Twenty things to do before you grow up (the feel better list)

This is not a list for responsible people. This is not a bucket list for the ambitious. This is not the typical list you make on your 21st bday/ new year/ after watching motivational movies/ when you enter college/ when you finish college/ after a birth/ after a death/ any important milestone in your life. This is the differently successful (no we'll not say it) list. Because, after all if you are gonna make mistakes (if they are mistakes), it might as well be now. And in the immortal words of Calvin's dad, "It builds character". Again this is not a list for responsible people. This is the loser's (There, said it) list.
  1. Break a hand/leg/assorted body part or grossly disfigure yourself a day before an important social event.
  2. Lose your wallet/handbag with your house keys, car keys, credit cards and/or passport in it.
  3. Break your cellphone and/or drop it in a large body of water.
  4. Get dumped. 
  5. Have a one night stand with a guy you've never met before and whose last name you dont know.
  6. Get trashed. Totally. Strip off your clothes and dance on the table.
  7. Grow your own weed. Brew your own beer. Create your poison.
  8. Accidentally set fire to your apartment.
  9. Get a traffic ticket.
  10. Lose your job for facebook-ing from work.
  11. Fight with your best friend over a guy who doesnt deserve you.
  12. Get an F. Screw up your GPA. Lose your fellowship.
  13. Yell at your family. Walk out of home. And come back again.
  14. Empty your checkings account in one day of shopping.
  15. Stand up or get stood up by your date.
  16. Fall for an online scam.
  17. Lose a month's salary or more in Vegas.
  18. Study all night for a test and then sleep through it.
  19. Get suspended for getting into a fight.
  20. Write an ugly mail to someone you once loved.
Doubtless there are several more. And doubtless I shall discover them soon and write a blog about them. If I've missed more, leave a comment and the list can continue over there.

21) Spend a night in jail.
22) Get lost while travelling and end up in a town 500 miles in the opposite direction.
23) An extension of point 19. Try to get some bruises from the fight.

3. Well, it wasn't a large body of water. It was reasonably small. It looked ugly and smelled like fecal matter. But then again, I was only there to pee.

Shit happens. Literally also.
