I’m really in my 30s now! That’s wild. On January 20th, I turned 31. When I started doing these annual posts at 22 (!!!) I wasn’t sure if I would keep doing them, especially after 30 (check out last year’s post). But, here I am. Although I’m very much into adulthood, I still feel so young and I still have *so much* I want to do. Shoot, I might be doing this same blog post at 50! I’ve always had the mindset of making the absolute most of life while I’m blessed enough to still be here. And I feel like making these lists of goals helps keep me motivated and gives me some fun things to look forward to! I have yet to completely finish an entire list lol — maybe this will be the year?
*I will highlight the things I complete.*
Here are 31 things I want to do while I’m 31:
