25 Things To Do Before You Turn 25 by apeiron24(m): 8:12am On Aug 16, 2016 |
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. Go to a Gay / Lesbian Club or Bar.
Or join in with a Pride parade/festival. If you’re
gay, you could hang out at a straight bar.
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. Guys....I no sure say these can work iNigeria 1 Like 1 Share |
