When I started seeing bucket lists online and thinking about my own, I quickly realized that I had done a lot of things already. It seemed logical to me to start my goals with "making a list of 30 things you have accomplished before turning 30." (thanks to my friend for thinking of this idea) So here it goes...
1. Gone parasailing, jetskiing, waterskiing, and surfing (all one time things, but all fun)
2. Read the classic novels (One summer I decided to reread all of the books I read in high school)
3. Been in a commercial (I wanted to be on real tv or in a movie but I was in an internet commercial so I am counting it)
4. Got my name on a plaque (It is in my high schools courtyard. Check it out next time you are there)
5. Been in a parade (One year me and my dad tried to go to as many parades as we could in a year, then I volunteered as a balloon handler in the Thanksgiving parade)
6. Learned to drive a motorcycle (The day I graduated grad school I said "now what am I going to do?" and my parents said "something you enjoy" and that was that)
7. Played the piano (My roommate and I did this together as a New Years resolution one year)
8. Gotten my masters degree
9. Been to 18 states: California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan (Michigan was only for a few hours but it counts)
10. Been zip lining (and a belay)
11. Learned to be a barista (I hated the job but the skill is nice to have)
12. Climbed the steps up the Statue of Liberty
13. Been to the Brickyard (when I was in 4th grade)
14. Been to a World Series game (when the Phillies played the Blue Jays and it rained for the entire night)
15. Watched the sunrise over the ocean (yay East coast living)
16. Seen the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller center (with college friends)
17. Won a sandcastle contest (in Florida with my friend at the time)
18. Seen a Broadway show (I wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Next time maybe a musical)
19. Flown in a bi-plane (for Fathers Day 2 years ago)
20. Climbed a mountain (with my Uncle when we went to visit him in Nevada)
21. Run a 10K (It felt like torture at the time, but I was happy when I finished it)
22. Witnessed the change of a millennium (My great grandchildren will probably find this more exciting than any of you reading this now)
23. Rode a horse (Did not enjoy it. If the animal wants to go left and I want to go right, who has the power)
24. Seen a shooting star and found a four leaf clover (I can still remember exactly where it was in the field too)
25. Gone snorkeling (Don't worry, I didn't see anything dangerous)
26. Volunteered to help the less fortunate (every year at Christmas time and once for Habitat)
27. Seen a professional baseball, football, basketball and hockey game
28. Gotten slimed (ah, the joys of being a teacher)
29. Seen the Brady Bunch house (Its in California)
30. Been chosen as a volunteer in a Disney World show (I don't remember the name of it but I had to put on a huge jumpsuit and they dumped water on me as part of one of the shows. It was in a pretend boat at MGM)
And just for your curiosity, the things I have no desire to ever do...
Run a marathon (see #21 above)
Go on a cruise (Im claustrophobic and get sea sick, plus we have all seen Titanic)
Jump out of a plane (no thanks!)
There you have it! Goal accomplished: List 30 things you have done before turning 30--check! One down, 29 to go!
