21 Things to do before turning 21

1. Finish high school/get your GED.

2. Learn to read. Yes you can graduate and not know how to read. If you don't know a word, look it up.

3. Forget everything about high school. Those cool kids at the cool table don't matter years from now. Only 1 or 2 will make it to be someone you see on TV if your lucky.

4. Always use a condom. No one wants to be a parent before 21.

5. Have fun.

6. Just because you don't have PE any more don't stop playing sports/working out.

7. Your parents are going to get on your nerves. It happens.

8. Explore the world, women/men. Don't just sit at your mom/dad/parents house.

9. Get some bills, while you have disposable income staying at your parents/living for free. You'll learn how to budget.

10. Relationships are for old people. Settle to early you'll miss out on the good stuff. Date tho, don't be a loner.

11. You're not independent, if you're living with your parents.

12. Learn to listen. Take in as much as you can now. By the time you turn 24 your brain begins to harden and learning is tough.

13. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Learn to research things so you don't look dumb.

14. Establish a good foundation of friends. There's nothing better than you and a bunch of people you hung out with sharing old stories.

15. Don't text, tweet, Facebook, FaceTime, or anything and drive. Nothing is that important that you should take your eyes off the road.

16. Get some good cleaning habits. Learn how keep a place tidy. We know you just left your parents house since your drawls are on the floor.

17. Go to a lot of different kinds of concerts. All of them rock, pop, rap, trap... What ever ALL OF THEM.

18. Get some culture in your life. Go to a museum. Art gallery. Farmers market. You'll never know what's great until you try it.
19. Respect goes a long way. You never know who may offer you a job.

20. You're too young to be depressed. You have the rest of your life for regrets.

21. Time management. Always know what you're going to do. Nothing worst than being late to a job interview.
