Whether you are a teenager, or a middle-aged adult, or even an elder, chances are, there are many ways to improve your daily routine and help your lifestyle. With a few small additions and adjustments, your life can become much more productive, healthier, and happier. On this list below are things that not many of us do, myself included, which we can utilize to enhance our daily lives.

1. Go to bed by 11 every day, or even earlier if possible.

2. Exercise every day. A light walk or jog will suffice.

3. As soon as you wake up, make your bed.

4. Do some light stretching in the morning.

5. Save a dollar (or more) every day.

6. Wake up one or two hours earlier than normal; you will be pleased with the time you have.

7. Limit your daily junk intake.

8. Eat within 200 calories of your daily calorie intake, calculated here. This is more for adults as opposed to younger, still growing people.

9. Try to avoid screens within one hour of waking up and going to sleep.

10. Stand up at least once every hour.

11. Read a few pages of a book every day.

12. If you do read a book, try to read one off this list.

13. Laugh and smile multiple times a day.

13. Drink a lot of water every day; this is possibly the most important and most improving thing you could do.

14. Listen to some classical music, or at least some other happy music if you can't stand classical.

15. When listening through earphones, use on-ear earphones, as they are better for you.

16. Learn a bit of a new language every day; this language can be a coding language too!

17. Analyze your current daily routine, and cut out any time wasting activities, or reduce them.

18. Do crosswords, word searches, sudoku, or a similar game to keep your brain sharp.

19. Limit or cut daily soda and coffee intake.

20. Say to yourself every morning "I will do great today and learn something."

21. Find a hobby you enjoy, and do it every day or every few days; some examples are chess, writing, or coding.

22. Do some yoga or meditation every morning or night.

23. Talk to or hang out with a friend or family member daily.

24. Look at life as an opportunity to enjoy yourself.

25. Be optimistic about every day.

26. Keep a growth mindset every day, and try not to ever change it.

27. Use an agenda or create a to-do list each day so you do not forget anything.

28. Work daily on any long term project or study for a big test every day.

29. Play video games in place of some of your daily TV, to make your brain more active.

30. Make a promise to do at least 20 of these every day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
