30 Before 30

I am a list maker totally and completely. When I make New Year's Resolutions, it's not even the accomplishing that makes me happy - it's just the list making. I LOVE making new lists, even if they become obsolete in a matter of seconds. And so, I found this idea for "30 before 30" - starting at age 25, I've written 30 things I'd like to accomplish by age 30. Unlike most people's ambitious goals of seeing foreign countries or risking one's life in skydiving/bungee jumping/etc., mine are more "goals to help me become a more ME me" by age 30. Or at least...I hope so! Whether I will even accomplish a single goal on here is yet to be seen. But in the mean time, I just LOVE the process!
