Things I Am GOING To Do While Still In My 20s

If I keep saying I WANT to do these things, they'll just be dreams. Saying I am GOING to do them, makes them goals.

The Narrative

Things I Am GOING To Do While Still In My 20s

1. Start a blog

I have been saying I want to start a blog for so long now and I have never just taken the leap and done it. I have always been afraid that it won't be good enough or I'll want to change something.

The beauty is that I can though. Not many people who blog start out with the best software, their editing skills develop as they see what works best for their vision, and you learn as you go.

2. Travel!

There are so many places I have yet to visit, just in the United States. I am making it a goal to branch out and get away from my Floridian roots of Universal and Disney for a few trips during breaks or even a long weekend.

Don't get me wrong, theme park trips are the best, but I would also love to get out into nature and experience four seasons instead of just two (and maybe a quarter of fall).

3. Try New Things On My Own

There are so many things I wish I would just get out and do but I always hesitate because I have no one to do them with.

That shouldn't stop me!

I want to run a Disney 5k, take a cool fitness class, learn to surf, and I should pursue those dreams whether or not I have someone beside me to share it with.

They're my goals, my passions, and I shouldn't wait on anyone else before acting on them.

4. Learn At Least 3 Signature Dishes

As a college student, I am pretty used to living off of basic meals like mac and cheese and chicken nuggets, but before fully being thrust into adulthood I want to learn a few easier but delicious dishes that I could make for a group of people or just a quiet night at home with a fridge full of leftovers.

They say you'll never learn until you try, so, time to get into that kitchen!

5. Take Risks

Life can be scary and there are always going to be opportunities that pop up which will push you out of your comfort zone.

Deciding to take a leap and just do something is really hard, especially for an over-thinker like myself, but learning new skills and meeting new people from an experience that you pushed yourself to do in the first place is the most rewarding thing.

Make your own list! Don't just sleep on your dreams, make them happen today!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
