12 Things I Want To Do Before Turning 26

I want to travel to Paris again and admire more than just the pigeons that my 5 year old self was infatuated by the first time.

12 Things I Want To Do Before Turning 26
PC Wallart

I'm one of those people who firmly believes that you should live your life to the fullest while you can. I'm also one of those people who says things like that and yet, I spent all of this week eating junk food and binge watching "The Flash" on Netflix. This is honestly how I plan to spend my last month as a teenager, but once I turn 20, I'm going to set out to do these 16 things before I turn 26.

1. Ride a bike around Amsterdam

I would most definitely need to work out a bit before doing so seeing as I get winded from a flight of stairs.

2. Go camping with friends

3. Be Sandy from "Grease" for Halloween

Of course, I'd want a Danny Zuko to tag along.

4. Visit Barcelona

If you think I'm not going to sing "Strut" by The Cheetah Girls while I'm there and then proceed to sing "Barcelona" by Ed Sheeran you are mistaken.

5. Learn how to make "Coffee Art"

Deliciously beautiful.

6. Go to Paris with someone I love


Which let's be real, will most likely just be my best friend or my dog.

7. Learn how to surf

I'm talking real surfing--not just boogie boarding back to shore on a one-foot wave.

8. Sing on a Broadway stage


Now, this is one that is going to be a bit more difficult to accomplish.

9. Live in another country for 6 months

London is at the top of that list at the moment.

10. Attend a Masquerade Ball

I'm not sure if it's the multiple movies I saw as a child where people fell in love at Masquerade balls or the "mystery" of who's behind the mask--even though a mask that simply covers a minimal portion of your face can't do much at hiding your identity.

11. Spend NYE in NYC

The thought of ringing in the New Year with a million individuals and hundreds of pounds of confetti falling around you brings me great anxiety and great joy at the same time.

12. Be on a T.V show


This is the one on the list that is mostly wishful thinking. It's always been something I wanted to do--so much so that when I was young, I'd call talent agents trying to set up appointments. They catch on pretty fast when it's a 12 year old pretending to be a mother. Side note: If I got to choose, I would 100% want to be filming at Warner Brothers Studio.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
