Some people make a list of things they want to do before they turn 30. And I’ve never found anything wrong with it. I actually still don’t. But as I rapidly landslide into my next decade, it wasn’t something I thought was worth doing. It’s just not my thing. Besides, I have done A LOT in those 30 years already. So, today, my list of 30 things I did before I turned 30 (in no particular order).
1 Traveled overseas—Rome, Ireland & London
2 Swam in the Pacific Ocean (and the Atlantic too)
3 Had surgery—knee & eyes
4 Lived in 4 states—PA, AL, OK, MA
5 Got married
6 Bought a house
7 Started a craft business
8 Went on a road trip (OK→GA in 1.5 days)
9 Had a perm
10 Adopted/rescued/took in a cat
11 Earned an MS
12 Spent the summer as a camp counselor
13 Got a job teaching at a college
14 Did a kegstand (unrelated to #13)
15 Filmed a few commercials

16 Danced in a movie
17 Cheered at a National Bowl Game
18 Worked at daily newspaper
19 Ran a 5K
20 Seen a few Broadway Shows
21 Marched in a parade
22 Lived by myself
23 Became a godmother
24 Danced in a liturgical dance company
25 Was a mascot (Go Cougars!)
26 Hiked Diamond Head (twice)
27 Swam a “polar bear dip”
28 Touched Vanilla Ice’s hand
29 Skipped prom
30 Planned a surprise party
So what’s next? It’s anybody’s guess really.
I’ve got a few things up my sleeve, but the surprises are what makes this whole thing fun.
I love this post. Can’t wait to celebrate 30 with you in May!!!
Thanks, Brig! So excited!
I love this. I did make a 30 Before 30 list and sadly will not accomplish all of it but I sure have done a bunch of great stuff that wasn’t on the list!
Happy Birthday lady!
Thanks, Elise! I don’t think you need to get it all done. Having lists of goals & accomplishments is fun regardless!
