25 before 25 :: a bucket list.

New months mean new beginnings.

That's not cliche at all, right? You know what else isn't cliche? Bucket lists.

25 before 25:

» Go to an outdoor concert

» Explore Ypsi and Ann Arbor more. 

» Go canoeing again.

» Make homemade bread.

» Read 50 books in 1 year (in 2013 the highest I made it was 47 books in a year)

» See Twenty One Pilots live.

» Go hiking and don't feel bad for stopping to take pictures. We live in a digital
    age and that's okay. 

» Have an emergency fund. Just open a savings account.
   Even if it's only $10 per paycheck, save something.

» Go to Ikea.

» Take the time to revisit places, because buildings and people won't be
   the same forever.

» Don't settle for experiencing half of what the world has to offer because
   you're afraid.

» Take a yoga class. Or a zumba class. Or something where you can have fun
    with others.

» Buy a car.

» Get something published.

» Get a book, go to the student center, and spend the afternoon reading.
    Bring a snack or enjoy an overpriced frappe from Starbucks.

» Identify your fears.

» Find a hobby that makes you happy to do. Don't do it because everyone's
   talking about it on Pinterest or you think it'll make you look cool. Just do it
   for you.

» Keep a journal.

» Grow a windowsill garden. 

» Step out of your comfort zone and do something you never thought you could do.

» Make it a habit to disconnect and enjoy life without cellphones and tablets.

» Go out to lunch more --- alone. 

» Following a similar idea, go to the movies alone. You can have fun on your own.
   Plus, it's cheaper when you don't have a plus one. 

» Learn how to make your favorite dishes from your favorite restaurants. They won't
   taste the same, but you'll appreciate it more because you invested time in it.

» and finally... Get my degree. :-)
