This girl's bizarre bucket list can help everyone live their best life

No day is complete without sitting in an empty room for an hour.

As 11-year-old Jesse knows, no day is complete without sitting in a completely empty room for at least one hour.

And her truly wonderful bucket list is inspiring thousands -- over 10,000, as a matter of fact -- after her brother Josh spotted it on the counter at their house, then tweeted it out on Sunday.

Behold.

The list, featuring gems like "eat a hammerhead shark, snake and bear," is impressive for several reasons. First, there's the sheer variety -- imagine the wonder of a life in which you adopt a pet blobfish, then sleep for a full 24 hours.

Then, there are the levels, guys. If you want to train for a Doritos Locos Tacos eating contest, start by eating ten Doritos Locos Tacos. It's genius.

Josh, though, told us Jesse is keeping it chill in the wake of her newfound fame.

"I don't even know if she has an idea of the scope of her notoriety," he said. "10,000 people have said they love her for her ambition and I don't even know if she can even fathom that many people supporting her hopes and dreams."

And while she hasn't completed any of the items on her bucket list yet, she did manage to eat six Doritos Locos Tacos on her birthday last month -- a mere four away from her ambitious goal.

So, when does Jesse's self-help book come out? We would like to pre-order.
