Hey guys,
So I decided it would be fun to redo this list and remove the things I accomplished before turning 25 and then add a few new things to accomplish before I turn 30! So I have a little less than 5 years before I turn 30 and I really want to be able to cross all of these things off of my list. So fingers crossed I can do that! I already get to cross one thing off my list and that is going to Germany. I took a trip there with my family this past December and it was definitely one of the most beautiful and scenic trips I have ever taken. I loved every single part of it and I can't wait to show you guys all of the pictures I took and tell you about all of the wonderful experiences I had there.
So basically the reason I'm crossing it off now and not on my previous list is because technically I didn't make it there before I turned 25. We went about month after I turned 25 so I kept it on this list and I'm crossing it off now!
I remember when I first wrote my 25 things to do before I turn 25 list and I remember thinking to myself that no one was going to read it because it was sooo long. It took me forever to write. I even had my sister help me write it! I think I was like 21 and it's crazy to look back and think of all of the things I've done and accomplished since I originally wrote the list. I can honestly say I'm pretty much still the same person. I haven't really changed much. I still want the same things in life. I want to be successful in life, have a career, have a family, and travel the world. I don't want to take anything for granted and I want to live life to the fullest. You never know when your time will be up and I've never wanted to say that I regret doing something and regret not doing something. Obviously not everyone has the same chances and opportunities as everyone but it's your life and it's what you make of it.
1) Travel to Italy
So this one definitely still made it on the list. I have seen so many movies that were filmed in Italy and it has always been somewhere I wanted to visit someday. I also follow a lot of bloggers and you tubers that have recently taken some trips there and it looks absolutely beautiful! I want to visit Milan, Florence, Rome, and Venice. I also want to take a trip to the coast of Italy and visit a few towns there. I also think it would be fun to do one of those culinary tours.
3) Travel to Greece
4) Travel to Iceland
5) Travel to somewhere in Canada
6) Travel to back to Ireland
7) Travel to Norway, Sweden, and Finland
8) Travel to Scotland
9) Travel back to Paris
10) Live somewhere new out of Florida (even if only for a short amount of time)
11) Get started on my Masters and finish
12) Improve my French or learn the basics of a new language
So one of my New Years goals for this year was to try and learn a new language. After our trip to Germany I really wanted to try and learn German but I kind of don't think that it will happen. To be honest, I think that some people just aren't meant to learn a new language and I think I might be one of those people. Between high school and college, I took 5 years of French and I still barely know how to say anything. I can tell you my name and that's about it! But who knows if I ever really have the time or the money to fork out for Rosetta Stone then maybe I will learn a new language.
13) Watch all of the Star Wars Movies
14) Help my sister publish her book
So my sister wrote a book a few years ago and we're still working on getting it published. She doesn't want to self-publish so she's basically just been slowly sending letters to agents that hopefully someday someone will ask to read it and help her get it published!
15) Go to a professional hockey game
This one is back on the list. It's seriously still a goal of mine and my sister's. It's honestly very sad that we haven't gone to a hockey game yet because we actually have like a minor hockey league that plays other minor teams all of the time. We live like 30 minutes from where the Florida Everblades play so maybe sometime before summer we'll buy some tickets and go watch a game! Who knows maybe it will become our new favorite sport!
16) Go on a Mission Trip
This is something that I've always wanted to do. Honestly the only thing holding me back is the food. I am such a picky eater that I would be so worried that I wouldn't find anything to eat or that I would offend someone if they were to cook us something. I have tried to not be as picky of an eater and I have definitely gotten better over the last year or two but there are still so many things that I just can't eat. The whole money thing and having to fundraise for the trip is the other thing that's holding me back. I am awful at convincing people to give me money! haha
17) Volunteer at a Summer Camp
There's this summer camp that my sister and I grew up going to and when I was younger my sister used to be a camp counselor there and she said that it was a lot of fun especially getting to work with the children and watch them grow and learn. So my goal is to someday get to do this, my only dilemma now is the whole PTO thing and not having enough of it to be able to do this.
18) Buy a Chanel Bag
So this was on my list of things to before I turned 25 and honestly up until I was 25, the career part of my life did not go as I had planned. I honestly did not think it was going to be that hard or take me that long to find a job where I was making a decent amount of money. So now that I am making money, I'm hoping that I will be able to put some extra money in savings specifically for this and hopefully buy my first Chanel bag before I turn 30!
19)Travel to Colorado with my sister
I talked about this a couple posts ago and mentioned how my sister wrote a book and it's based in Colorado! This is pretty much the main reason we both want to take a trip out there. I've also watched a couple shows that were filmed in Colorado so I think it would be fun to visit cities such as Boulder and Denver! I think our goal is take a trip out there sometime this year so fingers crossed we're able to plan something!
20) Go Zip Lining
My sister has been zip lining before but I haven't and she always talked about how much fun it was and so because of that I've pretty much always wanted to go. I think there are a couple places in Florida for this but I think that I want to do it while we're on vacation somewhere that way it's more memorable and it'll be like an excursion while we're vacationing.
21) Go tubing/white water rafting
My sister has told me several times about how she has done this and it was so much so basically that's the reason I want to go but at the same time it seems slightly dangerous. I think that when I do go I'll definitely go with my sister because she talks about how she wants to do it again! So maybe she and I will plan a trip together sometime in the future and go somewhere this is a popular thing to do.
22) Help build a house for Habitat for Humanity
I still really want to do this. I'm not sure when I will or how I will but it is still on the list of things to do in life!
23) Remodel and fully update the house I own with my sister
24) Buy another house and flip it
25) Own investment property
26) Buy my mom car and have it paid off
27) Go to a professional Basketball Game
28) See a concert at Madison Square Garden
29) Visit all of the Continental United States
The reason this one is on the list is because I've pretty much already been to most of the states in the US so I feel like I can accomplish this one over the next 5 years. The reason I say continental is because I don't really have much of a desire to go to Hawaii or Alaska. If I had to pick I would definitely Alaska over Hawaii but one seems too beachy and the other seems to cold!

30) Buy a fun car and have it paid off
One of my goals in life is to have a fun car such as a convertible for like date night or something. I've pretty much always wanted a Tiffany blue Thunderbird! So I'm hoping that someday I will be able to find one and buy one with cash so I don't have to worry about making a payment. But if I happen to find something else that I like then I will get that. As long as if it's convertible!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I hope you enjoy coming along with me to cross all of these things off my list over the next 5 years or so!
I hope you enjoyed my new list! Now come along and watch either fail or succeed at checking them off!
Talk to you soon!
XO, Steph
