Things to do Before You Turn 21

Anybody that knows me can tell you I'm really big into list making. I make a list for absolutely everything...day to day to do lists, house cleaning lists, major project lists, things to do before I do. You name it I've probably got a list for it. I've decided to make a list of things to do before I turn 21. As of now I have about 8 months until my 21st birthday! Lets get started!!!!!

Things to Do Before You Turn 21

  1. Take a road trip...I've been wanting to do this since I saw crossroads in the 7th grade. I think its time I actually did it!
  2. Save $1,000...I've always wanted to save a good chunk of money unfortunately savings account seems to be thrown out of the vocab whenever I find something I want to do and have already run out of money.
  3. Buy a lottery ticket...a real one not one of the scratch offs. I've been meaning to do this since I turned 18. Maybe I'll be a millionaire....wish me luck!
