TGG's 30 Before 30: UPDATE!
Monday, June 20, 2016So this post was actually going to be a Summer Bucket List of sorts in the style of Cupcakes and Cashmere (maybe let me know if you'd still like to see one of these?) but whilst rooting through the archives of the blog, I stumbled on my 30 Before 30 list that I made almost three long years ago, and I thought it might be fun to take a look at my progress and see how I'm muddling along! It IS my twenty-eighth birthday next month so, if nothing else, it might give me a kick up the arse to get on and have some adventures, right?
1. Learn how to make a (really good!) roast dinner. Yeah... About that one... I did assist/half-make an Easter roast dinner for a group of friends back in March which was pretty freaking delicious, if I say so myself, but I'm not sure this counts. I WILL NAIL THIS ONE.
2. Visit Italy, specifically Rome, and try REAL pizza and gelato.
3. Go on, or plan, at least one, life-changing 'big trip'.
5. Continue to learn to love myself. This one is just forever ongoing, right?
6. Learn Italian. Hmm. Well. For a long time I was progressing on Duolingo, but then my attention span kind of put paid to that idea. Maybe I'll start again!
8. Go and see Kings of Leon again. If they'd ever TOUR again...
10. Work internationally.
11. Take more photographs, practice, get better. Ongoing, but I definitely count where I am as progress!
12. Start a diary/journal.
14. Build my savings account... This also is still SUPER in progress, but I have a savings account that I contribute to monthly!
15. ... But also buy an 'investment' designer bag for myself. Pahahaha.
16. Visit Australia/New Zealand.
17. Write a short story.
19. Pitch my first story/feature. To anyone.
20. Aim to be the healthiest I've ever been & complete a walk/run for a charity. Working on this one suuuuper hard at the moment! It's my goal to make 28 my healthiest age yet.
25. Inspire someone.
27. Finish all the books on this list.
28. Meet a personal hero.
29. Go hiking and fishing in the Lake District.
30. Practice more peace, love, and stillness. Stay in the now. Yoga with Adrienne has helped me make SO much progress where this goal is concerned. It's a work in progress but my anxiety is definitely 1000 times better.
Nine down, a couple ongoing and a roundabout twenty to go... I'm feeling pretty confident! Do you guys have a list of goals you'd like to achieve?
Oh I love this! Maybe I should make one too - turning 27 this year, eek!
ReplyDeleteGal, I remember e-mailing you about roast dinners a long time ago. NO EXCUSES.
Ugh, Kings of Leon, yesss. Also, Australia also yesss. Maybe together? AMAZING.
I think all of these are incredible things to work towards, and I'm so happy you've ticked so many off already! Just gotta book that southern hemisphere plane ticket, eh...?
You should add 'Getting Disqus for my blog' to that list so I can see your damn replies to my comments hahahaha, just joking I love you (but seriously). I will continue to click Notify Me though because you're a baaaaaabe!

Turning 27 this year. Cute.
DeleteI KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I promise I'm on it - no one makes roasts in the summer anyways, right? :D I'll be a very good student come September. THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING, I am chomping at the bit to get 'dahn unda' (don't hate me tehehe) and see you and Tenneil and all the amazingness *looks at sad savings account and weeps*
The blog is gonna undergo a lot of changes VERY *SOON* I hope, and Disqus/a better commenting system is definitely on the list of things changing, so you won't need to 'Notify Me' too much longer ;) But I'm glad you doooo because you're da bomb and I love getting your comments in my inbox! Thanks so much as always for reading my love. T xxx
That's so great that you actually set yourself these goals! I wonder how many of them would have changed for me or how many I'd have ticked off if I'd made a list a few years ago. Great motivation to be able to look back on it though, and you've already ticked off quite a few of them even if you haven't been checking up on the list regularly, so that's awesome!
