30 by 30

As I quickly approach the ripe ol’ age of 30, I thought I’d put together a list of things to accomplish by my thirtieth birthday. I lot of people would most likely go with something adventurous, like skydiving. Not me. I go for more tame accomplishments like, watching every movie that has made the “best” list. Or the best according to the Oscars.

I may add or remove things as I go, since my taste are likely to change by then. But I will try my very best to keep it as I originally started it. So here’s my list:

1. Live (6mos+) in another state
2. Get my passport
3. Travel abroad
4. Ask out a crush/guy I find attractive
5. Watch the best 100 movies
6. Go horseback riding
7. Attend a professional sporting event
8. Sing in public
9. Get in shape (Lose 30 pounds)
10. Have a career I love
11. Eat at a restaurant alone without a book or laptop
12. Pay down debt/student loans
13. Go on a blind date
14. Try skiing
15. Go camping (in a tent!)
16. Prepare at least 20 full meals out of my numerous cookbooks
17. Have a signature dish
18. Learn to sew
19. Start a small vegetable garden (off my balcony)
20. Learn a foreign language (this time make it stick i.e.. 4yrs high school Spanish and 2yrs college Spanish and still can’t speak Spanish)
21. Get a massage/manicure/pedicure
22. See a Broadway play
23. Take a road trip by myself
24. Buy an extremely expensive pair of shoes or handbag
25. Ride on a motorcycle, well at least the back of one
26. Host a dinner party
27. Find out my blood type
