21 things to do before your 21st
Every birthday is something special for us and for those that love us. Every year we celebrate with anecdotes all the years that has passed, funny moments, what we had accomplished and whats yet to come but there are some birthdays that are more than special it marks more than a new beginning. In hispanic families we have our 15th birthday which is called a “Quinceañera” which marks the moment when a girl enters womanhood, in the United States is common to celebrate the 16th birthday with a big party, then we have the 18th birthday which dictates that you can now do about half of a lot of stuff legally and then the other half when you turn 21. But what things do you consider you should do once you turn 21?
- If you have the opportunity to do so you should travel at least once: to Europe or cruise ship and Disney is a must you can’t properly close this chapter of your life without visiting a Disney them park.
- Go on a date at least once I’m not saying to get married
- Go on an adventure with your friends maybe a road trip, sleepover at the beach go on a weekend getaway you name it will make a great memory.
- Snorkeling is a must at some point of your life, believe me to see what’s above us its invaluable and one of the most magical experiences.
- Have a Spa Day, chance is you are either stressed out with college or your job or both go detox, have a relaxing day turn off your phone and get ready come out new from there
- Have fun with your hair, donate your long locks for a good cause, paint your hair gray as you always wanted. Take advantage now that you don’t have a job that limits you
- Have an out of your comfort zone night go out dancing with your closest friends to a club where you are allowed to go to and dance the night away
- Have experience working nothing better than having your own money plus gaining real world experience and the opportunity to network wether is a part-time job or summer job.
