I turn 20 years old in a week, and since I’m leaving my teens behind, I’ve thought a bit about things I’ve done. And I think that there are a few things that everyone should do before they turn 20:

1. Eat mac and cheese

I never knew that NOT eating mac and cheese was so offensive.

2. Leave your home state or leave the country

You gotta go explore, you know?

3. Have a stereotypical sleepover

Because you always needs a night with just your friends.

4. Have a night you can’t remember

I can't remember what I was going to say about this.

5. Go stargazing with your friends

You need to have an existential crisis while looking up at the universe at least once.

6. Do something that scares you

Like eating mac and cheese. Or skydiving.

7. Swim in the ocean

Have your dramatic Ariel-on-the-rock moment. Or try to.

8. Climb a mountain

And look at the world sprawled beneath your feet. Preferably in the fall.

9. Have a impromptu dance party at 2am

With the music on full volume.

10. Buy something expensive that you don’t need

Treat yo self.

11. Tell someone how you really feel

Holding things in just really isn't what you want to do.

12. Go on a roadtrip

So you can lower your windows and blast your music until you're deaf.

13. Learn how to change a tire

So you can be the savior of the day on your roadtrip.

14. Skip class

Who needs a college degree?

15. Spend a day doing absolutely nothing

Except maybe watching Netflix and eating.

16. Go camping

WITHOUT your phone.

17. Go to a concert

You don't even have to know who's playing. Just go.

18. Learn something new

And all that new stuff you learned in Math class doesn't count.

19. Go skinny dipping

Make sure it's in the summer!

20. Have a deep a conversation with a stranger

It's easier to be honest with someone you don't know and will never see again.

There are a few things on this list that I haven’t done yet—I’ve never had mac and cheese in my life, and I haven’t changed a tire either. But I’ve got a week to go, who knows that’s in store!
