We’ll let you in on a one-million-dollar secret: life is shorter than you think. And we don’t mean that to be dramatic, but rather as a fact. One day, you and everyone else will be gone from this planet. Sure, there are ways to prolong your existence — eating healthy, exercising regularly, and being extra careful while crossing the street. But at some point, we’re all going to be ashes. And guess what? Those things you want to do at least once in your life will be left unfulfilled on a list of personal projects.

It’s easy to let days go by and still not experience both the finest and simplest things. It can be for any number of reasons — lack of money and time, fear of change, or lack of ambition. We all have those little dreams and aspirations on our bucket lists that we never make a move toward because something more pressing happens along the way. Now we’ve decided it’s time for you to start living your time in this world with more gusto! There’s no point in putting off those must-do things in life that could make you happier. Days will pass you by so quickly, and before you know it — poof! — the time and energy you had will be gone.

So what are some things everyone should experience at least once? That’s what users on AskReddit tried to answer. The results were full of fun, interesting, and sometimes even mind-blowing answers. From the simple to the bizarre, we selected some of the most upvoted responses we’ve seen. We’re not saying you have to do all of these things by the time you’re old and gray, but at least try them. Who knows — maybe one of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences will change you forever.

Being somewhat introverted—-I’m just as happy in my own company as I am in the company of others (quite often much happier with just myself—-and my pets, of course)—-this is absolutely necessary. It’s the only way I can recharge my “social butterfly battery”, and have the energy to go out to face the world.

"An mud run or obstacle course marathon. The thrill, people, and camaraderie are beyond belief. One of the greatest things I've ever involved myself with."

It's not for everyone but hashing would fall nicely into this category as well

Long ago I was homeless on purpose, living the punk-rock lifestyle and squatters rights. I'm getting too old to enjoy it anymore, but it was a blast!

I lived most of my life in the high desert. Soo dry felt like Linus from peanuts. Moved to northeast Ohio 3yrs ago. The only 2 things I miss are the mountains and sagebrush

I love how many of these suggestions are pretty much "get PTSD it changes how you look at the world"

Oh yes, the jubulation and pride seeing my Saints win the Super Bowl was euphoric.

"With no money"? I wouldn't even last a week traveling like that, let alone a month or longer...

"Owning a business. The feeling of not having a monthly paycheck guaranteed is terrifying, but knowing that you have complete financial and general freedom (no boss, no "downsizing", unlimited earning potential, take vacations whenever you like, just take the day off if you're sick, etc.) is exhilarating."

"Sudden and unexpected loss. Nothing has made me more grateful for all the blessings in my life because of grief. True grief changes a person and you eventually choose if it's going to destroy you or mold you into a more compassionate person."

"Everyone should swim with sharks. If you're scared of them, conquer your fear and at least swim with Tigers or Lemon sharks. If you're more balsy, swim with Bull sharks. I would not recommend swimming with great whites but if you love sharks and would like a challenge, go for it. They are less likely to kill people than the police."

Sharks only ever bite when they mistake you for food. This is becauase they are highly intelligent and curious creatures. Just like a todler puts things in their mouth to learn about the world, sharks do the same. They also don't like the taste of human as it is foreign to them. As long as you swim upright near them, and don't splash around, they won't bite, and will instead swim up to you to see what you are.

"Going on a 7 day cruise, If you can afford longer that's even better. There is plenty of natural things to experience in the world but a cruise is purely materialistic. It's relaxing being away from work and responsibilities, generally speaking cruise lines do their best to make everything worry-free. If you save up enough money there are plenty of activities to do at each destination, plus money for souvenirs."

The Military literally uses the same tactics that cults use to brainwash people and make them less likely to question authority. It all starts in basic training/boot camp when they first do everything they can to strip you of your identity. The Marines tend to be the most brainwashed of all the branches.
