At one point or another, most people will most likely be single in their twenties but there are so many things to do while single in your twenties. Even if you are in a relationship, many of these things can still be done in your life too.

1. Go to Las Vegas with your girlfriends.

Las Vegas is the perfect place to go with girlfriends from gambling to the nightlife to shopping to eating to shows there really is something for everyone and you're bound to have fun.

2. Get your first apartment and decorate it exactly how you want it.

This is one of the few times in your life you can live completely on your own and decorate exactly how you want it, without having to worry about if someone else will like it.

3. Save money.

Although you'll have expenses you have to pay on your own, you also won't have to worry about someone else's expenses or paying for someone else. Take advantage of this and put money aside whether it be for a car or a future home.

4. Invest in stocks

Instead of wasting money on things you may not need, invest your money. Research what stocks are doing well and inform yourself before investing.

5. Build a wardrobe.

Instead of buying cheap clothes and things you'll only wear once, buy clothes that are timeless and that you'll wear for years. It's time to start focusing on quality, not quantity.

6. Learn how to cook at least 10 meals.

You'll no longer have people to cook for you and it's not good to rely on takeout and already prepared or frozen meals. Learn to cook meals that you like and that are easy.

7. Backpack through Europe.

This may not be possible for everyone, however, if you can do this then do it. This is one of the few times in your life you won't have to worry about someone else's schedule as well. Traveling does so much for a person and teaches you things you can't learn otherwise.

8. Dedicate yourself to your work.

You'll never get your dream job unless you work for it. Work had and focus while you don't have other obligations or people in your life to worry about.

9. Go to the gym and get healthy to feel good about yourself for yourself.

Go the gym when you get the chance and work out to make you feel good about yourself. This doesn't mean you need to go to the gym to lose weight, it can simply mean to be more healthy. It's important to feel good about yourself and being healthy will help this.

10. Spend time with your family.

As you get older it's important to remember that your family does too. Time may be limited so spend time with them while you can.

11. Land your dream job.

This goes along with dedicating yourself to your work. Work hard so you can land your dream job because it may be harder to do so when your older and have other people and responsibilities to worry about.

12. Go out and have fun with your friends.

It's important to have fun with friends, of course doing so safely and in moderation. Go out and mingle or go out for a nice dinner and drinks. The options are endless but you'll be happier if you build friendships.

13. Move to a new place.

Always wanted to move to a new place? Do it! No one is holding you back and you have your entire life in front of you. Sure it might be scary at first, but it can also be rewarding and a great opportunity.

14. Get a college degree, a certificate, or licensed in something you're interested in.

Get educated in something you care about and make a career out of it. College may not be for everyone so go to a trade school or take classes online!

15. Take classes outside of college such as pottery or cooking classes.

It's never too late to try something new and there's always plenty of things to learn!

16. Find a new hobby.

Find a way to spend time outside of work doing something you love. Don't be scared to try something new. Hobbies are a great way to meet new people and spend time outside of work.

17. Pay off loans.

Pay off loans while you're young so you won't have to worry about them in the future when you have more things to pay for.

18. Learn to do something new some as simple as such as surfing or as intense as learning to fly a plane.

Like mentioned before, it's good to try new things and there's so much to learn in the world. Learn to do something new, whether it's a one-time thing or something that develops into a hobby.

19. Set a new goal, dream a new dream.

Set goals and try to achieve them, you'll feel great when you do. It's never too late to have a new dream.

20. Learn how to be on your own and how to make yourself happy.

Happiness comes from within and you'll be that much happier in your life if you can be happy on your own. Discover what makes you the happiest in your life and don't stop doing that.

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.
