25 Things To Do Before You Turn 25 1. Make peace with your parents. Whether you finally recognize that they actually have your best interests in mind or you forgive them for being flawed human beings, you can’t happily enter adulthood with that familial brand of resentment. 2. Kiss someone you think is out of your league; kiss models and med students and entrepreneurs with part-time lives in Dubai and don’t worry about if they’re going to call you afterward. 3. Minimize your passivity. 4. Work a service job to gain some understanding of how tipping works, how to keep your cool around assholes, how a few kind words can change someone’s day. 5. Recognize freedom as a 5:30 a.m. trip to the diner with a bunch of strangers you’ve just met. 6. Try not to beat yourself up over having obtained a ‘useless’ Bachelor’s Degree. Debt is hell, and things didn’t pan out quite like you expected, but you did get to go to college, and having a degree isn’t the worst thing in the world to have. We will figure this mess out, I think, probably; the point is you’re not worth less just because there hasn’t been an immediate pay off for going to school. Be patient, work with what you have, and remember that a lot of us are in this together. 7. If you’re employed in any capacity, open a savings account. You never know when you might be unemployed or in desperate need of getting away for a few days. Even $10 a week is $520 more a year than you would’ve had otherwise. 8. Make a habit of going outside, enjoying the light, relearning your friends, forgetting the internet. 9. Go on a 4-day, brunch-fueled bender. 10. Start a relationship with your crush by telling them that you want them. Directly. Like, look them in the face and say it to them. Say, I want you. I want to be with you. 11. Learn to say ‘no’ — to yourself. Don’t keep wearing high heels if you hate them; don’t keep smoking if you’re disgusted by the way you smell the morning after; stop wasting entire days on your couch if you’re going to complain about missing the sun. 12. Take time to revisit the places that made you who you are: the apartment you grew up in, your middle school, your hometown. These places may or may not be here forever; you definitely won’t be. 13. Find a hobby that makes being alone feel lovely and empowering and like something to look forward to. 14. Think you know yourself until you meet someone better than you. 15. Forget who you are, what your priorities are, and how a person should be. 16. Identify your fears and instead of letting them dictate your every move, find and talk to people who have overcome them. Don’t settle for experiencing .000002% of what the world has to offer because you’re afraid of getting on a plane. 17. Make a habit of cleaning up and letting go. Just because it fit at one point doesn’t mean you need to keep it forever — whether ‘it’ is your favorite pair of pants or your ex. 18. Stop hating yourself. 19. Go out and watch that movie, read that book, listen to that band you already lied about watching, reading, listening to. 20. Take advantage of health insurance while you have it. 21. Make a habit of telling people how you feel, whether it means writing a gushing fan-girl email to someone whose work you love or telling your boss why you deserve a raise. 22. Date someone who says, “I love you” first. 23. Leave the country under the premise of “finding yourself.” This will be unsuccessful. Places do not change people. Instead, do a lot of solo drinking, read a lot of books, have sex in dirty hostels, and come home when you start to miss it. 24. Suck it up and buy a Macbook Pro. 25. Quit that job that’s making you miserable, end the relationship that makes you act like a lunatic, lose the friend whose sole purpose in life is making you feel like you’re perpetually on the verge of vomiting. You’re young, you’re resilient, there are other jobs and relationships and friends if you’re patient and open.

A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said ...they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Pass it on.
I have mixed emotions about this. Thoughts?
This is the only birthday/Christmas present I want this year! To see this movie!! :)
The Polaroid Z340 Instant Camera.
Like magic, the Z340 delivers instant prints like the Polaroids of yesteryear, but with an added bonus. It also shoots glorious 14 megapixel digital photos that you can save and edit!
For the Polaroid purist, set the camera to print your photo at the push of the shutter. If you feel like doing more, you can shoot, crop, experiment with color and borders, remove red-eye and print in less than a minute!
More affordable than instant film, Polaroid’s ZINK paper is smudge-proof, water and tear-resistant, and doesn’t need time to dry.
All of this and brains too! It’s compatible with your SD card, so you can upload custom borders and print photos shot on other digital cameras.
The Myans said the world was gonna end on December 21st 2012, maybe it means the end of God and religion...
In an ABC interview today, President Obama has officially endorsed the rights of same-sex couples to get married.
OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
OH MY GOD.
There’s already a Change.org petition against the passing of Amendment One, which banned same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships in North Carolina. These things actually tend to be pretty damn effective.
Let’s see what the power of Tumblr can do! I know there’s at least a million Tumblr users who are against this sort of harmful discrimination and bigotry.
Sign the petition and reblog to spread the word, please!
“The pressures on gay teens can be overwhelming—to keep secrets, tell lies, deny who you are, and try to be who you’re not. Remember: you are special and worth being cared about, loved, and accepted just as you are. Never, ever let anyone convince you otherwise.”

What an awesome down to earth person despite all the fame.
In Long Island, parents are planning to confront issues like bullying in schools by starting a gay PTA.
The Parent-Teacher Association is a well-established national school organization, but so far no chapter focuses on LGBT issues. The Long Island Gay PTA will be the only association in the country to focus on LGBT students’ needs and the needs of their families.
While the Long Island group will be the only PTA in the country dedicated to representing gay students, a similar association was founded in Seattle in 1999 but has since been disbanded, said James Martinez, a spokesman for the National PTA. The Long Island Gay PTA will be open to everyone, Kilmnick said. “You don’t have to be gay, you don’t have to have a child,” he said, adding that he hoped the PTA would benefit all students by making schools safer and more welcoming of diversity.
This is SUCH a great idea. Gay families are often not well represented in school systems, and this is a fabulous way to make sure as many voices as possible are represented in education. Bravo.
Go Long Island!! My hometown doing it right! :D
Researchers at UCLA have drawn on findings from 2009 to develop a genetically engineered stem cell that kills HIV in mice.
As it’s working on a living organism, the researchers believe it could be the beginning of an “aggressive approach” to attacking HIV cells in humans as well. More on how it works:
After implanting engineered stem cells into virus-affected mice, the researchers found the cells developed into a large population of “mature, multi-functional HIV-specific CD8 cells that could specifically target cells containing HIV proteins.” HIV may mutate slower in mice than humans, so researchers are working on ways to combat that difference.
Oooh, so cool. This is very, very exciting news.
Get into trouble, make mistakes, fight, love, live.

The only nine letter word in the english language where you can remove one letter at a time and still create a word.
As soon as you realize your nothing to everyone, you can start realizing you need to be everything to yourself.
