Miscellaneous
#3! YESSSSS!
Ha! I’m very excited for that one and am actually quite a good dancer, just never taken a class.
Now I really wish we lived closer together–I’d love to go dancing with you! Oh, we’d have so much fun.
Numbers 2, 4, 7, 10, 18, 25
11 I can possibly help with. I suggest either a succulent or herbs/veggies for the kitchen.
Thanks Alex! I’m sure you’ll be a part of many of them. I think for the growing I want to do something solely for aesthetics, there’s something exciting about beauty for beauty, plus my Rando app ended last week 🙁
Great list! I like that you have a good variety of spur-of-the-moment activities (like watching a sunrise and sunset) and things that require planning and forethought. What do you think you’ll get a tattoo of? Needles scare me so I could never get one…I don’t think I could even handle getting my ears pierced again!
I’ve got a quote that fits my personality perfectly 🙂 Or a Harry Potter symbol…
Those sound like great ideas! Would a Harry Potter symbol be like a lightening bolt or something? If you are going to get something permanent it might as well be something awesome. 🙂
Yeah. I’d either get the Deathly Hallows, the lightning bolt or the stars from the chapter headings.
I’m all late in the game, sorry! What would the quote be?
Now that’s a secret 😉
Hi there! Long time no chat 🙂
I hope all is well. Just wanted to pop over and say hello and that I think your list is great! I have another year to go before 30, but I really like this idea!!
Thanks! You might want to start your list significantly earlier than mine, fitting all this into 9 (almost 8 now) months is definitely going to be a struggle.
