How to bungee jump
It made me
 "Scary."
How I did it: I gave up after I stepped on the actual platform but a couple of hours later I went back and jumped without thinking or looking down. Went straight up to the platform and jumped after 3 seconds. Lessons & tips: Don't look down. Don't think too much. The sooner you jump, the easier it will be. Resources: Motivation of my friends.

How I did it: Well, my sister had done it. She told me that it was a ton of fun and I needed to try it. It took a long time to get the money together and find a day to go. When we did, I walked out to the end of the platform and was told to jump on 5. Well, 5 came and went and I didn't go. I just stood there petrified and tried to not look down.The man who was helping us just went behind me and told me random crap and I calmed down. Then, I close… Read how I did it…

Keeping an eye out for a good jump location to get to this summer. I could go to an amusement park, but the ones I see locally seem to be a modified bungee jump (tethered into a swinging thing) – gotta get the full YOINK! at the end I guess.

The company I looked at has Saturday programs. You meet at the edge of the forest in the morning and then hike a couple hours in to this bridge. It’s this really famous abandoned bridge (for some reason I want to say it was built as part of the New Deal during Roosevelt’s administration in an effort to employ people, but this may or may not be true). Everyone bungee jumps off, you have lunch, then you hike back. I have wanted to go for MONTHS but can’t find a buddy.
Still, someday I will. And it will be AMAZING.
