My 30 Before 30 List

Hello all!

As I enter my final few days in my 20s, I’m definitely so proud of all that I’ve accomplished this past decade and am looking forward to the next one!

I actually create this post earlier this year listing out all the different things I wanted to accomplish before turning 30. I have retroactively gone back and crossed out the things I managed to do, so I’m pretty proud of myself!

  1. Graduate from Grad School
  2. Secure a job – temporarily so I count this
  3. Update and organize my current apartment
  4. Read at least 50 books (I’ve been averaging about 40-50 the past few years so I’m excited to knock out some good books before starting my next decade!)
  5. Take a solo trip
  6. Travel somewhere new – South Africa, Puerto Rico, and the Czech Republic
  7. Take better care of my mental and physical health
  8. Immerse myself in DC’s cherry blossom season
  9. Go to the Folger Shakespeare Library performances – A Winter’s Tale, X, Metamorphoses
  10. Visit the Smithsonians in DC I haven’t yet – National Postal Museum and Anacostia Community Museum
  11. Do more Historical Tours around DC
  12. Go to Old Town Alexandria more often
  13. Renew driver’s license
  14. Try cooking new recipes
  15. Go to the movies more
  16. Do a graduation photoshoot
  17. Visit Nantucket again
  18. Get more creative with writing and drawing
  19. Watch at least 3 more documentaries/docuseries
