25 Things to do While 25

Sunday, September 5, 2010

Besides the list of things I completed while 24, this year has been a busy one for me. In the past twelve months, I have visited San Francisco, Seattle, Lava Hot Springs and Yellowstone. I have grown a garden and gotten paid to perform improv theatre. I have gone white water rafting, written a letter to a famous person (and got a response), read books, and passed statistics. I have gotten into the social work program and survived the first semester, performed in a Shakespearan play and gone ice fishing. I have refinished a piece of furniture, joined a gym, been in a room filled with candles, learned about essential oils and read books.

I feel accomplished. I feel good about myself. I feel ready to be 25.

  1. You inspire me.

    And intrigue me. "Canoe with a parcel"? What does this mean, I wonder...

  2. Yeah, "parasol" makes much more sense. =)

    Also, a warning...after that month of eating vegan, if you decide to go back to an omnivorous diet, be sure to EASE back into it. Beckah spent an entire day of her New York City trip vomiting because she was vegetarian who binged on meat because she was in New York. It was not good.
