When you’re young, growing up seems like the far-reaching event that takes too long to happen. The hubris of youth is thinking that we have all the time in the world to do the things we want, and facing the reality that time is short can be overwhelming. As our responsibilities increase, we owe it to ourselves to focus on making beautiful memories and planning to celebrate being alive no matter what age we are.
When the clock strikes on our 21st birthday, there will be expectations of adulthood knocking at our doors, but until then, we should do everything under the sun to appreciate our carefree youth. Here are 21 things you should do before your 21st birthday:
21. Go on a road trip with friends. 
20. Wear crazy colors in your hair.
19. Audition for a game show.
18. Find your perfect karaoke song.
17. Take a mental health day.
