21 things to do before I turn 21

As of July 19, 2020, I turned 20 years old! The big 2 0. Which means I am officially an adult and also means I beat teen pregnancy.

I hit a lot of milestones between turning 18 and 20. Now I look forward to hitting some more milestones before I turn 21.

1. Get my Driver’s License. I know I should’ve gotten it. However I’ve been putting that last on the list since driving is the last of my worries. I wouldn’t mind walking to places, but there are some places I want to drive to if I wanted to travel by myself.
2. Get 2 Tattoos. I have not decided specifically on which ones, but I want one symbolic to my sister and another meaningful symbolic towards myself .
3. Go Camping. I would say in the woods, but I watch too many documentaries, so my backyard is just fine. It would be nice to have a campfire and sing campfire songs. That’s definitely something I would love to do.
4. Change my wardrobe. I don’t have a specific style. I just dress comfortably. I want to go shopping and just try to see what style is good for me. Maybe like those fitting room montages you see on movies.
5. Finish a book. I know I say this alot, but I actually want to finish a book and get it published. I’m in the processes of rewriting a book I published on Wattpad a few years ago, so hopefully I don’t procrastinate too much.
6. Go to the West side. I realized I’ve only been on the Eastside of America, from Florida all the way to Connecticut. I want to at least go to Tampa or Saint Petersburg, maybe even California if I’m Lucky!
7. Vote! I’ve recently registered to vote and it’s easier than I thought. With everything going on in America we need to vote. If you’re 18 or turning 18 before election day, please help make a difference by voting. If you would like to check to see if you’re registered, go on http://www.vote.org.
8. Attend a Concert. With quarantine happening, i’m not how soon I will be able to do this, but hopefully the Corona Virus will die down before the New Year. Remember to wear your masks and stay home!
9. Go on a Picnic. The last time I went on a real picnic, I’d say 5th grade during field day. I want to go on a picnic, with a picnic blanket, sandwiches, fruit, books!
10. Dedicate an entire week for myself. Okay maybe not a full week. If I can’t dedicate 5 days, maybe 3 days. I go through a lot of things mentally and I believe I deserve a couple of days for myself. Maybe go to a local hotel and just lounge. I don’t something special and relaxing with no worries.
11. Take more pictures of myself. I have a thing now where I only take pictures of myself on occasions, I’m going to start dressing up just to take pictures, my instagram feed deserves that.
12. Do Karaoke. I have always been to shy to do karaoke. At the same time I would always want to sing or rap one of my favorite songs for fun. Maybe I can push myself to do it one of these. The second hard part may be choosing which song to sing. (Doing a List on that!)
13. Go to a Drive-In Movie. When I was younger my family and I went to drive in movies frequently, but now it’s not as much. It would be nice to go especially during quarantine.
14. Learn a new Language. I have been working on learning spanish for years, maybe now I can finally learn how to be fluent.
15. Interview a C-List or above celebrity. It has always been my dream to interview Beyonce, but as of right now, interviewing a famous youtube or tik toker would be just as great. I never met a celebrity or even spoken to someone with more than 100k followers, so getting the opportunity to interview them would make my life.
16. Get Braces. I’ve been looking forward to getting Braces for a really long time. I think it’s time to start putting money towards that now.
17. Go on a Social Media Hiatus for one week Each month. Social Media makes me really anxious with the conspiracy theories and assumptions with the news. I did a hiatus before and it felt refreshing.
18. Meditate Everyday. After leaving Jacksonville I decided to start meditating and manifesting and everything was working out well until I started to work. With my busy schedule I couldn’t seem to find time to start meditating again. Now that my schedule isn’t to all over the place, I will start meditating. Maybe then I will stop stressing out so much.
19. Get my passport. It’s unbelievable how many things I haven’t seen yet. There are so many beautiful countries I’d like to see like Greece, Italy, France!
20. Adopt a Kitten. At first I never liked cats, but now I realized how alike we are. Loving, Silly, and Laid back. I would love to be cuddled up with a furry kitten right now.
21. Have a Candle Lit bath. This has been on my bucket list for years and it seems like something so easy to do, but I never seem to find the time to actually do it.

I can’t wait to continue this journey with you guys. I can’t believe I am actually 20! Time to be an adult. I will be updating this post for each milestone I complete. I’m looking forward to you guys pushing me to do these things.
