I realized something today. Something wild! In less than a month, I'm going to be 25. It may sound silly but it's the first time saying my age has ever felt like a substantially large number. I like it though, it has character with a little pinch of time seasoned wisdom and a dash of still-so-young. So to celebrate I decided to make out a list of goals I want to reach before hitting the big three-oh. But, I need your help! I'm aiming for 30 things to do before hitting 30 (I could always handle more though!) and I'm just a few items short.
- Get into grad school
- Travel overseas again (preferably Germany)
- Receive my UCF diploma in the mail (only THEN will it be real)
- Be in one of my best friends weddings
- Skydive
- Survive my first full northern winter
- Learn to swim (and not just practice the art of not drowning)
- See the northern lights
- Go to (at least) one more Fun. concert
- Get engaged
- Have a basic understanding of a foreign language
- Stargaze from the middle of the desert (any desert will work)
- See a waterfall
- Be in a flash mob
- Participate in a fundraising walk
- Go Tailgating
- See the fall leaves changing colors
- Visit Seattle, New Orleans, and Boston
- Learn to tie a cherry stem with my tounge
- Learn to paddle board
- Try hot house yoga
- Volunteer at a museum
- Pay off my car
- Swim with dolphins
- Open some sort of investment account or buy my own stocks
- See a Frida Kahlo painting in real life
- Take and frame a polaroid photo shoot with Nick
- Take a tour and do a wine tasting at an American winery
So if you're my age, what do you want to do before your 30th birthday? If you're past that mark, anything you never did and wish you had?

if you divide #18 into 3 you will have your 30. Just a thought - although a bit of a cop out I think.
Flash mob! I want to do that as well. Also invest in stocks.
Have you tried sailing on a tall ship?? It's amazing! Also dive with sharks is on my list... It's a lifetime fear I want to overcome.
I just turned 23 at the end of last month and have been intending to make a list similar to this one for a while now. Thanks for giving me an extra push to do so. You've got some great things on yours!
Also, Happy (early) Birthday!
30 is still very far away for me, as I just turned 20 in the spring.
I did, however, pariticpate in a flashmob, and it was awesome:) I hope you get to do one too!
I also really love #26.
P.S. Yes, I adore Audrey Kawasaki! Hadn't seen her new work yet, so thank you very much for the tip:D It's gorgeous!
K 14 is sweet! I wanna be in a flash mob. I have 10 more years before I'm 30 but pretty much this list + 98776 more things I need to do haha :)
Lovely Little Rants

25 was a weird age to turn! I really want to try hot yoga as well, I've heard really good things about it.
