30 before 30

Hello bunnies!

Lately,I've been seeing quite a few " 30 before 30" lists pop up all over the internet, and you know, they are a pretty good idea. I've decided to jump on the bandwagon.

I'm 26, turning 27 in August, so the clock is ticking. Here we go!

1-Sunbathe totally nude ( as opposed to just topless as I've been doing)
2-Get published (Be it a book, a regular article in a newspaper or magazine, etc)
3-Volunteer more (preferably with LGBTQ youth)
4-Double my under-the-needle time in terms of tattoos (Currently at 42 hours. I'd like some sexy thigh tattoos next!)
5-Conquer my fear of medical needles and medical procedures, so I can get tests/ etc done without panic attacks
6-Travel more- especially overseas. Particularly, Spain , Italy and France
7-Learn to make french macarons
8-Sing in front of a crowd in a non-drunken-karaoke fashion
9-Learn to play the ukulele
10-Perform more burlesque
11-Hone my sewing skills, and design some dresses instead of just altering existing ones.
12-Read more books
13-Do more yoga
14-Grow and can my own food ( working on that one right now!)
15-Give more talks on body-positivity, self-confidence, etc .
16-Host more diner parties
17-Get a bike, and effin' use it.
18-Attend more music festivals ( Red Hot n Blue, HotRod Hootenanny, etc)
19- Learn to drive a classic car ( pre 1960s Chevy, Ford or Caddy!)
20-Learn to knit
21-Help my partner get an education, be it with taking on another job to support us both for awhile, or moving somewhere school is better/more affordable. Possibly Montreal.
22-Practice/ Use my French more- I was raised bilingual but I'm very self conscious of my French. Gotta use it, or I'll loose it.
23-Visit family in other parts of the world.
24-Donate more to deserving charities
25-Camp out in the desert (preferably in Arizona.) Drive Route 66!
26-Visit California to see Mel, visit the Museum of Death, and experience Santa Monica and LA
27-Continue to conquer my anxiety, and enjoy my first winter without crippling depression and hermit-dom
28-Hopefully grow some more damn natural eyebrow (after an unfortunate waxing incident when I was 19, I have very little natural eyebrow, hence them being drawn on.)
29-Get more birdies, preferably a conure!
30-Turn 30 gracefully and un-ashamed. Life will not end for me at 30 as I've always stressed about.. Growing older will not make me less of a woman. Wrinkles will not make me less attractive. I will embrace the wisdom and knowledge I will accumulate, and enjoy every minute.


How about you guys? What are some things you young folks would like to do before you're 30? Hell, how about 40 before you're 40? 50 before you're 50? Write a post, share the link, I'd love to know!!
