#67: Get More Than 5,000 Hits on a Youtube Video


This is my High Schools 2011 Lip Dub using the song Love Shack by the B-52's that my friend and I directed for our senior project. In case you don't know what a Lip Dub is it is a music video that you make in one single take of a song that you are not allowed to edit or add special effects too.
 It is quite challenging to make a couple thousand high school kids listen to you when they are all hyped up, but all the stress and planning is always worth it in the end. We had a better version but we were not allowed to use it for the competition because one of the kids in the beginning felt the need to do inappropriate dancing, safe to say I made it a point to make that kids life hell for the rest of the school year.  Although it isn't technically on my youtube channel I am still counting it as mine since I was the director, I have this on my channel as well but it is the edited version. 
It current is at 9,726 views.

#8: Get a Random Body Piercing


 I am not one for crazy body piercing because I have a fear of getting them ripped out from sports or other activities. But for some odd reason I have always really liked the look of industrial ear piercings so when an opportunity came up to get one I figured I might as well. And boy was my mother not happy to see this...which I guess is part of the fun of getting one done!

#57: Find out How Many Licks it Takes to Get to the Center of a Lollipop

 I have never been able to accomplish this because I always get distracted and end up eating the entire thing. But after 19 years I finally did it! As lame as it sounds I was pretty pumped about it. It took me 339 licks to hit the inner tootsie role...and about 2 seconds more to eat the rest. I didn't take a picture because I was so excited that I did it I just quickly ate it.

#45: Climb the Eiffel Tower


It is one of the top tourist attractions in the world so of course everyone should do this at least once in their life! The best thing about Paris is that there isn't really any skyscrapers, so unlike a city like New York you can literally see for miles. Once you reach the top you are taken away by how huge this city is; it seems to be completely endless and have countless things to do...but then you remember how nasty the city smells and you come back to reality.

#52: Stay in a Hostel


I first got the chance to do this when I went to Europe with my high school and we spend the entire time backpacking around and staying in different Hostels. Unlike the movie, most of them were really nice and were an awesome place to meet new people just like you. And who can argue with their super cheap rates?
Over the next several years I plan on spending a lot of times in these...to bad there isn't a way to become a gold star member or anything because I would for sure be able to accomplish that!
