Four months ago I turned 30 but I’ve deciced that I have until the day before I turn 31 to see how much of this list I can tick off. My original post had a few things ticked off and I was pretty excited to see how many more I had managed to tick off since (without even realising it). There a couple where I have adjusted due to change of interest or physical restrictions (no. 12, 24) but there are others where I intentionally didn’t divulge the entire truth when I was thinking about them (no. 20, 21).
