21 before 21

The past week was so good. I went home for Easter Break so it was like a second Spring Break. I ate way too much candy and food in general. But it was nice to be home and be with family. And my family met my sister’s boyfriend for the first time (we all approve).  Being home also made me start thinking about the future. I mean as close as three weeks and as far away as three years! I’ll be done with my freshmen year(!) in three weeks so I’m starting to pack up my room. As for the three years part, I’m just excited about all of it. So I made a list of 21 things I want to do before my 21^st birthday. It’s the same concept as 101 in 1001, I just don’t think I can think of 101 things or accomplish them in 1001 days. So here’s my 21 before 21 list!

21 Before 21

1.       Go to a Frat party- just to say I’ve been.

2.    Go to a midnight premiere.

3.   Kiss at midnight on New Year’s.

4.   Ride on the Eye of London.

5.    Spend the whole day in a library or bookstore reading.

6.    Make a meal for my friends or family or both.

7.    Treat myself to a date night.

8.    Try a new restaurant every weekend.

9.    Give a 100% tip.

10.  Start a blog.

11.     Run another 5K or a 10K.

12.  Learn how to work Photoshop or Photoshop like product.

13.  Get a tattoo.

14. Learn how to cook at least 5 different meals.

15.  Learn to crochet-to relax.

16.  Finish Cloud Atlas, Anna Karenina and East of Eden. (I like big booksJ)

17.   Learn to surf.

18.  Meet Josh Dumal. (Since I live in Minot and he’s from here…)

19.   Go skinny-dipping.

20.                 Have my makeup professionally done. (Either for a special event or just because.)

21.  Ask a guy to go on a date. (I think this is really empowering!)

As you can see, I've crossed some things off already (like starting this blog!). I'll be crossing off #13 on May 2nd. Wish me luck! Oh, and happy Earth Week!
