Mimpix, discover the world.
For me, I want to be involved in as many things as possible, therefore my bucket-list is overflowing with goals that I will achieve. Most of them I cannot do because unfortunately, I'm fourteen, and in this world I can't do much by myself or without a steady income. Sure, my parent(s) can help me, but I really dislike relying on them too much. What I found was that searching online for ideas doesn't help either. I usually see the same things over and over again, like try, 'sky-diving' or 'travelling the world'. If only I had the money and time! But, there are still many things you can do. It's what they say, the little things in life make it count. Here are five things that you should try, and doesn't cost (a lot) of money, as I have done these myself. 1. Dance Yep, dance. Before you skip this paragraph, it's a lot more interesting than you think. Many people are too shy to dance, and joining the 'few' that do makes you appear as someone who has years of experience. It's awesome accomplishing something that little people have! There are many different forms of dance that you may have never heard of before, such as tutting which I have recently gotten into. Hip-hop, ballet, and jazz are more commonly known, but by digging deeper into the internet, you can access a world you have never thought existed. Try zumba, follow dance tutorials on youtube, and see if this is something that you could really get into. 2. Felting If you like knitting or sewing (unless you've never done that before, then you should try it!), felting is the right thing for you. It's actually really cool and you can create a lot of interesting crafts. To sum it up, you have to poke wool with a felting needle to form a shape. Sounds fun, doesn't it? You also need to be very patient as this takes a lot of time. Felting requires wool, a felting needle, and a felting pad/mat. I honestly don't know where people can buy these materials other than online, but try to check you local crafts store and maybe ask around after doing a bit of research on what you need. Here's a quick video so you can see what felting is for yourself: 3. Get Lost In Your City This is for people who don't leave their house too often, a.k.a. me. If you love to travel but cannot afford it, this is something you should definitely try. Walk/Drive around the city and get completely lost, go places you've never been before and visit as many shops and restaurants as you can. Put a budget on how much money you spend so you don't over use it. Talk to people and try to find out how to get home by yourself, but bring your phone just in case. Safety first, you never know what might happen! If you're 'too young' to do this, or can't get lost without your parents freaking out which I totally understand, maybe bring them with you. If that doesn't work out, visit a new store, restaurant, and experience what other people in the city offer nearby. 4. Be Thoughtful People attach themselves to people that bring a positive influence in their lives. Wether it is making someone laugh, falling in love, or taking care of your well-being, you should thrive to become the person you want as your best friend. Of course you should not completely change your personality, but take baby steps and aim to be the best version of yourself.

Video Production This completely changes your view on certain films, and in the online world, youtubers. Realizing the effort put into these videos allow you to understand and respect the work force's job. Next time you watch a movie or an episode of a series, recognize the different angles and shots throughout the film, especially the special effects. For animations, think about how every frame was drawn or designed. Who puts these scenes together? Do you know what is being worked on backstage? Video production is a lot more complicated than you may think. When starting off on your own videos (if you want them to be public, a good place to post is on youtube), find a decent editor and recorder for the processing of your films. Many cost a bit of money but there are ways in getting it free, some illegal which I will not mention. Find a genre you enjoy, to be the topic of your videos, such as vlogging, gaming, crafts, make-up, etc. Several editing tips are to remove awkward silences, put in funny pop-ups if you want, and add anything else that represents your creativity. You do not have to be professional in the beginning, but when you begin to develop a larger audience, higher quality content will be more beneficial. Hopefully you find that the film industry may be something you want to get into! What you might like: 25 Things To Add To Your Bucket List!
