age 5 for 50, we all have on thing at the top of that bucket list we are always itching to cross off. I will make it my mission to cross off the number one spot on my bucket list.

4. Travel to different places, see different things. Often, we place ourselves in bubbles and do not pass through the outer circle of our comfort zone. Great things happen outside of our comfort zones whether we think so or not. By allowing ourselves to see what the world has in store for us beyond what we are used to, we will grow as people spiritually and culturally.

5. Educate myself in the here and now. I don't want to be one of those old folks who shun anything that has happened or has been invented in the last four decades. I want to keep up with the changing times, keep my mind sharp, and be open to the new ways. Although, I might not always like the new ways, changes, and new inventions, I will not be stubborn and act as if I live on a different planet.

Fulfill all your dreams to the best of your abilities!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
