Before you get old and boring....

Ok, so... I've had a lot of solo driving time lately which means one thing.. Lots of time to think. Among this thinking time, I got to reminiscing about the last few years and how incredibly blessed I have been. And I realized something... I have been fortunate enough to do things that most people would never either do or even think about doing. So, without any more hesitation, here's 10 things I think every person should do before turning 25, in no particular order. (Why 25? I don't know. It just seems like things get boring and real world-ish after that.)

1) Go Skydiving.
It will be worth every penny and every ounce of fear that is squeezed out of you. I promise.
2) Take a (super) spontaneous road trip.
And by this, I mean like... Get in the car with a friend or two and start driving in one direction without any plan at all. Some of my best memories have come from one of these.
3) See your favorite band play outdoors in the pouring rain.
You need a little luck with this one... But if it happens, its INCREDIBLE.
4) Take someone to watch a meteor shower.
Find someone that has never been, find a dark road, and just do it.
5) Dress up like rock stars for a night.
If you look cool enough, and carry instruments... people (specifically pre-teens) will think you are the coolest band ever. (this is a wonderful confidence booster)
6) Make a music video.
If you have a computer with a camera on it, that's good enough. You'll be glad you have this later in life.
7) Attend a Hispanic wedding.
At least go to the reception. The salsa dancing gets pretty crazy.
8) Camp next to a waterfall.
This leads perfectly into my next point..
9) Swim out to an island in the middle of the night to camp.
This will be a memory that will last a lifetime. Especially if, instead of a boat, you use a blow-up queen size air mattress.
10) See Celine Dion in concert.
I'm not saying... I'm just saying.
