The Buried Life.

Hey guys! Just dropping by to show my blog a little love and talk about a show that has given me some crazy ideas.

Over the past several months, I have caught a few episodes of the MTV show The Buried Life, and have seriously been intrigued.

If you haven't seen this show before, it is about 3 buddies who put together a list of 100 things they want to do before they die and then they all set out to accomplish them. Now granted some of the things they do are extremely insane and sometimes physically dangerous, but the principle of the idea is amazing. I mean these guys have managed to get so many things accomplished! I feel that people from small towns and families that are not exactly the most wealthy families seriously shoot themselves short and don't accomplish their dreams because they have the mentality that people like them don't get to do the kinds of crazy things they want. Even I have had that thought from time to time, so I decided to change that, at least for myself. And I hope that me doing this will possibly inspire some of you to go after the dreams ya'll have that will not be accomplished without drive and effort.

So I decided to think of a list of things I want to do before I die; but 100 things is a little lengthy and i don't have the time or space at the moment to type that all in this post. So i'm going to start out with a list of 10 things and hopefully I will add ten things everytime I post a blog until I get 100 things.

First 10 things to do before I die:
1. Spontaneously jump in the car and take a road trip to nowhere.
2. Get a college degree
3. Move to New York City and survive there for at least a year.
4. Get a Tattoo
5. Go on a blind date
6. Go to as many concerts in a year as i have time for.
7. Visit every state in the U.S.
8. Visit all the big historical sites in Europe i.e The Eiffel Tower, The Vatican etc.
9. Go surfing
10. Meet the cast of One Tree Hill

For those of you who want to see the origanal list that the boys made, go here and you can also click on each number thats crossed off and see clips of when it was accomplished i do believe.

So I challenge you all, put together a list and just start working toward accomplishing them! Take a risk with your life and be crazy and unpredictable.

Hey Hey hey.....

Hey lovies!! Just stopping in to update on how things have been the past few weeks!
I have been INSANELY busy with school because of my procrastination throughout the semester. I have definitely learned my lesson on that lol..
Because housing is shutting down here at college I am moving in with my sister and brother-in-law for the month or so we are out of school. During that time I also will not be working which is AWESOME! I seriously need a break from the retail madness and am so glad I won't have to deal with the next few weeks of crazy Christmas shoppers.
Speaking of Christmas shopping, my family proved to be very easy to shop for this year because my parents and Bro-In-Law and older Sister said they wanted nothing for Christmas other than me being home and safe. As far as my younger sisters went I got Hannah an Ipod case (she waited nine hours in a line on Black Friday to get her Ipod Touch 4th Generation) and Madi wanted a tobaggon with fuzzy stuff inside and that was really easy to find!
Wellpp I made some changes to my appearance lately! I got a hair cut! This is it...
And over break I'll be adding highlights to my hair..I think its gonna be really cuttee!!!
Anyways, Im gonna go. Work was super crazy busy today and I'm very tired...Ill be sleeping in tomorrow for sure! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Xoxo
