Someone once told me that youth is wasted on the young.

There are so many things we don't think of doing when we are young, that we come to regret not doing when we are older. Youth is wasted on the young because we don't know how to appreciate it yet. Let's not let time slip away from us when we are young.

Teen Bucket List

1. Travel

We might not have the money to go wherever we please, but we do have the time to do so. Traveling is something that isn't appreciated enough among the youth. We always think we will have time later on in life to live the glamorous life traveling all over the world. The hard truth is that life only gets busier from here on out. That's why people say there's no better time than the present. Save up some money and go to Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls or wherever you wish to explore. Just go see the world while you have the time. If you are like most people, however, then after college you won't have time to yourself to enjoy traveling (until after retirement).

2. Eat

Our metabolism is probably the highest it will ever be right now. As we grow older and our bodies age, our appetites change and our bodies just don't let us eat like we used to when we were young. Eat and try new foods while you are young and can handle it. Do not miss out on eating something delicious because you are trying to get slim for the summer. PS.: I'm not encouraging excessive and poor eating habits. What I am saying is that if there's something you want to eat, do it while you are young and have the appetite for junk food.

3. Love

Even the most happily married couples could still dream about the golden days when they were dating and didn't have much to worry about. This is the time to be dating, falling in love, experiencing heartbreaks and so much more. We eventually want to settle down and look for "The One," but until then, let us meet new people, get to know them and maybe fall in love a few times (or a dozen). As you date and pour your heart out to someone who you think is going to be The One, you really will find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

4. Save Money

One of the biggest things adults regret is not saving up money when they were younger. When we are young, we often don't know the value of money. Even when we get a job and make money, we spend it all. Learning to save money early on could make it so much easier to save money and deal with the financial aspect of adult life. This might not be a typical bucket list activity, but it is definitely one for the books. This is a life hack. Get in the habit of saving money now, and you will be so much better off later on in life.

There are so many more things that should go on this bucket list. I only started the list for you.

Don't wait until it's too late. Let's take advantage of our youth.
