Great job. I definitely think 'quitting a job you hate' is an important one to have on the list. So many of my friends had jobs in their twenties that they absolutely detested and stuck with for far too long!
As for Europe- you have to do that one too. It's life changing. And? They serve wine in cartons!
Great list. I need to start one of my own. I've already got "quitting a job you hate" and I'm ready to cross off the intern thing.
That "buckets" line might be my favorite line ever from 30 Rock. Awesome.
Oh, by the way... As someone who has participated in (and completed!) NaNoWriMo, I can tell you that you'll kill two birds with one stone if you do it... that'll be the project you start that you'll want to quit. But it's SO WORTH IT to do it. And if you do, try to go to write-ins with other people. I know it sounds lame to just go type next to other people typing, but it's a great experience and there's a lot of synergy in the room. The day I went to one, I wrote over 6,000 words.
I need to do this list for my 30s (eeek!)
things I would include from your list
Buy a pair of boots from JCrew
become a mac person
learn to love running
finish a project I want to quit
quit a job I hate
(but that would be my current job!)
Such ambition! I can definitely help you with the "for real camping trip". Oh man, idea! We can go on a roommate and other great girls backpacking trip through the tetons. Tiff will need a break from Will soon enough.
In your 40s decade don't forget our cruise.
What a fantastic list! I love it. :) You have some great aspirations! I did my list last year and it is on the side of my blog so I don't forget it!
Great list. I have a lot of things that are the same. And then life comes, and things don't work out. But we can plan anyway.
Yes. Become a Mac person.
I love lists like this. Yours is a fantastic one. I think it's time for me to make a new one...
Oooo! I love these kinds of lists! It is the best feeling in the world to check them off, but at the same time it is wonderful when you come up with exciting new goals to accomplish too!
My list is 3 pages long and is titled "Things to do before I'm 80 years old" Hahaha...I haven't looked at it for a while so it will be fun to go back and see if I've accomplished any of them yet!
Have fun!
So it looks like we have some things to do!!!
I love these things to do before you die lists! I have made so many I don't know where the latest is. You have a lot of great ones! Definitely tour at least part of Europe! :)
