I did update my book list and sent you a note on facebook – let m know if you start reading them! T
My senior year of college I made a “25 Things to Do Before I’m 25” list. Of course, most of them were way out of my range, like visiting another country and running a marathon. I still love the idea, though. Of course, now I’ve only got a few months until the 25 mark.
I think your list is a little more realistic. Right now, mine would include learning to crochet, learning some basic Spanish and picking up some basic cooking skills.
Good luck!
Does this mean I need to make a 50’s List. How scary!
I like number 25
family vacations are good specially if you spend them near beaches or tropical rain forests ..
family vacations in a nice tropical country would be very very nice .-‘
