In two days I turn 28.
28.
Not 22.
But 28.
That means I have two more years until I’m 30.
NBD. Right?
Wrong!
Thirty is NOT the new twenty.
Your twenties matter.
But instead of spiraling into yet another quarter-life crisis, I made a list of 30 things I want to do within the next couple of years, to make the most of what’s left of my twenties!
My 30 before 30…
1. Finish enough of the VT brewery tour to send in for a prize
2. Get a second tattoo
3. Decide if I really want my tragus pierced or not
4. Go back to school (Masters in Journalism maybe?)
5. Run a 5K with friends (A fun one)
6. Plan a Twenty Something Plus event
7. Learn Photoshop
8. Visit Europe again
9. NYE in NYC
10. Shop at the Birchbox store in Soho
11. Find work in Social Media
12. Attend NYFW
13. Hit up the Sprinkles ATM
14. Create a Twenty Something Plus photo challenge
15. Watch fireworks on Niagara Falls
16. Undergo a Twenty Something Plus redesign
17. Be a model for something
18. Go Rollerskating with my sisters
19. Collaborate on something major
20. Fancy restaurant dinner date with the Manfriend (So, not Buffalo Wild Wings, sorry Andrew)
21. Present at Alt Summit (I would be happy just to go again, but I figure dream big!)
22. Invest in a quality large mirror (and then take a #selfie)
23. Move to the city
24. Update my wardrobe to match my style (Read: PURGE)
25. Go to a blow out bar
26. Go on a cruise
27. Down size (See number 24)
28. Get a photo feature in a magazine
29. Write a book (Or write an article that goes to print)
30. Seriously consider freelance
The 22 parody 32 is much more fitting, but sometimes the internet doesn’t like to share…
What’s on your “to do” list?
Update your list every five years to see how your priorities change.
Great advice! I’ll have to make sure to remember to do this!
Omgosh I’m 24 and I am already starting to think “What the heck have I done with my life”. I really want to travel overseas at least once before I’m 30.
