Thirty Before I'm Thirty

Because why not.. It's the last year of my twenties and I want to go out feeling productive, even if some of the goals seem a little silly.

I already have my bucket list that I've been working on for quite some time (which I need to post again because it has been updated), but  my plan is to make this list of 30 things using that list as a reference so that I can start actually accomplishing some of these goals. 

I'm going to choose some that I really want to accomplish and having a year will push me to finally do it. Others I will choose because it will push me out of my comfort zone and I will actually have to push myself to get the goal done. 

It seems kind of silly to make a list of goals based off of a list of goals I already have, but I think having the shorter time line will help me finish these goals and maybe think of a few more things that I may want to do and can add to the longer bucket list. I think it's about time to see some more completed goals than goals left to do.

I've been told that my thirties are going to be great. I have no doubt about that! Most of my twenties were pretty damn awesome as well and I am looking forward to what is waiting for me! I just don't feel 29.. I guess that's a good thing though!

To be honest, I'm not really one to want the attention on my birthday. But this year, so far (and it's not even 8am) has been amazing. Hopefully a sign to a happy, healthy, positive, successful year!
