To Do List Before Becoming Thirty!

The other day I was thinking about how old I was and for a minute I forgot how old I was. I had to ask Tyler how old he was since I know he’s three months older than me. He looked at me like I was stupid for asking and told me we both were 24. I swear… no one ever asks me how old I am anymore. We’re not in high school anymore. We have online profiles that shares our age and almost every blog has a “about me” section. No one ever asks, “ASL” anymore (Age, Sex, Location).

Four months after I turn 24 it just really hit me that I’m twenty-four and will be 25 this year. So I’ve come up with a list that I would like to do before I turn thirty.

1. Lose all the weight I need to lose!
2. Have children
3. Have a decent amount of $$ in our retirement savings
4. Go to Turtle Island or Bora Bora
5. Drive a race car
6. Work for a magazine company
7. Run a full marathon
8. Win the lottery!!
9. Complete my childhood & wedding scrapbooks
10. Become debt-free!
11. Learn to surf
12. Go sailing
13. Learn how to use the sewing machine
14. Learn to love cooking (other than desserts)
15. Walk the Golden Gate Bridge
16. Save someone’s life
17. Take a trip up in a hot air balloon
18. A full body massage at a luxury resort
19. Stay a loyal Apple customer & buy more Apple products!
20. Buy a house
21. Buy another car (only have 1 right now)
22. Plant an orange tree in my backyard
23. Be exactly who and what I want to be and not have a midlife crisis, kthx!
24. Go through all my things and super-organize everything!
25. Donate all the clothes I have to Goodwill then buy a whole new wardrobe
26. Take vitamins every morning without forgetting!
27. Be a morning person without dragging myself out of bed
28. Plan yearly vacation/reunion trips with friends
29. Have the experience of being a stay-at-home Mom
30. “Flip my house” and sell it for more!

Now share yours!

    What a great list! Mine? Go to and complete law school, get a masters degree in foreign policy, have 2 kids (definitely want to be a young mom!), surprise my parents with a trip to Australia, go to London with my sister, figure out what I want to be when I grow up!

    That’s a good idea! I’m not yet 23 so I think I’ll hold off on making my list.

    Win the Lottery? Really? good luck with that!

    Oh wow,great list you have there. Makes me think of what I’d like to accomplish before I turn 30 too. So, have you started making your scrapbooks already? I’ve made tons of scrapbooks, it usually takes me a few months to finish one. That takes a lot of work, but it’s fun. =)

    Hi! I just found your blog via 20sb bloggers – it’s great! I love the idea of making a goal list like this…I’ll have to think about doing it. Right now my sole goal in life is to make it out of law school unscathed and figure out what to do with my life :)

    Wow, what a great idea! I have thought of a ton of things I would like to do before I turn 30, but never put it in list form. It’s scary to think I am almost 26 and still feel like im 21.

    P.S. I found you on 20sb, your blog is really cute.
