Borrowed 5

Today's five come from my best friend, Justine, whom I've mentioned quite a few times. We decided to embark on this list together (my idea, btw), so there are some that we will both do and others which are solo missions. Here are her five:

1. learn some italian

2. white water rafting

3. cook a 4 course meal

4. get acupuncture

5. go backpacking 

My thoughts: Well, yesterday I saw her with this beauty (Rosetta Stone picture), obviously taking her Italian seriously. Which inspired me to maybe learn some German. We are going white water rafting, which will lead me to pee in my pants. Cooking a 4 course meal has been on our list for 3 years now, but this time it will be completed. She may have to do acupuncture on her own though, not sure I could handle that, but when she does complete this she will have faced her fears of needles! Go backpacking, is looking slightly positive (don't want to jinx), but this is our first choice for DEALL this year, and we'd go backpacking in the Lost Coast hiking roughly 8 miles a day for 5 days! If we don't get to do it then, we will find another time. By the way, Happy Veterans Day, Support the Troops!

Lost Coast Trail

This makes 15

The next five on my When I was Seventeen... list are:

1. learn to sail
2. jump off a cliff (I am afraid of heights, so free falling may cause me to pee in my pants!)
3. build a killer sand castle
4. swim with dolphins
5. make a full meal for someone (complete with dessert)

Most of this weeks five require water, which might just be me craving some summer. I also have no idea how I intend to learn to sail, but I'll figure something out. I also don't think my parents would let me cook dinner for them, they probably think I would be giving them uncooked meat or something. But this list isn't only for show I can say that I have climbed a tree and done something illegal (both of which I did very recently). My crime wasn't that bad (just stole a newspaper from a certain coffee shop, unintentionally though), and I didn't get caught so no biggie.

As I said last thursday, I would post five things on my When I was Seventeen... List.

Today's five has a little bit of everything: fun, silly, sentimental, and helpful.
Here it goes:
1. Fall in love
2. Wear a wig
3. Get my palm read
4. Zip line
5. Build a fire- from scratch

My song of the week comes from a Gatorade commercial "Gatorade has Evolved"

When I was Seventeen...

As I was watching, When I was Seventeen (celebrities talk about their life as a seventeen year old) on MTV,  I wondered what I would say I did. I was still sixteen at the time and decided to make a list of things I would do before I was eighteen. After many months of pondering, I came up with a list of about 40 things. My best friend and I decided that as the year went on we could continue to add on to the list, so we could do as many things as possible. So each Thursday I thought I'd share five things on my list. 
1. donate blood
2. go to Coachella 
3. write a screenplay
4. go to a corn maze
5. park the car
Some of them are a little silly (I still can't park!).


Is there anything you guys want to do before a certain age? or just in life in general?
