27 Things Before 27

I recently came across the 26 & Not Counting blog, I read Jess's post entitled 27 Things Before 27. I was immediately inspired to create a list for myself. I love reflecting on things I want to accomplish & I thought this went along nicely with my post 26 Things I've Learned at 26. So I decided to create my own list of things I want to accomplish before turning 27 however big or small they may be.

Although I don't turn 27 until May, I need to get started!

1. Post at least three times a week to this blog. Update: I know I haven't recently but when I was really hardcore about it I did!!

2. Visit Amy & Will in Boston. Update: I know this isn't technically before 27 but I am going in August (can't wait!!)

3. Finish book club books on time & not read them after (oops!)

4. Cook at home three times a week (this is big for me, I never cook!)

5. Lose 5 pounds. Update: lost 13 pounds

6. Host a dinner party

7. Hang up the pictures in my living room

8. Pay off my credit card

9. Go to Monticello

10. Write my friends a letter at least once every three months

11. Try a new workout: I tried Orange Theory with my work. It was a hard workout but really good! I burned over 600 calories from one workout. Crazy, right? Update: I workout everyday for 30 minutes at home and have learned how to have a healthy lifestyle (more to come on that.)

12. Go kayaking

13. Collaborate with a blogger in the DC area

14. Learn more SEO

15. Create social icons for this blog that are cute

16. Go apple picking

17. Eat out less (see #4 about cooking more)

18. Register for an acting class

19. Continue to grow out my hair without cutting it off (this is tough!)

20. Skype with my parents once a week

21. Skype with Amy & Will once a week

22. Continue to volunteer for Alpha Chi Omega

23. Schedule blog posts on the weekend for the week (see #1)

24. Invest in new pots & pans

25. Start doing yoga

26. Go to a free barre class at Lulu lemon

27. Volunteer at a children's theater

I will update this as I go along with my progress. I am a bit behind since I was technically supposed to start this when I turned 26 (oops!) But no worries, I can do this.... right? Stay tuned!

What are goals that you want to accomplish?

Xo,

Emily

P.S. Thanks Jess (26 & Not Counting) for the great idea!
