The Big 25 List

With the big 2-5 lurking just around the corner (actually it's over a month away), I thought I would be inspired by French Toast Girl and do a Big 25 list. These are the things I want to accomplish in my 25th year of life. My goal is to complete all of these before I'm 26. Here's my list!

1. Get an apartment closer to work and school! This is crucial for my sanity and for the ozone.
2. Start becoming financially independent and buy less junk!
3. Shhhh... this one's ultra-personal so I cannot reveal it's contents.
4. Learn how to flirt! hee hee...
5. Travel to Paris, France.
6. Learn some French before I go to France!
7. Celebrate one year of no sugar on April 9th, 2006!
8. Sign up for 401k. And read the huge 401k info packet before I do so I make an informed decision.
9. Keep up reading the New York Times and Publisher's Weekly and listening to NPR.
10. Learn how to rollerskate.
11. Be cool, fork over the cash and finally buy an iPod. Does that conflict with #2 on my list?
12. Get a professional portait taken of myself.
13. Take a self-defense class, or learn some self-defense techniques. Or get a can of mace!
14. Look more people in the eye
15. Make a few friends outside of work.
16. Brush up on my Portuguese. It's really faltering.
17. Travel to Maine (I can't believe I've never been there).
18. Get rid of some of the shame I carry around with me. I hate being embarassed over everything.
19. Brush up on my writing skills.
20. Go see a musical, theatrical production or even some ballet. I have no excuse not to because my school is in the theatre district and I get student discounts. Yes!
21. Read more blogs. There are so many cool and interesting people out there in the blogworld.
22. Go to the beach and have some fun in the sun. Believe it or not I haven't done that in a few years!
23. Watch less TV! (pipe dream)
24. Go to another crazy concert! (I went to one on Saturday, I'll fill you in on the details later)
25. Above all else, strive to be happy!
