100 Things To Do Before Uni

Hi everyone, I'm a y12 student and I want to become more independent. I feel like I lack a lot of basic social skills since I've focussed so much on school the past few years so can everyone give me recommendations on things I should do before uni!

Edit - this has sort of changed to not just a before uni list (although it is mainly to help me become more independent) but a list of experiences/things I just want to do in life.

Here are my starting points

1.

✅Have a part time job

2.

✅Volunteer regularly

3.

Learn how to cook (at least 10 meals confidently)

4.

Learn how to drive

5.

Go abroad/on a plane for first time

6.

Go on public transport on my own

7.

Go to a festival

8.

✅Volunteer for a charity

9.

Climb a mountain

10.

Sit around a campfire with friends

11.

Swimming in wild water

12.

Go kayaking

Just for fun, I have lots of friends who have gone to some before so I’m thinking of trying one. It’ll also take me a bit out of my comfort zone but I want to challenge myself a bit this year to hopefully grow as a person. The other things are more important to me though since they are actually useful 😂
