Turning 30

[ericadawn16]

Okay, I know I have 367 days to prepare for this, but I'm starting to get a little weirded out about turning thirty. Now, my friend came up with a sort of bucket list and I know they do that on all the TV shows so...

I'm trying to think of things that I haven't done but could easily do before turning thirty next year. Things that can be done in state and not too expensive, like:

1. See the Atlantic Ocean. I've been in the Gulf plenty of times, even seen the Mississippi, but the actual Atlantic seems very different. Also, I've never really been east of Orlando.

2. Finish writing a book.

3. Attend a fandom activity, like something done by Hurricane Who.

Any other ideas?

First off: Happy Birthday!

Things to do:
- climb a mountain (the Smokies are close to you and not a huge challenge.)
- go skydiving (that was my personal before-30 thing)
- learn the basics of another language - because the Earth is getting smaller all the time
- attend a protest (that used to be a 20s must)
- VOTE

Now, some words on turning 30 and beyond from someone who is WAY past that point: I dreaded that day and chose to not take the day off work so I could pretend it wasn't happening. I sat at my station and cried all day. Don't do that! Make it an occasion!

Looking back, if I was given the chance to re-live my 20s, I'd say "no way in hell!" because that is a time of coming into your own and making mistakes and being scared and lost. If I was given a chance to relive my 30s, I'd grab it in a heartbeat! Those are the best years. You're old enough to know what you want and be taken seriously and young enough to not be discriminated against and dismissed. The 30s really are the best decade ever! Look forward to them!
