On January 20th, I celebrated my 27th birthday! Although last year brought on many tough circumstances with COVID-19, national protests, a stressful election, and more, I still managed to have many great experiences. So, as I kickoff my 27th year, I’m actually feeling pretty optimistic. I don’t want one year to pass by where I’m not actively seeking out new experiences, setting goals, and living life to the fullest. And now that I’m in the last few years of my 20’s, I only want to aim higher!
For last year’s list, 26 Things To Do While I’m 26, I successfully completed 20! Hopefully, this will be the first year I accomplish every single thing on this list. Fingers crossed!
*I’ll bold & underline anything that I complete.
27 things I want to do this year:
1. Travel to at least three new places — check out my travel bucket list
