When I turned 24 I started a “25 Before 25” list as it seemed like a popular way to try to accomplish little goals (key word is started, I never wrote down a full 25 things). Fast forward to only having 111 days until my 25th birthday. That’s a little less than one-third of a year. And I want to accomplish 25 things.
They’re going to be more “decide where to live next year” and less “sky dive” (with a little “drink a whole bottle of whiskey” in between. Just kidding.)
Here’s my FEASIBLE list of 25 things to do before my 25th birthday at the end of December:
- Take just one more weekend vacation
- Learn the basics of calligraphy (just for fun)
- Put $XXXX back into savings (I know the figure)
- Do at least 2 photoshoots…and get paid for them
- Read 2 more books (on top of the one I’m currently reading…bonus points if one is a classic novel)
- Complete one online class (most likely use this curriculum to learn Python)
- See one show at Playhouse Square this year (Newsies…duh)
- Spend one weekend from Friday at 5pm to Monday when I get up for work withOUT my iPhone
- Go to the cinema to see a movie. Eat lots of candy and popcorn
- Rebuild my old laptop (with lots of help…)
- Fall/Winter clean my entire apartment and purge it of old clothes, appliances, etc.
- Spend quality time with each of my best friends, no matter the distance
- Special Project A (I’m not going to post it online but…yeah…I know what it is)
- Finally launch my second website
- Get my blog to a place I like it (move hosting, all that jazz)
- Decide where I’m going to live next year, accept it, look into movers, sign a lease (or renew mine)
- Find two new places to have brunch at
- Go on a photo adventure around Cleveland and shoot all the bridges in and around downtown
- Send an entire box of thank you cards
- Participate in NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo
- Make a full five-course dinner
- Lose 15 pounds
- Leave a 100% tip
- Marathon a (finished) TV series
- Go ice skating
