30 Things To Do In Your 30’s

Well, it’s official! As of yesterday, I’m 30 years old, and ready to take this brand new decade right by the horns. I am excited to turn over a new leaf, as they say, in my 30’s and hope to make lots of really big memories and experience some spontaneous milestones, too. Although there’s absolutely no telling what I’ll ultimately get up to as a 30-something, here’s a list of a few of the things I hope to make happen before I turn 40. Who’s with me?!

1. Travel to Europe
2. Establish a good workout routine
3. Continue my vegetarian diet
4. Go back to school for something
5. Throw more real parties (as opposed to faux ones for the blog)
6. Take a cruise
7. Learn French over again
8. Make new friends
9. Take more walks
10. Take a pottery class
11. Come up with THE BIG IDEA
12. Take horseback riding lessons again
13. Learn how to sew
