A little over a month ago I turned 29.
I don’t even feel like I’m 29. Somedays I feel like I’m 19 still and other days I feel like I’m 59.
But having the reality hit that I’m going to be 30 in less than a year has made me realize that there’s a lot of things I haven’t done yet in my life and well, the clock is ticking.
To help me cope with this reality of aging and becoming less of a spring chicken, I decided to come up with a list of things that I want to do before I turn 30.
Now before I show you my list of things I wrote down. I wanted to let you know that at the end of the list is a FREE printable that you can use to make your own Thirty Before Thirty list.
I also wanted to let you know that I thought about putting things down like get a house, have another kid, visit a European country, but I realized that they might not be feasible. I decided to make a list of things I knew that I could feasibly do before my birthday in December. You might make a different list and be able to get a house or visit Paris though! And if so, that’s awesome and I hope you get to do it!
