Once you're in a committed relationship you have to share, whatever that means.

AKA a lazy mess.

3. Make a list of classic books you've always wanted to read and actually read them.

And yes, the Harry Potter books count as "classics."

4. Train for something super physical.

Doing something like Tough Mudder or a fun 5K will whip you into shape and make you feel awesome about yourself.

And we don't mean the kind where you study.

6. Go backpacking.

Go out and see the world! Experience it how the locals do, no fancy chain hotels for you.

7. Go to weird festivals and meet some weird people.

Events like Burning Man are once-in-a-lifetime chances! Make sure to experience them before your everyday "work, dinner, Netflix" routine begins.

8. Play video games for hours on end.

Mmmm, mind-numbing fun.

9. Eat ice cream and Cheetos for dinner.

Maybe not overnight, but someday you’re going to have to eat a well-balanced meal like the rest of your family. BORING.

10. Follow your favorite band around the country.

Phish fan? Dead head? It's a good reason to travel and a great way to meet people all over!

11. Go on dates just for fun.

While you're young, take the time to meet new people and figure out what you like before settling down with someone. It doesn't have to be serious, just fun!

12. Work at your dream job for awhile.

Always dreamed of being a director? An actor? A chef? Now's the time to put 100% of yourself into your passion.

13. Treat yo' self!

Live for yourself and be a little selfish. Spend a little extra money on comics this month, buy that fancy kind of mustard you love, or carry around a fancy handbag. It's all about you now, take advantage!
