So a couple of days ago I reached the big 2-0, and officially reached a new era of adulthood in my life. My teenage days are long gone, although I certainly don't feel any wiser for it. It shouldn't be this difficult for me to get my head around, being 20 now, but I don't really want to grow up yet. I'll admit I'm very pessimistic and cynical of everything, but to me, it's all downhill from now on. On a much cheerier note, I had an incredibly lovely birthday, courtesy of the wonderful ladies I live with. I had cake, bowling, confetti and amazing presents, followed by a great night of getting smashed in the Student Union.
So with 20 being such a whacking great landmark of life, I felt it necessary to mark the occasion with my very own list of things everyone should do before they hit their second decade.This is purely just a suggestion for a bit of fun.
- Had their first kiss.
- Gotten so drunk they can't remember what happened.
- Go on holiday with your friends.
- Stay up all night (and essay writing doesn't count!)
- Go see a band live.
- Learn to drive.
- Splash out on something expensive for yourself.
- Face a fear.
- Take time out for yourself, you're a human not a machine!
- Have a long conversation getting to know a stranger.
- Try something new, whether it's a hobby or food.
- Get obsessed with a TV show, and watch every episode.
- Discover what your drink is. (Mine is either Vodka/Coke, Cider or Tequila - mood depending)
- Get a job, whether it's your dream job or just because you need the money.
- Love your body, because it's the only one you're gonna have.
- Watch every Harry Potter film.
- Get down and dirty (My terrible attempt to avoid saying 'sex', I have family who read this!)
- Try to save some money, the adult world is expensive and you can't rely on parents forever.
- Ditch things in life that make you feel negative.
- Tell your family and friends how much you love and appreciate them.
So there it is. I really won't judge anyone if they haven't done everything, Lord knows I haven't, but I'll keep you guessing as to what I've done or not.
Much love ♥
