31 Things To Do While I’m 31

UPDATE: I completed 17 out of 31 things on this list, so about half! Not bad, but I could do better lol. All of my major goals went really well, like getting a new apartment, road tripping, and working on my finances. But, I think the area I could improve the most on next year is content creation and entrepreneurship. Check out 32 Things To Do While I’m 32 — let’s do this!

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.*
