24 Things Everyone Should Do Before Turning 24
New blog post! This month, I turn 24 years old...and while I don’t have a ton of free time to reflect on what that means (hello grad school, two jobs and one thesis to be completed!), I wanted to spend some time thinking about how year 23 treated me. And considering how popular my post on 22 things to do before you’re 22 turned out to be, I thought it was about time for a repeat.
So whether you’re about to turn 24 as well or you just want some inspiration for things you can do to positively impact your own life, here are 24 things to do before you turn 24.
1. Go thrifting and buy at least one piece of clothing that’s in a style, color, etc. you’ve never dared or thought to try before. 
Read more of my thoughts on body image and thrifting here...
2. Learn something new about your family history, or your own childhood. 
And it doesn’t have to be earth-shattering either. You might just spend one night chatting to your mom or dad about their childhood and learn a funny story about how they really got that scar under their chin.
3. Master at least one recipe you feel comfortable cooking for others. 
Might I recommend some of mine to start with?
4. Try out strength training. 
Weight lifting may not be for everyone, but research shows that it offers plenty of benefits...and while I was self-conscious when I first started hitting the weight room, I love how strong I feel now that I’m a few years into lifting.
5. Write a letter to your family, friends (or role models of choice), telling them what you’d want them to know if the world ended tomorrow. 
Sounds sappy...and it may be. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea!
6. Say “yes” to something that (safely!) scares the crud out of you. 
Like, for me this year, working three jobs...staying in Minnesota for the summer...saying “yes” to a long-distance relationship.
7. Reach out to a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, and catch up...even if it’s only a short phone call or a few texts. 
8. Try a yoga class - one as hard or easy as you want! 
Read more about my experience with hot yoga and what I've learned from yoga here.
9. Go to therapy, if you have the opportunity. 
If you’re still in college or grad school like me, you may receive a certain amount of free therapy appointments per semester with your school’s Counseling Center. And if you do have free resources available...use them. You may be surprised at what you learn - even if it’s just that it’s normal for you to be overwhelmed with everything on your plate, or that it feels realllly good to have someone objective yet caring listen to you talk.
10. Spend at least one day completely alone...and experiment with learning what being happy while alone looks like for you. 
11. Enjoy a staycation. 
Don’t worry about traveling somewhere exciting or new! Stay at home and treat yourself however you want - whether it’s by eating out or trying new recipes, watching Netflix or spending the whole day unplugged.
12. Get real about your budget and learn what you actually value spending money on...and what you’re OK saying “no” to.
In my case, I know that food is something I really enjoy and would be willing to splurge on more than other things (like going to the movies). Learn how I save money grocery shopping and eat gluten free for only $35 a week here.
13. Read a “classic” book you’ve always heard about but never tried. 
Some of my favorites from this exercise are 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale.
14.  Go dancing in a club or fun spot downtown. 
You don’t have to stay until the club closes or even drink. (I didn’t do either!). But staying up way past my bedtime to dance to super loud music with friends in Minneapolis is one of my fave memories from grad school.
15. Go through your social media profiles and stop following accounts that don’t add something good to your life, whatever that might be. 
16. Get involved with your community in some way. 
It could be volunteering at the local library or making friends with people at the gym you go to. But I know from personal experience that giving back to others’ comes with plenty of personal benefits.
17. Forget that you’re an adult for at least an hour each week.
How? By dancing in your pj’s to your favorite songs, eating ice cream for dinner, sleeping as late as you want or doing whatever else makes your childish heart happy.
18. Forgive someone who you think truly deserves a second chance. 
19. Go on a hike with a good friend (of an acquaintance you want to get to know better) and really talk as you walk. 
20. Find at least one self-care practice you can rely on when things get tough. 
And if you need ideas...find plenty here and here.
21. Stay sober at a party where most people are drinking. 
Trust me - it’ll be a very interesting experience, and you may learn more about how much alcohol you really prefer to enjoy while socializing.
22. Work a job not directly related to your future career goals.
If you haven’t worked as a grocery cashier or a salesclerk by this age...consider yourself lucky. However, working as a produce stocker for a local grocery store while I'm going to grad school has taught me a lot about staying motivated and grateful and shown me the benefits of being able to leave work at the office (errr...grocery store). Plus, it's helped me build a better mental picture of what I do and don't want from a long-term job.
23. Go roller skating - outdoors or in an old-fashioned roller skating rink. 
24. Make a list of five things you’re grateful for and five ways you’ve grown during the last year. 
'Cause...why not end your birthday on a positive note?!? 
My Biggest Takeaways From Year 23
And while I’ve done a good job of checking every box off on this list at age 23...it seems only fitting to end this post (and start my 24th year) by answering point 24. Age 23 and my second (and very start of my third) year of grad school has honestly been a roller coaster. I’ve felt overwhelmed and broken-hearted and angry and uncertain...but I’ve also felt extremely proud and, at moments, more comfortable in my own skin than I have been in ages.
So when I think back to this last year, I’m grateful that I survived the Polar Vortex of 2018 (and am reallllly hoping 2019's winter won’t be as bad) and traveled safely through at least two blizzards. I’m thankful for the college friends that I can still reach out to when I’m feeling low, and to have parents I can always call for advice or comfort. And I’m grateful for good health, even though I have ups and downs with my body and we certainly don’t always get along. As for how I’ve grown...the list could seriously add some major words to my thesis! But to narrow it down to five, I’d say I’ve grown:
In no longer being afraid to show my funny side when I'm teaching English 101...even if it can sometimes be a real challenge to get my students to laugh at 10 AM.
As a graduate student. So. Much. I ended my first year with maybe one drafted essay and the worry that I’d never crack my code for creative writing. I’m starting my third year with 60,000 words (around 240 double-spaced pages) of material already written for my thesis. 
In knowing that I can juggle going to school full time, three jobs, a blog, and a minimal social life...though that workload isn't ideal, so I've also grown to realize that less is more in many ways.
In the gym! I'm very proud to say that I can now bench press and do a lat pulldown with 50 pounds...which isn't huge to some people but is huge for me.
In my fears of uncertainty (more on that below).
I know I still have so much to learn. After all, I’m hopefully still less than a fourth of a way through this crazy life of mine. But I’m slowly learning more about who I am, and how my chronic illnesses fit into my identity. And while I still have soooo many questions about this world and who I am and what is going to happen next for me...I’m getting a little better at accepting the uncertainty and leaning into the unknown.
So on that note...I’m going to enjoy the only known part of turning 24 so far: eating some yummy gluten free dessert! And I’m excited to see where I - and this blog - go in this next year. What's one thing you think everyone should do this year? Tell me in the comments! via Blogger https://ift.tt/34vVb7U

Spiritale Chapter 39
1,524 words
                           Chapter 39: Back and Forth conversation
30 minutes of shopping….
“Like it was was fun hanging out with you human”, Catty said with a bag full of clothes and accessories.
“Yes…we should hang out again sometime,…if that’s okay with you”, Bratty asked also holding  a bag of clothes and accessories.
“Yea, you look sooo cute in those Napstabot T-shirts~!”, Catty complemented.
“Hahah…thank you”, Chara thanked patting their cheek.
“Bratty let’s go home, put these clothes on, then go to the dance club~!”, Bratty said.
Bratty nod and they both walk off. Chara was starting to crave something sweet, you suggest going back to the Lounge because they sell something sweet. You just wonder what’s the opposite of a Starfait?
“Can I have a Starshake please?”, Chara asked putting their money on the table.
That answers your question. You look at the menu….oh my gosh, everything on the menu looks soooo delicious. A Starshake, a Hip-hop Burger, Legendary Guardian Panini, and….*long and slow gasp* Napstabot shaped…Pancakes…ooooohh you realllly wanna eat soome.
“Here you go kid”, Hoodie said handing Chara a Starshake.
“If you don’t mind me asking, why is your name hoodie?”, Chara asked before taking a sip of the shake.
“It’sss…short for…Hoodnini…”, Hoodie said looking away with an upset look.
“Oooh, what a neat name”
“You think so”, Hoodie asked calmly shocked and looking back at Chara.
“Yea! It’s unique, one-of-kind, and pretty cool”, Chara said listing with their fingers, “How did ya get the name?”
“It’s a pretty long story”, Hoodie said resting his arm on the counter and rubbing his neck with an embarrassed look.
“Hey Hoodnini, can we get some Napstabot Pancakes?”, a monster asked beside Chara.
“Hoodnini one Starshake please”, another monster said behind Chara.
“We’ll…talk about it later okay?”
“Sure”, Chara said moving out the way and out the Lounge.
“Hey Chara, follow me”, you said walking out the Fun Center.
You guided Chara to the alleyway by the Fun Center where number 1 and 2 are, you wonder how they’ll act with your Catty and Bratty’s personalities. You both see them quietly nodding happily to some music on the radio, then number 1 saw Chara.
“Babe, babe look!”, Number 1 said extremely excited shaking Number 2’s shoulder, “It’s a customer!”
“*Long gasp* You’re right!”
They scrambled to their shop counter dusting it off and organizing anything that could be on it and then stepped behind it telling Chara to look. Written on these cards says the name of the item: Candy Bag, Cowboy Hat, A Gun (unloaded), and a key you know belongs to Napstabot. In your mind, you can’t help but think this pretty handy made paper bag of candy is leftover candy from almost empty bags of candy left in from the dump….eek! You quickly advise Chara not to buy that one. They bought the hat though, good thing it wasn’t dirty. This not only made Number 1 and 2 happy, but they started to tear up when Chara bought their hat.
“Why are you crying?”, Chara asked concerned still holding the hat.
“It’s just…you’re our first customer whose bought something from us”, Number 2 said wiping his tears away.
“Yea, we like never get anybody!”, Number 1 said crying some more.
“There, there”, Number 2 said comforting Number 1.
“I don’t think having a store next to the Fun Center is a good idea”, Chara suggested.
“Yea we know”, Number 1 said wiping away their tears, “But we like, have this dream of owning a store of our own!”
“So we tried setting up a store here…to know how it feels”, Number 2 said looking down and rubbing their hand.  
“And we liked the feeling, so we kept at it”, Number 1 said.
“Awww”, You and Chara said.
“But…there was one time someone did show up here”, Number 2 said bringing their head up.
“Who?”, Number 1 questioned.
“Don’t you remember babe?”, Number 2 asked looking at Number 1, “It was that bunny fellow, the one who gave us the delicious panini”
“Oh yeeaaa, he was like suuuper nice doing that”, Number 1 said happily.
“Hoodini?”, Chara questioned.
“Yea!”, Number 1 and 2 said looking at Chara, “Do you know him?!”, they both asked happily.
Chara nods their head.
“Omg! Can you like…”
“Tell him we are very thankful for what he did?”, Number 2 said finishing Number 1’s sentence.
“Sure…uuum, what are your name’s?”, Chara asked walking off, putting the hat on, then stopping.
“I’m Sole”, Number 1 said pointing to themselves with their thumb cheerfully.
“And I’m Deuce”, Number 2 said placing their hand on their chest with a polite smile.
“Okay thank you”, Chara said jogging off.
Moments later in the Lounge…
“What, you talked to those two?”, Hoodie asked surprised.
“Mmm hmm”, Chara said nodding, “They said they’re thankful for what you did for them”
“R-really?”, Hoodie said calmly surprised, “…well…this…makes my suspension pretty okay I guess”, he said rubbing his neck with a bashful like smile.
“Suspension?”
“Oh right…I didn’t tell you about that didn’t I?”
Chara shook their head, Hoodini kindly told them before customers showed. He was a dj hired by Nastabot long ago for his dance club and he was a really good dj too, however, he met Sole and Deuce. They were hungry and were about to look through the dump because…Undyne wasn’t there for them the past few days. Hoodie took pity on them, so he snuck some legendary guardians in his hoodie. That explains the nickname. He got caught afterward and has been put on suspension for 2 YEARS?! Yikes!
“But it’s not so bad…I guess, It’s relaxing here and the customers aren’t a problem a lot of time. Plus I only have a few more months until my suspension is over”, Hoodie said with a relaxing smile resting his arms on the countertop, “Are they still doing the shop thing?”
“Yea, I bought this Cowboy Hat”, Chara said pointing the hat they wore.
“Huh…not half bad”, Hoodie complemented, “…If you don’t mind…could you tell them I’m…glad they’re okay, and…if they want a job I know the right place that gladly accepts new employees”
“Sure, I’ll be back”, Chara said jogging off.
Moments later in the alleyway…
“WHAT??!!”, Sole and Deuce shouted at the same time.
“Yea, what do you say?”, Chara asked smiling.
“I don’t know”, Sole said concerned, “I don’t wanna lose our shop”
“But on the other hand…we could use the money”, Deuce said with a thinking face and folded arms.
“Hmm…hhhow about…you save the money you’ve earned to open a new shop?”, Chara said shrugging”
“That sounds like…
“A GREAT IDEA!!!”, Sole shouted excitedly finishing Deuce’s sentence.
“We can use our experiences to know how the shop business works…
“And use the money to buy better material and build our shop!”, Sole said excitedly hopping and finishing Deuce’s sentence again.
They started going on and on about ideas and ways they can have their shop be made, it’s really inspiring. Chara didn’t bother interrupting their chat and listen with a smile on their face.
“TELL HIM WE SAY YES!!!”, Sole and Deuce said together.
“But, wait…where will we be working?”, Deuce asked raising his eye brows.
“Uuuuh, hold on”
Back in the Lounge…
“They wanna know where they’ll be working”, Chara said to Hoodie.
“At Nastabot’s music and clothes store”, Hoodie said with one arm resting on the countertop.
“Okay thanks”
Back in the alleyway…
“*LOOOOOOOONNGG GAASSSP* NASTABOT’S STORE???!!!”, Sole shouted extremely loud and excitedly jogging in place.
“Omg omg omg, we will TOTALLY work there!”, Deuce agreed happily.
“TELL HIM WE SAID YYYEEESSS!!!”  
“Oookay”
Back in the Lounge…
“That was quick”, Hoodie said seeing Chara walk into the restaurant again, “My guess is they said yes?”
Chara nods as an answer.
“Okay tell them show up tomorrow and they can get started”
“Yes, alright”
Back in the alleyway…
“WHAT, TOMORROW??!!”, Sole shouted surprised placing both their hands on their face.
“We need to get ready babe!”, Deuce said to Sole.
“Yea!”, Sole quickly agreed, “Thank you so ssoooo much cutie~!”, he thanked hugging Chara then running off.
“You’ve really helped us”, Deuce said hugging Chara, “Here take this key, you’ll use this better than we could. Bye”, he said handing Chara a key then running off.
Awwww, how sweet~! You tell Chara about the key, but surprisingly they already know. How…oh right…the reset. You can what was in his house, Chara says it was filled with old music, mix tapes and, audio dairies. Cool! *Ring ring*
“Hello?”
“Chara are you okay?”, You both heard Undyne asked.
“Oh I’m fine Undyne, sorry I didn’t message you back”
“That’s okay, just tell me when you’re going to the core and I’ll guide you through it”
Oh snap! You and Chara completely forgot about that! Chara quickly made their way to the core’s entrance, but not before telling Chara to get at least two starshakes.
