30 things to do before 30
I have less than three years until I turn 30. (My 30th birthday is on June 5, 2017.) Jeeze. Where the heck did my twenties go? I feel like just yesterday I was traveling through Spain and celebrating my 21st birthday on Mallorca. Time just flies. I've already accomplished and attained a lot of things I've wanted in my life. But there's always more out there to explore, dream and discover. No time like the present to accomplish all the things we continue to put off until tomorrow. Here's my list in no particular order:
- Run a 10K
- Write the first draft of a book
- Develop a regular meditation practice
- Go skydiving
- Go on a full-moon hike
- Hike Mt. Kilimanjaro
- Pay off my student loan debt
- Send 30 cards, letters, gifts to friends and family
- Take a cross-country road trip
- Unplug for a full day
- Host a dinner party
- Complete a 30 day challenge - write every day, take a picture every day, go vegetarian, etc.
- Try stand up paddleboarding
- Cook my way through an entire cookbook
- Go on a camping trip without my parents
- Buy a stranger their morning coffee
- Ride in a hot air balloon
- Attend a yoga retreat
- See a Broadway show
- Watch 30 classic films
- Take a self-defense class
- Go zip lining
- See the Grand Canyon
- Travel to Greece
- Visit a psychic
- Do a juice cleanse
- Create a morning routine
- Take a solo trip somewhere
- Get a proper desk
- Build something with Ruby on Rails
My list includes a lot of traveling and adventure, but, for the most part, I think these things are all fairly attainable. I'm not trying to put myself on a timeline. Instead, I'm giving myself a light shove in the direction of accomplishing things I continue to put off or am afraid to do. I look forward to crossing these off my list one by one. The countdown begins now!
