If you're like me, sometimes you need a push to get shit done. Turning 30 seems as good a reason as any to focus, make some memories and usher in the next decade of my life. The goal is simple: achieve 30 pre-selected goals prior to my 31st birthday. In theory and in paper, it appears simple. 365 days to complete just 30 tasks. In reality the list should stop at 29, because goal number 30 is to complete the damn list! But I'm a task oriented person, so I think I've got a pretty good shot. Who knows maybe I'll finish early and have to add more goals. #overachiever #notlikely
My goals are unique and my seem a bit odd to others. But here's the thing--for the love of God do not go on the internet and google "30 things to do before I'm 30." Those lists are all shit (no offense to the people who wrote them) because they all assume we are the same and should experience the same things. Forget that. You are you and you should chase/do the things that excite you. So that's why you're not going to find bungee jumping, sky diving or learning a new language on my list. Sorry (not sorry) they don't do it for me. Instead, this is what you'll find on my list:
1. Cook 30 recipes out of one cookbook
2. Finish a story
3. Take a picture everyday
4. Run a marathon
5. Go to Red River Gorge
6. Go to the Sunflower Festival at Gorman Farms
7. Attend Oscar Weekend at AMC Theaters
8. Read a magazine every day for 30 days
9. Go to COSI
10. Eat at Milktooth
11. Subscribe to New Hobby Box
12. Start investing
13. Complete the Butler County Donut Trail
14. Bike the entire Little Miami Bike Trial
15. Read at least one book per month
16. Participate in Paddle Fest
17. Go to All Ohio Balloon Festival
18. Do stand up paddle boarding
19. Go on a road trip somewhere new
20. Visit Mega Cavern and go zip lining
21. Take an archery lesson
22. Donate $30 to a new charity every month
23. Play a round of golf
24. Listen to all Grammy Winning Albums from the past 30 years
25. Watch all Golden Globe Winning Films from the past 30 years
26. Go paint balling
27. Do a triathlon
28. Go leaf peeping in Brown County
29. Take a surfing lesson
30.
Thanks for tagging along for the ride. I appreciate any support or suggestions for new experiences you all have!
