They say life gets better after 30, but there are also a bunch of things to do before turning 30, apparently.

It’s all pretty crazy to keep track of, but Business Insider has put together a comprehensive list of things you should’ve ticked off before you manage to break out of your 20s.

1. Run a half marathon (it’s okay if you have to walk a little).

2. Travel somewhere TRULY exotic — anywhere that feels like the end of the earth.

3. Buy tickets to a music festival and rage with the best of them.

4. Go skinny dipping.

5. Splurge on a once-in-a-lifetime meal at one of the world’s best restaurants.

6. Cook a huge meal and throw a dinner party for friends.

7. Test drive your dream car.

8. Grab the microphone and perform at a karaoke bar, even if you have stage fright.

9. Stay up all night partying in a big city like Los Angeles, Tokyo, or London.

10. Watch a meteor shower.

11. Go bungee jumping or skydiving.

12. Throw yourself a huge birthday party.

13. Climb a mountain.

14. Learn to bartend.

15. Go scuba diving — or at least try snorkeling.

16. Travel somewhere all by yourself. It’s not as scary as it sounds.

17. Eat something that makes you squirm (may we suggest bugs, pigs’ ears, or intestines?).

18. Learn to speak a new language.

19. Spend a night camping under the stars.

20. Join an intramural sports team, even if you’re not an athlete.

21. Splurge on an item that you technically can’t afford, but that will last for years.

22. Sign up to be a mentor, or spend some time volunteering.

23. Go whitewater rafting.

24. Apply for your dream job — there’s no better time to try.

25. Take a cross-country road trip.

26. Attend a major sports event, whether it’s the Superbowl, World Cup, or World Series.

27. Sign up for a summer share at a beach house, ski house, or lake house.

28. Take a class that’s totally out of your element, like improv, golf, or pottery-making.

29. Get lost in a foreign country. Sometimes, that’s the best part of the trip.

30. Unplug for a full day…or even a full week if you’re feeling zen.

Some physical goals, such as running a half-marathon and climbing a mountain, sound like a serious over-achievement, but there’s no denying the satisfaction you’d get from conquering Kilimanjaro or Everest.

“Learn to bartend” is also an interesting one, and this doesn’t mean poorly mixing your Coke and Vodka using a guesstimation of measurement. Learning the ins and out of bartending, and how to deal with different types of people would be a pretty colourful experience, to say the least.

However, one of the major themes present is doing something completely bizarre and out of your comfort zone.

Perhaps it’s time to take up ventriloquy?
