Everybody has a scary age right? That age that you think
will never arrive, until suddenly it is there – lurking just around the corner.
Well my scary age has always been 30. The big 3 0! When I was in junior school
I had this teaching assistant who was 30, and I just remember thinking ‘woah,
that’s old’. To be fair I was 10 at the time, so anything over the age of about
20 was old to me! But suddenly I am rapidly approaching my 29th
birthday (September if anyone is interested!), and the prospect of turning 30
is becoming much more real.
I have always loved a challenge, and thrive on doing new
things. I feel it keeps me interesting – and young! So I have decided to
compile a list of things to do before I’m 30. Things I have always wanted to
do, but never got round to it. I am calling it the 30 Before 30 project.
So, I have one year and two months to complete my list. When
I tick a goal off I will write about it (which will also give me ideas for my
blog). Lets see if I can tick off all 30. Ready, set…..go!
