What is Life experience and how do I get it?

I'm going to leave school this year and I have virtually no life experience, I guess I want to know examples, and how I can go out and get some. I was sitting at home thinking to myself yesterday If I died now what would I have to show for it, partly because I have no ambition, or maybe because I read too many adventure stories, who knows.

    How to get life experience?

    Talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to.

    Move somewhere that you don't know anyone, even if only for a summer.

    Say yes to something that is a little risky (you'll probably get burned, but that's not the point).

    Do a ride along with the cops.

    Everyone teaches you not to take risks when you are a kid, as if you can somehow avoid risk in life. What they should be teaching you is how to do risk assessment, so you know which risks are worth taking and which aren't.

    It need not be an adventure but every minute of life we experience some thing or other! You also might have experienced number of things in life may be good or bad !Be excited with positive thinking and try to understand the nature of life !

    I think life experience is different things to different people. To some it may be, experiencing new things. To some it may be, struggling to accomplish a goal. To others, it may simply just be handling life's everyday challenges. To me, it's an accumulation of these things. Either way, I really don't think you have to chase it down. Trust me, it's likely that before you die, you will have had plenty of life experience.

    The life experience is something you and only you can experience.

    It isn't the same for anybody.

    The "life experience" is experiencing life on your own, nobody can tell you how to do it.

    life experience is what you experience during life and you get it by being alive.
