It's Tough Being Fascinating

"Today you are YOU,
that is TRUER than true,
There is NO ONE alive,
who is YOUER than YOU!"- Dr. Seuess

There are 6.974 BILLION people in this world, and you just happen to be you. You aren't your neighboor, your best friend, your worst enemy, or even Martin Luther King Jr., because you are yourself! And you hold the power.

You hold the power.

This is YOUR LIFE.

And quite frankly, you can do whatever the hell you want to do, no matter what anybody else tells you.

What can I say to you that will inspire you to go and do the things you want to do in your life? My last post was about your bucket list, and that kind of goes along with this post, but with a twist.
You have one chance. Every second you are getting older and wiser (hopefully), and every one of us need to come into realization what happiness is and how to attain it. Self realization.
Lets take a self evaluation test shall we?

Things you'll need: Paper, writing utensil, and an open mind!

Self Evaluation <3 of your pretty little life

1. Do I do something every single day that makes me happy? If not, why?
2. Where do I see myself in the next couple of days? "Is this the direction I want to be heading?"
3. Where do I see myself in the next couple of months? " "
4. Where do I see myself in the next year? " "
5. What about 5 years?
6. 10 years?
7. Do I create goals for myself? If yes, then do I follow through with them? If I don't make goals, then why the hell not?
8. Look at the people you choose to spend your time with. Do these people have similar life goals, plans, values, morals, interests, etc. as you do?
9. Look at where you live. Is this where you actually want to be?
10. Do you want any of the lives of the people who you're surrounded by? Why or why not? If no, then what am I going to do about it?

After you have completed the test, make a "Things That Make Me happy <3" list!

 Here's mine below!

You can make it as creative as you want, and as long as you want! Then hang it on your wall!(or anywhere you will see it often.) SO THEN you will see it and be reminded everyday, why you love your life.

Hope you enjoyed this post! <3 xoxo.

The Bucket List

Lately I've been reading this book called "Before I Die" by Jenny Downham. It's about this girl who has cancer and she starts a bucket list of the things she wants to do before she dies, because she obviously doesn't have a lot of time left. This has really got me thinking about the things I want to do before the old Grim Reaper knocks on my door.

 I'm a huge fan of bucket lists so here is one of my Life Bucket Lists on my graduation cap!

If you can't read it very well it says: Travel the world, go skydiving, make a difference, see the 7 wonders, ride a gondola, send a message in a bottle, paint on an elephant, attend a masquerade, shop in New York, date a British man, dye my hair a crazy color, break out of my comfort zone, break a world record, sit front row at a concert, kiss someone famous, live in another country, LIVE.

You or I may not have cancer but we really need to get life started regardless! I mean we don't want to wait until we have cancer or something stops us! Now that I have graduated it's time to get this thing rolling!
I don't want to wait and do my bucket list until I'm a vegetable, so I decided I would start now! So come out of your comfort zone and join me on this journey!

I've made so many bucket list's, but one thing I've always wondered, is how to stick to it? How can you make yourself complete everything you want to do before you die?

Here are 8 tips on Completing Your Bucket List

1. Set goals. Don't just write what you're going to do, but plan how you're going to do it!
2. Put a time limit on it and decide when this going to go down. If you say when you're going to complete it by, then you are a million times more likely to do it!
3. Narrow down the unrealistic goals. I mean yes, you do want some crazy fun ones, but be honest with yourself. Are you really gutsy enough to go skydiving? The more realistic and simple goals the better!
4. Include ones that are more personal to you! You're a unique person, and no one is exactly the same as you, so no one else should have the same bucket list as you! Get creative.
5. Believing is doing. If you can believe in yourself enough to accomplish this life goal, then you can do it.
6. Put it in a place where you see it all the time. Then you'll be reminded, so the bucket list won't get neglected!
7. Tell people what you're going to do on the list so the list becomes more real and you are more likely to go through with it! Plus, then you might find someone to do it with you!
8. Imagine yourself doing this list. Each and every single thing, take some time to close your eyes and visualize yourself going through with it! 

When is it good to make a bucket list? Anytime really! Start now and start tonight! You can make it look all fancy or if you're not an artist, then just a simple list will do perfectly! 

It's always fun to make bucket lists with my best friends, and then you complete the list with them!

Honestly, this is probably the best quote I've ever come across... So honest, so true, and so straight forward.

13 Reasons Why Europe is the Best Place on Earth

As you guys know, I have an obsession with Europe and especially Britain. There are so many reasons why I love this phenomenal place. I have never actually been there, but my dream is to go to Europe and date a British man!

 Everything is beautiful in Europe.

 I love everything about it! Here are 13 reasons why the Europe is the best place on earth.

1. The gorgeous beaches! Now doesn't that look nice? I mean let's be real guys. And they have some nude ones too! Oo la la!
   
   
2. The accents. Oh, the adorable accents! I am a sucker for accents (especially British). They just are so sexy it's unreal. They also just seem to have some sort of class about them! Check out this video and just watch the British (and Irish) accents! http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=8lTkfY_T7cU&feature=endscreen
3. Amazing architecture! Places like Britain, Rome, Italy, Spain, France, and Greece happen to be my personal favorites. Like holy hell, my house doesn't even compare to this! 
   and the Colosseum is just straight up legit!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Great music artists reside and originate in Europe. Of coarse One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Green Day, Blink-182, Florence + the Machine, and tons of others!
5. The men there are unbelievably attractive. Like this is me drooling all over my laptop and getting a little bit dizzy, because they are so yummy. It's pretty much every American girls dream to make out or "snog" with a British man! Apparently they are good kissers! Score!
6. Romance. They just seem so romantic! The gondolas, beautiful fountains, legends, charm, etc.
   
    
7. Sense of fashion. Everyone walking down the streets of London is never caught without a great outfit! They dress nice for movies too, which I thought was really cool! I mean here, if we want to go see a movie, we might be looking good, but it wouldn't be weird to see someone in some sweatpants! I know I've been guilty of this once or twice...
8. Deliciously amazing food! Everyone has heard about the pastries, the tea, the bakeries, the pasta, the crumpets, and the whole works. I've been told, "If you don't go for anything else, go for the food."
   
   
9. The outlook on life! They seem so carefree and I just love that kind of attitude!
10. There are so many things to do! You can go sight see beautiful places, shopping in the worlds biggest shopping centers, clubbing and dancing like never done before, lay out on the gorgeous beaches, crazy carnivals, insanely good concerts, and a million other things!
11. Europe is pretty much the art capital of the world! It's an artist's dream to go and paint in Venice or Rome. The art from the buildings to the statues, it is beautifully marked everywhere the eye can see.
    
    
12. Drinking. I've never drank before, but since they're fond of the booze over there. I've thought about trying it if I go... So, I told myself, if I'm going to drink, then I might as well drink in a pub in England with a gorgeous British man by my side!
    
    
13. Just the fact that they are extremely passionate when comes to something they love! Food, romance, architecture, art, music, clothes, or anything. They go all out! Chefs spend all day cooking away so they have a wonderful meal. Italians say, "You Americans eat to live, but we Italians live to eat!" Passion's where it's at. Europe's the shit.

And that is why, my friends, I'm going to live in the UK. At least for a while... I know it will be a scary thing, but sometimes in life you have to take chances. Live with no regrets, move forward and be where you want to be, and do what you want to do.

Live life for yourself! How can you be happy if you are pleasing everybody else but yourself?


This is definately some advice that I need to take under consideration, because honestly... I'm scared. Scared to follow my dreams, scared to go somewhere and be where I want to be, scared to be with who I want to be, because I might miss it here! So all of this is for me, as much it is for you!
My family isn't exactly supporting my dream... to be honest they would want me to stay home for the rest of my life, and be super glued to the small town I'm just dying to break free from! I can't stay forever! How could I? I'm a wanderer, and I have been caged long enough...

So many choices in life man.

Take a chance.

Do what you want to do.

You only live once... cliche', yet such a true statement.

Make your dreams a reality.

Your dreams can't come true until you WAKE UP.
So here I am on the verge of waking up, at the age of seventeen, trying to push away my fears. Yet, I'm still sitting here in Idaho, waiting for something beyond the line. I have traveled about half the United States and been out of the country, but that isn't far enough! You know what I mean? I believe some people were born to explore. We're curious, we love the adventure, we crave for new sites and different people, and we have to get out there and do what has been calling our names our entire lives!

Here is one of my favorite quotes by the man who inspired my childhood."You have brains your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go." -Dr. Seuss

 

Well, where in the world do you want to go and why there? Or do you have other dreams that your heart is wanting you to follow, but your head keeps getting in the way?
What is your favorite part of Europe? Mine would be the men...
