20 Before 20: The Other 19

A while back I was inspired to create a list of 20 things I would like to do before I turn 20 years old in June. I attended a music festival and had the greatest time with the greatest people. I realized that what makes for the best memories are not material things, but experiences and who we share them with. #1 on my list was to go to a music festival, and I was able to check that off when I went to Music Midtown in Atlanta. The rest of the list includes both big and small things that I have always wanted to do, and I am going to attempt to do them all within the next 6 months (no pressure)! So without further ado, here are the other 19 (in no specific order):

2. Visit childhood friends

3. Visit my grandmother in Miami

4. Go somewhere I've never been before

• I really want to visit New York or California

5. Change eating and exercise habits

• I'm taking a spin class every Tuesday and Thursday next semester. Wish me luck!

6. Throw a party

7. Study abroad

• I am a French minor, and my school offers the opportunity to study in Tours, France over the summer for college credit! And it's so much cheaper than if I were to go for vacation.

8. Get a spontaneous tattoo or piercing

• Because why not?

9. Become a morning person

• I am the worst when it comes to mornings! I refuse to take any classes that start before 11:00 a.m. and on weekends it's rare to find me awake before noon! I know that I could get so much more done in one day if I just woke up earlier. 

10. Vote

• ...for anyone but Donald Trump

11. Keep my room clean/ get organized

• I am SUCH a messy and unorganized person! My roommates probably hate me lol.

12. Take up a new hobby

13. Go camping with friends

14. Read more

• As a kid, I loved to read. Now that I'm older, there are so many more distractions and things going on that I rarely have time to pick up a book. I want to put distractions aside for at least an hour a night so I can read more. I really do miss it! 

15. Dye my hair

• I've had the same hair color for my whole life. I really want to try something different!  

16. Earn my red jacket (in Mary Kay)

• In Mary Kay terms, this means getting 3 personal recruits. This would be such a huge obstacle for me to overcome because I have always considered myself to be on the shy side. Earning my red jacket would mean overcoming my shyness.

17.  Volunteer

18. Get refrigerator-worthy grades

• School has always been a struggle for me. I am starting my major classes next semester, and I could not be more excited! My goal is to not get all Bs and higher.

19. Start a YouTube channel

• I love all things beauty and DIY. YouTube helped me discover my love of makeup, and I want to share that love with other people.

20. Go to more concerts!

• Demi, Nick, and Justin all have concerts coming up and you KNOW that yo girl can't miss them!

Bonus Jonas:

21. See Hamilton the Musical on Broadway

• Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but my roommate and I are OBSESSED with this musical (I am listening to it as I am writing this)! It combines my love of history and musical theatre. We go to college about 4 hours from home and we always carpool. Recently, our road trips have consisted of dissecting the entire 3 hour long Hamilton soundtrack. We are always picking up on new things each time! Lin-Manuel Miranda is currently my favorite person on the planet. He also wrote another one of my favorite musicals called In The Heights.
