Saw this list a while back and found it interesting haha. (p.s. those points that are in bold are things that I guess that I have sort of accomplished and my own comments are in brackets below)

101 things to do before you settle down in your 20s.

1. Learning how to cook something besides ramen noodles and eggs.
(MY FAVOURITE NISSIN RAMEN. eh I baked cupcakes during chinese new year. And I can cook rice, although there's quite a high possibility that my rice will turn into porridge LOL.)

2. Discovering what “truffle salt” is, and the magic it creates.
(WHAT'S THIS MAGICAL THING?? ENLIGHTEN ME.)

(Not a good drinker here.)

6. Buying yourself a big pizza, eating as much of it as you want, and not feeling like you’re a bad person for it.
(SOBZ I want to do this but FATZZZZ.)

(thanks xiumei and other 4H girls for teaching me during chalet and Joseph for being such a great teacher during 5J chalet again haha!!)

8. Riding a bike in the city.
