Volunteer for a cause you love

Think about the topics that you've had strong opinions about. It can be anything in the world, from animal welfare to cancer research to humanitarian relief. Once you've identified one or more research organizations that are dedicated to these causes, sign up to be a volunteer. It's one of the most gratifying experiences, and there's always a cause that could use support.

Conquer a fear

Every human has a fear, whether it's of heights or spiders. No matter how big or how small yours is, make it a mission to conquer that fear once and for all. You can consult with a professional who deals with phobias or try to face it yourself. Don't let anything hold you back from exciting moments that come your way.

Plan a Golden Birthday party

A Golden Birthday is when you turn the age of the day you were born. For example, turning 25 on the 25th of the month. Even if yours has passed, it's likely you know someone whose hasn't. Offer to plan the party, because, after all, Golden Birthdays don't exist past 31!

Take a road trip with your girlfriends

Do you want to travel across the country or just head to a music festival in another city? Gather your crew to pick a destination, hop in a dependable car, and head out. It's not about where you're going; it's about getting to your happy place with the people you love and enjoying the ride.

Join a fitness community

When your body is in good shape, the possibilities are endless. You can fit into fun new clothes, you have more stamina to take on challenges, and you feel motivated to try anything. Become a member of a sports team or workout group and work toward a common fitness goal. Leaning on others for motivation and learning how to encourage others is a skill you can take with you anywhere.

Make a family recipe

Every family has that one recipe that's been treasured and handed down for generations. Find out what that recipe is in your own family and try to replicate it. The experience will be even more special if you do it with someone who's mastered it before.

Visit a city you've never been to
