30 before 30

30 before 30

In about 30 days I’ll be 30 years old. Weird. Kerry did a 40 before 40 list on the blog once, but she gave herself 4 years to do it. I’m giving myself a month to do these things.

Lists like these sort of freak me out. Sometimes you see some and I feel people treat them like bucket lists. “I have to do these things before I turn 30 because otherwise I’ll never be able to do them again!” I think that’s sort of a bad way to look at it. For me, and I think Kerry feels this way too, it’s just a good way to remind yourself to do stuff. As much as I don’t like it, I sit on the couch more than I should. So here’s a list of some stuff I’m going to do in the next 30 days. And I’ll probably keep doing most of them after the next 30 days too. Keep on keepin’ on.

I put them in alphabetical order because there is no real order. But it makes me happy that the first one ended up being what it is.
