30 Things to Do Before 30 (I've done the things in bold)
- Take classes in an unfamiliar dance form (salsa, hip hop, classical, pole dancing...)
- Date someone more than 10 years your senior
- Take a spontaneous weekend trip (preferably somewhere "crazy" like Mexico or Vegas)
- Have visited at least 3 continents
- Fire a gun
- Volunteer somewhere other than the city in which you live
- Sleep in your car
- Post bail for a friend...or for yourself
- Buy something materialistic and unnecessary that costs as much as your rent
- Quit a job
- Buy a stock
- Have a credit card
- Get a loan
- Stay in a job long enough and do well enough to earn a promotion
- Gamble
- Hike or climb or bike or kayak for at least one day
- Read at least a 5 major works of literature
- Spend a day on a boat
- Visit our nation's capital
- Exercise your right to vote
- Try an illicit substance
- Attend religious services for at least two faiths other than your own
- Learn enough of a foreign language to try to use it (preferably in that culture)
- Drive a convertible
- Create something (a song, poem, picture, sculpture, play, story, movie...)
- Cook - or attempt to cook - a four course meal
- Arrange your weekend schedule around a hangover you plan to have
- Live alone
- Have a one night stand
- Make a list like this one - and start checking things off!
Most of the unbolded things I haven't done, I really have no interest in doing (Nos. 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 29) so here's a list of things I have done/think everyone should do before they turn 30.
- Have your heart broken.
- Fall deeply in love.
- Move across the country.
- Save a significant amout of money (even $1,000).
- Have a pet.
- See a quality live production (straight theater or musical).
- Fight a fear (public speaking, heights, swimming, whatever)
What do you think?
I just watched the Bucket List last night with my wife. Very similar idea. I hope you get to check off more along the way.
