Hello hello! I was getting myself prepared for the new year and I was getting my New Years resolutions together. Then I realized something… what if I did something a bit different this year.
I saw this thing… it was called 30 Before 30 on another blog, Carly the Prepster’s to be exact. Now she did this as a bucket list to complete for the last year in her 20’s. I too am in my last year of my 20’s so I thought this would be fun and turn my 30 before 30 into a mix of New Years Resolutions & bucket list all compiled into one list.
So obviously I am going to try and complete them before my 30th birthday (which is in exactly 6 months) but some of them will also be long term as they are more lifestyle goals. Anyways, check them out below!
#1 Travel to a New Country
I can cross this one off the list! I was on a cruise over the New Year and went to Belize for the first time! It was absolutely beautiful and we all had a wonderful time!
#2 Go to a Concert
I have been to a few concerts but I would like to go to another here soon. I just have the bug to go!
#3 Take a Dance Class
I used to dance when I was younger but it has also been a dream to take a more sophisticated dance class.
#4 Go on a Road Trip
I went on a mini road trip with some friends a couple years ago but I have wanted to do it again since! Maybe this year I will get to go again!
#5 Read 5 “Classic” Books
With moving around so much in high school, I missed out in reading some of the “classics” in English class. My goal is to read at least 5 that I missed out on.
$6 Take a Cooking Class
I have taken a cooking class before but I would like to do something new or maybe a baking class.
#7 Perfect my “Signature Dish”
I have my “signature dish” for dessert but I haven’t perfected anything yet for lunch or dinner. I would like to try and master something that is mine.
#8 Update & Clean Out My Wardrobe
Every year I update my wardrobe with the KonMari Method. I haven’t been able to do it yet this year but I would like to. And to top it all off, Marie Kondo has a new show out on Netflix! Maybe I will binge-watch & clean at the same time!
#9 Work Out for 30 Days Straight
This is a big personal goal of mine. I would like to get back to working out on a regular basis but I just haven’t been motivated enough to do so. So this year I have made a promise to myself to do something for 30 days straight.
#10 Start a Vlog Channel
I would like to start video-ing more but I haven’t figure out what I wanted to video yet! Any ideas?
#11 Start a Podcast
I feel the same as recording a podcast as I do with vlogging. Hopefully I will get some ideas soon!
#12 Volunteer at a Charity (or hospital)
I would like to give back my time and energy somewhere, I am just trying to find the perfect location for myself.
#13 Start my Own Charity
Well this is self explanatory and it is a big one but it is important to have goals.
#14 Sponsor My Own Scholarship at My Alma Mater
One of my biggest goal was to sponsor a scholarship at my alma mater. I was on a scholarship at school and I would like to give back and give the opportunity I got to another golfer.
#15 Take More Photos
I love looking back on pictures and I am a sucker for a framed photo so I am making a promise to myself to take more photos this year.
#16 Read More – 52 Books in a Year (24 by 6/12)
I love reading but recently I haven’t been making enough time for it. I am giving myself this goal so I can hold myself accountable to read more.
#17 Watch 10 Classic Films
Well this is self explanatory.
#18 Travel to a New State
I have been to over half the states in the US but I would like to make it a goal to visit every state in the US. So I have a goal to visit a new state before my 30th birthday.
#19 Go Hiking
I used to go hiking all the time in college and truly miss going out and breathing in that fresh air.
#20 Meet With a Financial Advisor
Because everyone needs to start preparing for anything that you may encounter.
#21 Host a Dinner Party
Of course I need another excuse to be with my lovely friends.
#22 Play in a Golf Tournament
I have taken some time off from playing and I would like to get back playing more.
#23 Have a Movie Day with Friends
Because move days are amazing and I feel the need to watch Harry Potter again.
#24 Become Fluent in Spanish
I used to take Spanish classes all through school but I would like to become more fluent. I downloaded a couple apps to help make it easier and I am going to focus more each day on learning more.
#25 Nurture My Relationships
Life can get a bit busy but I would like to nurture the relationships I have with family and friends.
#26 Become More Physically Flexible
I have never been very flexible but I would like to be able to have more flexibility – maybe be able to take a yoga class without pain.
#27 Optimize Facial Routine
I have almost picked out all of my favorite beauty products but there are still a couple that I am missing.
#28 Go on a Shopping Spree
Well who wouldn’t want to go on a shipping spree.
#29 No Evidence of Disease – Remain Cancer Free
This year I will be completely 4 years of being cancer free!
#30 Have an Epic 30th Birthday Party
Because… well duh!
Well I hoped that this inspired you to make your own 30 Before 30 list as a way of New Years resolutions! I still can’t believe that I am turning 30 this year. I may be turning 30 but I sure don’t feel like I am. For more tips like this one, check out my Lifestyle page!
