I have heard a lot about these kinds of lists, and I thought it would be great to put one together! In case you haven't heard about it, the gist of it is to compile a list of all the things you want to do/experience/accomplish before your 30th birthday. Some people do them right after they turn 20 and give themselves a decade (their lists usually have more difficult goals on them), but a lot of people do what I'm doing - they make their list the day after they turn 29 in an effort to make their last year as a 20-something more meaningful and productive.
Basically, I just want to make sure I don't turn 30 and say, gee, I wish I had done that in my 20's. So, without further ado...here is my list:
- Run a half-marathon
- Start a retirement account
- Get paid for photography (one photo, one session, whatever...)
- Sew an outfit I'd wear in public
- Take Nash to see the snow
- Bake and decorate a multi-layer ombre cake
- Capture a great "fireworks" photo
- Take part in a haunted house
- Go on a big family vacay
- Visit a foreign country (kind of a gimmee since my unit is going to Japan in Jan)
- Start a business
- Get paid to design something (biz cards, flyers, logos, invitations, whatever...)
- Take a real roadtrip somewhere new and random
- Can something I grow or make myself
- Try bikram yoga
- Begin composting
- Kick my sugar habit
- Set up and maintain a photo archive system
- Do a mud/fun run with a group of friends
- Go on an adults-only cruise
- Complete a 30-day photo challenge
- Buy a new house (near a playground)
- Master the perfect sourdough bread recipe
- Start a family tradition
- Perform a full pull-up unassisted (might be easy for some, but I've never been able to do it)
- Meet Giuliana Rancic and tour the E! Networks building (ok, this may be dreaming)
- Build Bubs a sand box from scratch (no plans, no kits)
- Donate 10 hours of time to either a kids' charity or an animal shelter
- Learn how to swim
- Have an awesome 30th birthday party
