25 things to do before you turn 25!!!

Life is short and we are also getting busier with time. Work, family, kids, travel, peer group, boss etc, each takes single calories from our body and nothing is left for oneself. So here is my list of 25 things that one should do before one turns 25. Never miss them, as you might not be able to do once you are in the full life cycle. If you are waiting for good time, then do them now as probably you may never get a chance to do them again. So what are you waiting for, check the list and start planning.

25: Do not get married. 

Yes, I start the list by a “do not” thing. No matter how close you are to your partner, never settle before 25. Life has just begun and there would be many desirable things you would love to try but marriage could stop you to try.

24: Try bungee jumping or sky diving or any other extreme sport.

Test your adrenaline by doing some extreme sports before you turn 25. Try to win the fear within yourself. 

23: A naked run on a nude beach. 

Yes, it’s a completely different experience at nude beach and you may end-up loving your body more after a prideful walk over there.

22: Make peace with your family.

Yes, you are no more a teen or brad anymore. Be mature and make peace with your family for all the problems you caused them when you were teen. Be mature to acknowledge their great presence in your life.

21: Get drunk in club and puke there on the floor. 

Yes, I mean it. You would not remember anything from that night but for sure you would remember everything after you puked.

20: Kiss completely strange person. 

There are some steps we take with intuition. So why not try to kiss someone randomly. Study says people enjoy kiss from strangers even more.

19: Weekend drive away into countryside alone. 

Perhaps best way to understand our mind is by being alone. And driving alone in countryside with no plan is greatest gift you can give to yourself. You would now more about yourself by the end of the trip.

18: Hitchhiking. 

People say it can be dangerous but how can you miss the fun of traveling with someone unknown for some time. 

17: Go bald. 

We love our hair, but we can try to go bald once in our lifetime and why miss this opportunity before you turn 25.

16: Get a  tattoo: 

You might not like it but expressing yourself through tattoo can make you happier. Try just small one but do get a tattoo.

15: Date a person from another country. 

Don’t miss a chance to date that hot girl in your campus or that hot guy you met on your exchange studies. Sometime dating someone from different country can give you new perspective about many things. It it sounds cool too :D

14: Get a 0 in any exam: 

Well, when all try to score perfect, how about scoring 0 in a test. You can boast your entire life that you were that person who scored big O in Maths or science or literature.

13: Try online dating: 

Hey, I know most of you must have tried this but even if you didn’t then try at least once. You would see so much strange things happen but sometime it can be something that you would cherish for your life.

12: Party all night, Party all night: 

Drink, Dance, Smoke and Flirt but do not end the party before sunrise. No matter how hard it is for you, but do not pass 25 age without partying all night once.

11. Cry out loud in deserted place: 

No matter how good we are doing, we have some displeasure, problems, issues that haunt us. Sometime we do not share these with others and keep them secret. They always haunt us so to stop them. Just go to a deserted place and cry out loudly. It would make you feel good about yourself and relieve all unwanted pressure.

10. Visit your high school once after you complete it: 

Those years would not come back, but just visit your school once and relive the best time of your life again for one day.

9: Travel to India: 

You can’t work in chaos or you dislike noise or you lack concentration or you are searching peace or looking for spirituality enlighten. I bet no country fits into the profile as India does. It can be a life changing experience for you. Each day would be a learning experience for you. It would be a very challenging experience but never miss it.

8. Using Couchsurfing to stay in a new city: 

It is probably the best way to know about a city. Just stay for few nights at a Couchsurfing host. These unknown people may be the best assets while travel. Just search an exciting host next time you travel.

7. Learn a music instrument: 

Are you excited to meet a girl who plays a guitar or a guy who plays violin? If yes, then do not miss any chance to learn one instrument by yourself. Music is the best language in silence. Hence a music instrument can become your best friend while you are alone. Just pick any one and start practicing it.

6. Learn a new language: 

I love French language when I listen to French girls. Ohhh damn but I can’t speak French. Do you want to be in same condition? According to many researches, local people are friendly when you communicate with them in native language, later you can shift to English but if you initiate with local language, they seem to be more helpful. So why not learn a new language.

5. Do one thing meaningful and yet not for you. 

Try to help some stranger or teach poor kids. Do something to give back to the society and nature after taking so much for last 25 years. It would give you pleasure that no materialistic things can give.

4. Learn cooking: 

No matter where you go, you would need cooking skills. Do not embarrass yourself when International friends ask you to cook some delicious food from your country. Learn something famous from your country, city or region with your home made recipe.

3. Make Coffee and breakfast for Parents: 

Thank them in a subtle way for all you got in your life with a cup of coffee in Morning.

2. Attend music festival at least once: 

There are hundreds of music festivals around the Globe. Do go to at least one music festival once before you turn 25. Music is one of the most beautiful language so why to miss it.

1. Back Pack Europe: 

No wonder it tops the list. It is in itself a long list of exciting things to do. You can do most of the things listed above if you plan European trip. Travel through countries by Trains. Use hostels to see the night life of Amsterdam or Paris. Go to crazy parties and eat delicious yet cheap food in Eastern Europe.

My checklist: 15 

In next one year: 5 more
