25 Things To Do While I’m 25

Today is my birthday! Shout out to all of the other Capricorn Aquarius cusp babies out there! Every year I look forward to this post. It’s such a fun way to get excited about another year of life, memories, and experiences. Last year I did pretty good and I crossed off 17 things out of 24! Woo hoo!

This year, I want to try to cross off every single thing on this list. I had such an incredible time this past year and I’m so excited to see what my quarter-century year brings me! There are still a few things that I’ve had on my list for the last couple years and STILL haven’t done: get another tattoo, get a body massage, and do a paint and pour. So, this year, it’s happening! I also have a lot of goals that involve growing my blog and my YouTube channel.

Here are 25 things I want to do while I’m 25. Cheers to a new year!
