Yesterday was my 26th birthday. I know I'm not, but I feel really old. I guess its the fact that I never pictured myself or imagined myself as being 26. I was actually going to have this up yesterday, but I had a really bad day yesterday. But today is a new day, and its my first true day as being twenty-six. So here is a list of things I want to do before I turn twenty-seven.
⨠001. Put myself out there. // Last night, I realized I needed a bigger support system. I need a friend. I need to open myself to new opportunities and to get to know more people so that way I can cultivate new relationships to people, weither they be here in real life, or on the internet.
⨠002. Go to the gun range with my brother. // Now that Bryan is back home for the summer, I feel like we should go out and do something. Bryan loves his guns, and I've always wanted to get my concealed weapons permit like my dad. So I think it would be cool to go out and do something like that with my brother.
⨠003. Go to Disney World. // Robert's sister, Brittany, is currently at Disney World. I'm super jealous right now. I love all the super detailed effort that the imaginers put into the parks. I've convinced Rob to go sometime next year.
⨠004. Nurture my Blog.// Since starting my blog in January, I don't have much content. So I need to continue to pay attention to my blog, since I feel like this should be my memoir's first draft. This means also trying to connect with other bloggers and commenting as well.
⨠005. DECORATE.// I've been living in my apartment for almost two years. I still don'f feel entirely comfortable in my place. I think its because I haven't really decorated or made it mine. I really need to decorate.
⨠006. End the Oven/Kasey conflict.// My oven hates me. No matter what I do, whatever I cook burns. That stops now. I will prevail over the oven, and I will successfully bake a cake or cookies.
⨠007. Read a new book each month.// I want to read something new every month thats not a series book.
⨠008. Pay off another credit card.// I just recently paid off one of my 3 credit cards and it felt so GOOD! I want to pay off two more of my credit cards.
⨠009. Foam Party.// Charleston Pantheon, the local gay night club, has foam parties every once in a while. I want to go to one so bad!
⨠010. Try new craft hobbies.// I mostly just paint and draw. I would love to learn how to make grannie squares and eventually make a blanket out of them.
⨠011. Learn how to really use Photoshop.// I mostly use Illustrator for my graphics, but I'd like to learn how to use Photoshop.
⨠012. Take more pictures.// I bought a really nice camera, and bag to go with it. I need to use things that I have.
⨠013. Take care of myself. // I'm getting older. I can't continue with the way I've lived. I need to eat better, since my face continuing to break out is a huge red flag for me. I need to exercise some more.
⨠014. Make homemade sangria.// I love a good sangria, and I really want to make my own.
⨠015. Go to a Gay Pride Parade.// I was told that a gay pride parade was the 2nd Happiest Place on Earth.
⨠016. Get that Tattoo.// I've probably said it on every list that I've every tried to make, weither it was new years resolutions or a 100 in 1001 list. But I need to do it!
⨠017. PAINT.// I have 7 canvases that are begging to be covered in paint right now.
⨠018. Make Sun Tea.// Now that its officially summer, I want to have constant supply of tea and lemons in the house. Sweet tea and lemons out of a mason jar is the best thing about summer.
⨠019. Make Mason Jar Go Cups.// I love having the plastic straw cups that everyone and their mother has, but I love the look of mason jars. I want to make a set of four of these for my house to use.
⨠020. Have adventures with Rob.// We never go anywhere that's fun and exciting. I want to have more little adventures when we go out.
⨠021. Start a game night.// I want to have the friends I do have over for a board game night with drinks and everything.
⨠022. Go all out for Holidays.// I love the end of year holidays, and I want to really go all out for Halloween and Christmas. I want to decorate the house in a major way.
⨠023. Get my Passport.// The world an open book thats waiting to be read and seen.
⨠024. Complete a Day in My Life.// I did one of these a few years ago, and it was really fun. I would really like to do one of these again.
⨠025. Get an iPad.// This seams so trivial and ridiculous, but I want to get an iPad mini.
⨠026. Enjoy my year.// I have only one year to be 26. I want to live it up.
Belated happy birthday , Kasey !

DeleteHappy Birthday Kasey!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about feeling old, I'm only 21 and couldn't quite wrap my head around the fact that a quater of my life has basically already flown by.
Your list is full of wonderful ideas that I'd like to try myself
I hope you had a lovely day :)

Thanks so much!
DeleteI think everyone feels the same on their birthday. It also seems really weird after 25 because after that most of your milestone birthdays are then gauged by decades.
I know right! Hit 20... half way to 40, 10 years from 30.
DeleteIt's scary, I don't know where time goes, it feels like every single year goes by faster and faster!
