20 things I want to try out now that I am 20

Learn how to surf

Giphy

This would of course include a trip to somewhere nice and warm with waves.

Backpack the Appalachian Trail

Research, research, research. I have been researching A TON of information on how to through hike the Appalachian Trail. Will have to wait until after I graduate college, but it is on the bucket list.

Try bungee jumping

Slightly terrifying, but I can be labeled as an adrenalin junkie sometimes.

Fall in love

Maybe I watch too many sappy love stories, but I want to know what it is like to be in love. Maybe its not all its cracked up to be, but I think its time.

Take a road trip with friends

Spring break, some random weekend, honestly I do not care when, I just want to go on a road trip with a group of friends.

Sleep under the stars

How can you NOT want to sleep under the stars at some point?

Get a passport (it's high time for this one…)

Giphy

I just wish they still stamped passports when you travel.

Learn how to play an instrument

Time to get away from the air guitar...I have always wanted to know how to play the piano or the guitar. Might as well start now.

Go to a festival

Probably not worth the heat, or the amount of paper, but I think it would be fun.

Go scuba diving

Giphy

I can act out my childhood desire of being a mermaid and see some cool fish? Sign me up!

Go rock climbing (the real kind)

Jessica Pond

Obviously, this is not the real kind of rock climbing. However, this is one of the many things that has lead to my desire to go rock climbing somewhere like Colorado.

Start saving money…. really saving

Giphy

Save now...enjoy it later? At least I hope that is the case.

take more pictures

Amanda Hessel

My friends and family can attest. I am currently on a photo rampage. I want to find a balance between enjoying a moment and being present, while also taking pictures so I can later look back and remember said moment.

Learn how to cook

As much as I love grilled cheese, might be time to learn how to actually prepare a meal.

Do something spontaneous (get a tattoo, get a piercing…)

Giphy

My parents might kill me for this one, but it would not be as spontaneous as it seems. I have been thinking about different ideas and options for years, but it feels right somehow. I am no longer the rash teenager, so maybe my desire will be seen as a thought out decision instead of a drop of a hat....even if I do make the decision suddenly one day.

Backpack through Europe

Throw everything you need in a backpack and just start walking. Go anywhere, whenever. What could go wrong?

Stay somewhere haunted

Not sure if I even believe in ghosts (sorry Bailey), but I still think it would be cool to stay somewhere that is considered haunted.

Go cliff jumping

I cannot do cool tricks, but I want to jump off a cliff....safely!

Travel to a state that I've never been to (Louisiana, New York, etc.)

I want to travel everywhere, but I need to travel to some cool places in the US before I go anywhere else.

Enjoy life and those who are in it

Live. Laugh. Love. I had a shirt that said this when I was little and at the point decided it would be my life motto. Time to start living my said motto.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
