In My 30s

So, it looks like I didn't finish my 30 before 30 list.

However, I did get to accomplish a lot of things. I went vegetarian for a month. I applied for Big Brother (sadly I did not get on). I found a wine I like, I talked to my mom everyday and I wrote letters to people who matter to me. The biggest accomplishment from the list was I grew my hair out and donated it to Wigs for Kids!

Some big things in my life happened before I turned 30. After 12 years in Tallahassee, I left and moved back home. I spent 10 amazing seasons in Florida State's Sports Information Department, but it was time for something new. I'm now working in the crazy world of minor league baseball for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos while living with my amazing mom and sister (who graduates high school this year!). I also get to be closer to my brother and sister-in-law. I love it!

But, now it's time to make a new list. 39 things to do in my 30s. My next milestone is 40, and since it's far away, it gives me a chance to actually accomplish the items below. If you have any tips or want to be a part of any of the things on my list, just let me know!

Disclosure: Sure, there are things I want to do that aren't on the list, I want to get married, have kids, etc., but this is a list of things to do that I can control. As crazy as some of them sound, I can do them and I can control if I accomplish it or not.

  1. I ♡ this! Please learn Spanish! I want to fully learn it but need someone who I can converse with. You should listen to songs by Ryan Lewis/Macklemore. "Billionaire" is good: Idk who it's by though. It should be the first one on YouTube. Books: Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt and Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I highly recommend all Jane Austen books and all of the Anne of.... (Green Gables) series, which is actually quite long. The Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry series is a young series but impactful and highly recommended. It's a great way to read about/understand a different culture. I know it's not officially on the list, but you should totally check out Donnie Darko (movie); the vhs and dvd versions are different btw!
