The truth is that people have been about that YOLO life forever. It's just that we have a catchy acronym to go with it now. The time seemed right to take YOLO to the next level, so we scoured the web for these Classic YOLO Moments. From a kid throwing a sandwich in school to Rihanna smoking a blunt in Hawaii, these are the things—whether remarkable or regrettable—that make life worth living, or at least make for a few laughs. So click through, get inspired, and then go do something crazy. #YOLO
