How do I make the most memories in my 20s?

r/

I’m 20 and go to a very small college. I am social, have a good group of friends, and go out on the weekends, but I feel like I’m lacking crazy wild stories everyone seems to have from their college days. I’m sure it’s played up by social media to some degree, but even my dad, who was a total nerd in college, has some awesome memories. I want to make an effort going forward to have very cool experiences to tell my kids about someday. I’ll be living in nyc this summer for an internship, how can I make it a memorable summer? How can I make the most memories going forward?

    Get a girl pregnant. That is definitely something you’ll always remember.

    Making the memories is easy, keeping them as you get older, not so much.
    Focus on living your life rather than the memories you’re making, and the memories will come all on their own

    Stop trying to be cool and try having fun. No one likes a try hard. And in NYC? You dont need to be looking, it will def find you.

    Don’t think about it… just go out and enjoy what happens. The good stories will happen

    From what I’ve heard, from my pops and dad. Just let life take you man, it’ll guide you where you need to go. Traveling opens up awesome memories! Heck I’m enlisting soon, gonna travel the world. We live on a planet with 8BILLION people, that’s 8Billion life stories. You’ll get the one you’re looking for :). Hope you enjoy your summer! And don’t be afraid to talk!! Safe travels friend.

    Ok. I’m 21, I feel like I’ve done enough in my 20s already. Almost too much. Here’s a bucket list to consider:

    • Try acid (don’t mix with anything)
    • Get extremely drunk at least 20 different times with 4+ people
    • do 5g’s of shrooms in one go, like, 3 different times
    • smoke weed, spend a whole month being a lazy piece of sh** on the stuff
    • work 5 different jobs
    • date 10 different people
    • do a crazy hairstyle
    • get a tattoo, any size, any where
    • fall in love with a music artist and go see them perform live
    • pick the thing you love most in life, and don’t. EVER. give up on it. unless you decide you love something else more. be actionable towards the thing you love. do something towards it every day, whatever it is. No one will ever love it the same way you do. You are truly unique. But hone it. A craft deserves to be perfected

    Who cares. My advice would be live your life how you want to now before life bogs you down

    I had finished my apprenticeship and became a sole trader, and then had a kid by the time I was 21…I absolutely regret not that I didn’t do much wild stuff, but that I didn’t live my life how I truly wanted before I had to grow up

    Just enjoy loaffing off and going to college and going out with your friends every weekend. Go on trips or holidays away if you can, and go to lots of different events while you still have the time and energy

    Don’t think about it too much. 20s are just another decade unless you’re rich and …. well rich.

    Do a variety of things. The brain seems to smush together memories of similar things.
