Community Being in your twenties is hard. Okay, maybe not hard, but different. There’s a certain transition in motion where now you’re considered an adult (i.e. you make money and pay bills), but still feel like a kid (i.e. you make money and spend it on this or this or this). Keeping your life in order can be tricky – enter StumbleUpon Lists to help organize my online life. Sometimes the best insight to this stage of life comes from your peers and various web pages by the Internet gurus. I’ve compiled some of my favorite Stumbles including solid advice, dating tips and every 24-year-old’s personal anthem to guide me through my twenties in the list Things for My Twenty-Something Self.

Bizarre Websites On Which You Can Kill Time With Style This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die | Design for Good You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be). However, the product designer Gerard Moline has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition. His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer. I, personally, would much rather leave behind a tree than a tombstone. Related Content If You Liked the 'Bios Urn,' You'll Love 'The Spirit Tree' Daniel Honan Managing Editor, Big Think
