I am about to be another year older tomorrow, and just thinking of the day makes me both happy and sad. Of course I am beyond ecstatic that I will be 24 tomorrow, a nice even number divisible by 2,3,4,6,8,12,24...but I am sad because I feel like I should have accomplished much more by now.. yes I have graduated from college which is pseudo-important to me, but there are many things that I still need to do or accomplish. So I've been racking my brain, and I've compiled a list of 60 things that I need to do by the time I'm 30 years old (6 years and one day from now) I need to have these completed.
