This list is a work in progress. It all started in 2012, when I was 22. Inspired by a friend, I didn't want my twenties to pass me by only to realize I had wasted a decade. So, my original 30 x 30 was created. As shown below.
As I creep closer to my 30th birthday (in 2020) I realize this may not all be possible. I also realize what was important to me at 22 may not be important to me at 30. So, I'm cutting myself some slack, in advance.
I don't ever want to feel like life has slipped past me. And I can promise I'm busy making sure that it doesn't.
Do you have your own 30 before 30? Share the link in the comments, I'd love to see what's on your list!

These are awesome . . . and I'm sensing you like to get nakey! Ha! I went swimming naked with friends in the ocean from a nude beach in St. Maarten last year! It was very liberating but best done outside of the country! And it's pretty impressive you only have 2 states left at your young age! Rock on! I've visited Jack Daniel's but want to hit up the rest of them . . . and I hate Bourbon! Thanks for checking out my blog . . . I couldn't reply back via email - just fyi! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow I have only done four of these- 10, 19, 21, 27... but I missed the 30 mark, I am 33. :) I still haven't even paid off my student loans but I will VERY soon. So excited for that day! I feel like I should throw a party to celebrate that one or something!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So true that our goals change a lot in our twenties....I'll also be 30 in 2020! Ooh, attending the olympics would be so cool :) I would love to do that someday, too, although it might have to be later in my life when I (hopefully) have more money for traveling..haha. Also, congrats on getting your student loans paid. That's huge!!
