It seems completely impossible to me that, in the summer of 2018, I will turn twenty years old. Most days, I still feel like I'm twelve years old going to my first concert. Or sixteen years old, just getting my driver's license. I don't even realize how fast time is moving along, and I've come up with a way to document the year.
With the upcoming discarding of my teenager status, I have decided to come up with twenty things I want to accomplish before the big 2-0. Some of these things I have accomplished in this year already, but some, I still need to work on, and I only have nine months to complete the list. I'm sharing the list to keep myself accountable in hopes to share the finished product in August.
The list is:
1. Visit five museums
2. Watch the sunrise
3. Go on a road trip with friends
4. Cook a complicated meal
5. Film a video for my YouTube
6. Try an exotic food
7. Visit a National Park
8. Learn how to tie a bow-tie
9. Visit 2 friends at their colleges
10. Travel to a new state
11. Completely unplug for 24 hours
12. Read 5 Books
13. Buy Starbucks for someone in line behind me
14. Sing karaoke
15. Go to a professional sporting event
16. Learn to play guitar
17. Finish a Netflix series
18. Study my family history
19. Keep a New Year’s resolution
20. Hike a mountain
These are things that I have never done because I either never made time or never thought I could accomplish it, so I never tried. Some of these a things I've promised to do like visiting friends at college that I want to make sure I get done.
Making this list I realize none of these actions will really matter down the road, but what will matter is all the amazing memories that come with doing them that I'm so very excited for.
