My list of 30 things to do before I turn 30

4/14/22

I made a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30. It was on our way home from our family trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (2021) that I decided I wanted to make this list. So, to google I went searching for what others had on their lists. I was pleased to see that I could check off a good amount of items on lists that other people had created. Life is too short, and I found that if I don't make a list and prioritize, I won't get any of them done. I think that's why I like the pressure of an age/time limit so that I push myself to plan it, and go do it. I of course also have a pages long bucket list with other things I would like to do, but when selecting my 30 I chose things that could be done within budget and time frame. I am 28 and have just under 2 years to complete all 30 things. I have already completed 5 since I created my list and will be adding a new entry each time I check one off the list. I don't have the greatest memory so I am creating this blog for me to keep track of my stories and memories from each experience. If you'd like to follow along and see what I am up to, awesome. OR if you'd like to join me on any of these activities LET. ME. KNOW :) As you can see number 30 is still TBD. If anyone has a suggestion please reach out, I would love to hear it!

Well I didn't want the fun to be over... I didn't complete all 30 before I turned 30. I still had 9 left. I am adding another and will make the list 31 things before I turn 31. Doesn't have the same ring to it, but just because I'm 30 doesn't mean I can't still do fun things!!
