It’s a new decade, a new chapter in my life. And although it’s so weird to be leaving my 20s, I’m feeling pretty good about entering my 30s. So many people dread turning 30 and believe that all of a sudden you’re “old” once you hit this milestone. But in the grand scheme of life, 30 is still so young! There are sooo many things I still hope to do in my life. Which is why I’m continuing my annual tradition and sharing 30 things to do while I’m 30.
