I just came across your blog on suggestion from a friend. I’m really keen on it. I really like the 30 things before 30 list. I am almost 30 (in 5 months) and have only one piece of advice (from experience). If I had to do it all over again, I would put the tattoo on the list of “things to wait until I am at least 30 to do”. I have 4 (technically) tattoos and never thought I would regret them. I sometimes regret at least 3 of them. They are not stupid or obnoxious, but I sometimes regret them. My undergraduate advisor used to say that there are 2 things you should wait until your 30’s to do, get a tattoo and get married. I’ve grown to realize that he was absolutely right.
I realize that my advice is unsolicited, but maybe you won’t mind. :o)
Good luck with your list!
I love your list. It’s great to map it all out there so that you make sure you accomplish your dreams. Thanks for sharing
