25 things to do while 25

🌼👯‍♀️💃🏻🥂🍾🍰 Since I did this list last year of things to do while 24, I’m doing it again this year. 🙂 Am I starting a tradition? I’m not sure. I only know that I choose fun and easy things for these lists because it’s no fun making a list of goals that feel like a chore. Like I’ve said before, I’m definitely that person who writes “eat breakfast” or “wake up” on my to do list just so I can check another thing off haha. 😛

Last year’s was so delightful it was actually a bit challenging for me to think of different things to do for this year. In the end, I think the list came out a bit tame because I wanted it to be achievable, which is why I didn’t include sky-diving. (Paragliding might be fun though. I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe I’ll add it.)

Really though, I’m just happy to be alive and in good health, surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family. 🙂 I’m pretty stoked about my bday weekend plans (it’s going to be a great time in the mountains with me and my girrrls), and I really can’t think of any other way I’d rather celebrate. I feel so thankful for everyone who’s in my life and for those who get to celebrate with me! (Excuse me for getting a bit sappy, but I like bdays!) Yay to turning a quarter of a century! 🎇🎆
