30 Things Before 30

I love making lists. To-do lists, packing lists, lists of goals, reading lists, etc. When I moved to SC, I made a list of things to do/see. I'm leaving in a week and I've done quite a bit, but not everything. Oh, well. It's been a good year!

I've decided to make a list of fairly big goals that I want to accomplish before I turn 30 - things to do, see, get, and experience. I know I have 5 and a half years in which to accomplish everything, but I see a lot of bloggers make lists like this when they're 28 or 29 and not accomplish everything.

I figure if I give myself enough time, I can get everything done that I've come up with, use it as motivation to not be lazy, and (assuming I'm still blogging in 5 years) you can all follow my progress.
