Before I'm 50, because I'm already too late to do these things before I'm 25 :-D

Here's a compiled list:

Ask your boss for a pay rise.

Be able to create a three-course meal suitable for a small dinner party.

Be fearless

Be more intentional with my time

Be more present

Become a more positive person

Bungee jump or skydive (or both!)

Buy a new car

Buy a ridiculously expensive item of clothing.

Buy dinner for your parents.

Camp under the stars.

Choose a cool hobby

Conquer your fears

Date someone who says, “i love you” first.

Decorate your rented flat to make it really feel like home.

Do one thing that falls well outside of your comfort zone.

Dress up and go to a theme park

Drink more water

Dye your hair a completely different colour.

Eat exotic food.

Eat something weird

Eat whatever you want, when you want and not feel bad about it

Exercise.

Experience another culture

Find a form of exercise you actually enjoy.

Find a hobby that makes being alone feel lovely and empowering and like something to look forward to.

Find a style that works for you and build a wardrobe around it. Try to add to it a little each month.

Find a way to wake up in the morning that you don’t completely hate.

Find your passion

Finish accumulating all of my home decor

Forget who you are, what your priorities are, and how a person should be.

Fully redesign my site

Get a bonus at work

Get lost.

Get rid of clothing i don’t truly love

Go back to somewhere really nostalgic from your childhood.

Go on a 4-day, brunch-fueled bender.

Go on a blind date.

Go on a road trip

Go on at least one town or city break to somewhere in your own country that you wouldn’t normally think of visiting.

Go out and watch that movie, read that book, listen to that band you already lied about watching, reading, listening to.

Go skydiving

Go to a festival

Go to a gay / lesbian club or bar.

Go to a music festival.

Go to the cinema on your own.

Go to the one place you have always wanted to go to

Go to the theatre

Group together all the clothes you no longer wear and give them all to charity. Try to be as brutal as you can.

Have a good conversation with someone of a different faith or belief to your own.

Have FUN and ENJOY life.

Hold myself more accountable for my spending

Identify your fears and instead of letting them dictate your every move, find and talk to people who have overcome them.

If you’re employed in any capacity, open a savings account.

Keep a couple of house plants that aren’t cacti.

Keep a list of books you want to read and work your way through it.

Kiss someone you think is out of your league

Learn a new language

Learn a new skill, like a foreign language, an instrument, or even something like dealing cards.

Learn how to be you, and rock at it

Learn how to code a little better

Learn how to cook

Learn to “be”. The Italians have a great word; “asolare“. It means spending time in a meaningless but delightful way.

Learn to balance your finances.

Learn to be alone

Learn to cook

Learn to cook at least three or four of your favourite meals really well.

Learn to say ‘no’ — to yourself. Don’t keep wearing high heels if you hate them; don’t keep smoking if you’re disgusted by the way you smell the morning after; stop wasting entire days on your couch if you’re going to complain about missing the sun.

Learn to say no.

Leave the country under the premise of “finding yourself.” This will be unsuccessful. Places do not change people. Instead, do a lot of solo drinking, read a lot of books, have sex in dirty hostels, and come home when you start to miss it.

Let go of a friendship.

Let the grudge go.

Like yourself.

Make a habit of cleaning up and letting go.

Make a habit of going outside, enjoying the light, relearning your friends, forgetting the internet.

Make a habit of telling people how you feel, whether it means writing a gushing fan-girl email to someone whose work you love or telling your boss why you deserve a raise.

Make a list of 10 restaurants you really want to try out, and go to all of them. Once you’ve completed it, do 10 more.

Make a special savings pot that isn’t for “the future”, but for something you really, really want.

Make new friends

Make peace with your parents.

Make sure you know how to do basic household things like change a lightbulb, clean the toilet, and put a wash on without ruining anything.

Make time for myself

Minimize your passivity

Organise a monthly dinner with your friends you don’t see all the time, so you don’t fall out of touch.

Participate in a 30-day challenge

Participate in a no spend month

Practice being charitable.

Purchase something expensive but awesome

Quit that job that’s making you miserable, end the relationship that makes you act like a lunatic, lose the friend whose sole purpose in life is making you feel like you’re perpetually on the verge of vomiting. You’re young, you’re resilient, there are other jobs and relationships and friends if you’re patient and open.

Recognize freedom as a 5:30 a.m. Trip to the diner with a bunch of strangers you’ve just met.

Save 6k in my emergency fund

Save for your retirement.

Send more snail mail

Spend the whole weekend partying.

Start a relationship with your crush by telling them that you want them.

Suck it up and buy a MacBook Pro.

Take advantage of health insurance while you have it.

Take better care of my skin

Take something that’s always interested you and really teach yourself about it.

Take that recommendation your friend has been trying to give you for years now. You know the one.

Take time to revisit the places that made you who you are: the apartment you grew up in, your middle school, your hometown.

Take your family out for dinner, and make it a surprise.

Think you know yourself until you meet someone better than you.

Travel solo, and love it

Travel to a new place

Travel to another continent

Wander and explore your own backyard

Watch 100 of the IMDB top 250 movies of all time.

Watch the most beautiful sunset ever

Work a service job to gain some understanding of how tipping works, how to keep your cool around assholes, how a few kind words can change someone’s day.

Work on keeping my apartment neater

Work to improve my photography skills
