Next week I turn 27. I’m actually kind of excited because I’m not a huge fan of the number 26. 27 just brings me that much closer to 30 though and that scares me to death. 30 still seems so old, I mean it’s only 3 years away but 30 just says time to move to a house in the suburbs, have a baby and buy a minivan, and I’m not ready to do any of those things. Not by the time I’m 30 and maybe even never. So before I reach what I consider middle age, I’ve made a list. Things I want to do before I’m 30. I thought it was much larger but I figure I will continue adding onto it. Please keep in mind, some of these are extremely odd, but they’ll make me happy so in the end that’s all that matters :)
1. Figure out how to solve a Rubik’s cube
2. Learn how to play pool
3. Drive a Smart Car
4. Visit Hawaii
5. Vacation alone
6. Learn how to play poker
7. Spend all day in a used bookstore
8. See the desert
9. Visit Las Vegas
10. Finish the Outlander series
11. Graduate
12. Learn how to like and appreciate a good wine
13. Give up Diet Coke for more than a week
14. Overcome my phone phobia
15. Move to New Orleans
16. Reach and maintain my goal weight
17. Wear a bikini again (this kind of goes with 16)
18. Stop worrying about what other people think all the time
19. Go on another cruise
20. Master how to do a smokey eye that doesn’t make me look cheap
21. Meet an author and get a book signed
22. Possibly (big emphasis on the word possibly) learn how to use and shoot a gun (more on this in another post)
23. Go to NYC
If you should think of anything I should add let me know, I’m open to suggestions! I hope to be a more educated, well rounded, and well traveled individual by the time I reach 30. Now if I can only figure out how to line up more than 1 row of the same color blocks on my Rubik’s cube I’ll be well on my way.
