Last week I celebrated my 28th birthday.
I love birthdays! I also love goals and lists and trying new things. And I have decided to combine them all into one gigantic deliciously epic proverbial ball of awesomeness:
Here is a meticulously-compiled list of things in no specific order that I strive to accomplish before I turn thirty years old (henceforth known as the "30 Before 30" List).
- Make a short film and submit it to the Milwaukee Film Festival (and other festivals)
- Visit a country in Europe (at this point, I'm so anxious to go, I'm not picky!)
- Ride in a hot air balloon
- Do one pull-up with good form
- Take a burlesque class
- Go tornado chasing
- Eat at Alinea in Chicago
- See every film on the AFI Top 100 Movies List (now 123 films with the anniversary edition)
- Open a Roth IRA
- Drink yak butter tea
- Read the entire Harry Potter series and then see all of the films
- Help build a house with Habitat for Humanity
- Learn the "Thriller" Dance
- Learn to drive stick shift
- Make cheese
- Reach my weight goal of wearing my lucky number as a clothing size (size 6)
- Visit an observatory and look at the night sky through a telescope
- Take a road trip along Route 66
- Make a website for my film and video works
- Finish reading the entire Bible
- Unplug completely for one week: no television/phone/internet (also, try no TV for one month)
- Master a specific cocktail (maybe one that starts on fire!)
- Completely give up using paper towels
- Start my own business
- Learn to play "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age on my guitar
- Do the splits
- Receive a handwritten love letter
- Buy a Holga camera
- Get a henna tattoo
- Learn to sew
Alinea is on my list too!!!
