Things To Do Before You Are 25 (must Read) by iamdjtune: 9:52am On Apr 27, 2015
1. Go to a Music Festival.

See your favourite bands play live; experience the
atmosphere, the fashions and the micro-culture of life in
a large field with a crowd of people all there to enjoy
the experience.

2. Buy Dinner for Your Parents.

Your parents may have been been funding your life for
years, so now you can experience the joy of repaying
their kindness, love, and responsibility, and of developing
an adult relationship with them. Taking them out for
dinner, and picking up the bill, is one of the ways of
doing this.

3. Travel to Another Continent

Travelling, with the exposure to different climes,
cultures, and peoples, broadens the mind, helps develop
life skills, and makes for more open attitudes and
tolerance. However open-minded you are, there’s nothing
like experiencing a different way of life firsthand. It
also furnishes you with some great dinner party stories!

4. Try an Adrenaline Sport.

You could try sky diving, white water rafting or bungee
jumping. Pushing your comfort zone and trying something
like this may terrify you, but you’ll feel immensely
proud of overcoming your fear.

5. Spend the Whole Weekend Partying.

Doing an “all weekender” can be more difficult as you
get older and have more responsibilities—it’s a great
experience to try!

6. Have a Good Conversation with Someone of a
Different Faith or Belief to Your Own.

Conversations like this helps us realise we’re not so
different to other people, regardless of appearances.

7. Vote.

Have your say on how your home country is run. We really
can’t complain if we have the democratic right to
express our views, but don’t do so.

8. Dye Your Hair a Completely Different Colour.
Or change your hairstyle.

One change that can make you
feel like a different person.

9. Tell someone you love him/her

10. Let Go of a Friendship.

Not all friendships are meant to last forever; some
come into our lives and exist for different reasons at
different times in our life. Holding on to a relationship
that has run its course doesn’t do either of you any
favours. Quality rather than quantity of friends is the
important factor.

11. Like Yourself.

The teen years are for exploring who you are, what you
like, and how you tick. Now its time to embrace who you
are: be proud of the unique self you have become.

12. Practice Being Charitable.

Giving is more rewarding than receiving. Consider
volunteering at a home for the elderly, or donating a
percentage of earnings to a charity that you feel is
important. Something as simple as smiling more and
being more friendly to the people in your life and
strangers that you come across can make a big
difference to both you and them.

13. Let the Grudge Go.

Holding resentment does more damage to you than
anyone else. Let it go. Use your energy for more healthy
pursuits.

14. Go on a Blind Date.

The excitement, the worry, the unknown outcome—who
knows what may come of it? A blind date makes for a
great story to tell friends, a learning experience and
maybe even a great love.

15. Exercise.

Your body is not 18 anymore. All bodies age, and the
punishment you might have applied to it in your teens
and early twenties by excessive studying, partying, and
having a chaotic lifestyle will not be so easy to recover
from as you get older.

16. Learn to Cook

Learning to cook, if you haven’t already, can be fun,
good for your health, and your bank balance. Trying new
recipes and developing a repertoire of easy, simple and
healthy meals is a great start.

17. Learn to “Be”.

The Italians have a great word; “Asolare“. It means
spending time in a meaningless but delightful way. Learn
to just be, rather than always doing.

18. Save for Your Retirement.

The earlier we start, the greater the amount for your
golden years. It may seem a long way off still, but the
retired you will thank you for having started by now.

19. Camp Under the Stars.

Experience the wonder of our world, with just canvas
separating you from mother nature. It puts everything
back into perspective, especially when life gets clouded
by all the trappings and complexities of the modern
world.

20. Learn to Balance Your Finances.

Money can be an asset or a burden, but a lot depends on
how you manage it. A few skills in the art of balancing
your finances can have a big positive impact on your life.

21. Wake up Somewhere Unfamiliar.

Enjoy the initial confusion, followed by the delighted
feeling of having done something reckless, followed by
the reality of “how do I get home?”.

22. Eat Exotic Food.

This is even better if it has an un-prounounceable name
and is experienced in another country!

23. Buy a Ridiculously Expensive Item of Clothing.

Then leave it un-worn in the back of the closet. Keep it
as an impulse buy; a reward to yourself; a “you deserve
it” item you buy but never feel okay to wear but never
get rid of because it cost so much.

24. Learn to Say No.

Learning to say “no”, is an important skill and one that
can dramatically increase the quality of our lives.

25. Learn to Be Alone

Our relationship with ourselves is the most important one
of our lives; we won’t spend as much time with anyone
else! Learning to enjoy our own company and enjoy being
alone is invaluable on so many levels.

Awesome list! I couldn't agree with you more on most of them. I just went whitewater rafting as well one time in the Grand Canyon, here in the U.S., on a 4-day trip with [url]Advantage Grand Canyon[/url] and it was one of the most exciting things I've ever done. That definitely ranks very high on my list. thanks again for sharing this awesome list.
