20 Things To Do Before You Turn 20

I turn 20 in a little over a week and I've thought what is on my bucket list that I have done and haven’t done. I've complied a list of 20 things to do before you turn 20

1. Make a blanket fort, stay in all day and watch all your favorite films. It is so much fun, like nine out of 10 on the fun meter

2. Spend a day without any technology whatsoever. As crazy at that sounds it’s a great debrief and day getaway from society

3.Take a vacay to a foreign country. Get lost, just make sure you have an up-to-date map in your back pocket

4. While abroad, master a foreign language.

5. Tell your parents you appreciate all they do for you. Seriously, it never gets said enough.

6. Join a sports team you have no clue how to play. Its a lot more fun than you would think

7. Dance in the rain.


8. Learn how to play a musical instrument

9. Try food you cant pronounce, it might end up being your favorite

10. Go skinny dipping on a warm summer night

11.Sleep under the stars one beautiful night

12. Vote! Flex your political power and vote!

13. Go out to a place you visit every day and photograph it. You will see things you’ve never seen before

14. Write a letter to yourself to open 10 years later

15. Go to a dinner or a movie by yourself. Its a lot more fun than you think

16. Learn to cook your favorite meal to perfection!

17.Compliment someone every day

18. Meet knew people — talk to a stranger every chance you get — just be safe

19. Learn to love yourself with all your good and some bad

20. Fall in love with someone

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
