25 Things To Do Before 25

Yesterday I turned 24. The count down in on for turning the looming quarter century birthday. I officially have 364 days left to figure out how to be an adult and 364 days until I'm in my "mid-twenties". Ewh. So, to make this final year in my "early twenties" phenomenal, I'm composed a list of 25 things to do before I turn 25. Each one has been carefully selected without it being "too closed"or "too specific" of an item.  Whether it has been a life long goal, or something that I've recently decided I need to accomplish, this list, I believe, has a well rounded feel and can ultimately better my life as well as the community's and someone else's.  Some are harder than others, but all are attainable.  I can't wait to see where this takes me! The journey begins today, so let the fun begin!
