Twenty-one things to do before I turn 21. They seem pretty doable. I have a little over 6 months. Let's get crackin'.

1. Write a screenplay or make a short film, a la Campus Movie Fest

2. Build something from scratch. Right now my apartment needs a coffee table and an entertainment center. I think I'll start there.

3. Read Catcher in the Rye. Maybe it'll help me cope with that whole "not being a child anymore" thing? 

4. Lay in bed for an entire day. This means someone will need to bring me food. Volunteers appreciated.

5. Cook someone a three-course meal. Why? Because no one cooks a three-course meal for themselves. Duh.

6. Give an awesome presentation. I feel like I'll have a few opportunities next semester.

7. Be quoted and credited for it. Publicly.

8. Grow a beard. This one is currently in the works.

9. Have a professor address me by name and pronounce it correctly. Sadly enough, this has yet to happen after 5 semesters...

10. Rebuilt a burnt bridge. A metaphorical one. Although, if you know of a literal burnt bridge around, we can try to rebuild that, too.

11. Have a conversation in a foreign language. 

12. Laugh until I cry or until my chest hurts. I don't think I've laughed that hard since Orientation this summer.

13. Pull an all-nighter for non-academic purposes. 

14. Be complimented on my music taste/library. That's a really good feeling right there.

15. Teach somebody how to drive stick. I'm all talk when it comes to that.

16. Grow a fruit or vegetable. And then eat it. 

17. Stand up for somebody who I don't know.

18. Go see a movie alone. I always say that I could or that I would, but I haven't actually done it. 

19. Run a half marathon. Yikes. We'll see how that one turns out.

20. Participate or head up a flash mob. Probably my favorite on this list. And potentially the hardest.
