RE: The Golden Ticket

I totally get what you guys mean, what are the goals that are achievable that i have always wanted to do before 30. I really don't get why girls make it all about kids and a husband, i want to have fun! I don't want to be tied down and thinking i wasted all these years when i could have done these things.

Sorry to break it to Mouri, but i have already done some of those on her list already. However, here are few i would like to add:

-Live abroad for a reasonable amount of time (NOT India)
-Take part in a musical stage show
-Visit the Great Barrier Reef
-Keep my eyes open throughout an entire helicopter ride
-Actually wear the entire contents of my wardrobe throughout a year, instead of buying new ones (more a personal goal i think)
-Take Salsa lessons
-Inspire sixth formers to form a Glee club (yes really!)
-Get a side part in a Bollywood movie
-Feel alive (not sure how, doing what, where but i just want to feel alive)
-Go camping and actually not moan about it the entire time i'm out there
-Get in touch with all my old school friends and stay in touch with them
-Visit Mouri!
-Go clubbing a couple of nights in a row with a group of friends including the lovely ladies on here and just go wild!

I can't think of any more but this proves how eclectic i am as a person, guess i am just looking for adventure more than anything else!

The Golden Ticket

After an interesting conversation with my fellow blog writer, Farah, I thought its time to make a list, things to do before 30 or The Golden Ticket. A list of things I’d want to have done if there were no limitations and no barriers. The Golden Ticket to a life filled with experiences.

On sitting down to make that list however it’s not as easy as you might think. Maybe I should put them into categories e.g. personal, work, just for the hell of it, miscellaneous. Do they need to be put into order of priority? ‘Pass driving test’ ahead of say ‘learn to crotchet’? Then I guess some things are dependent on others, ‘have first child’ can only happen once the ‘get married’ goal is fulfilled; at least if I still want my parents speaking to me.

In the end I decided the list must remain a work in progress and must only be filled with frivolous goals, with no place for meaningful life aims or professional development. With that in mind my provisional list stands as below, is in no particular order and is subject to change.

Start drawing again
Argentine Tango lessons
Complete at least one knitting project
Grow vegetables
Learn to swim properly!
Run 10k- time limit not specified
Go on another expedition- must be at least a week long and preferably somewhere remote
Learn to ride a bike!
Write something sizable (I know its vague)
Road trip through Europe
Learn to crochet
Keep bees
See the aurora borealis
Snorkel
Try sushi
Travel more (Vague again, I know, but then if I listed ALL the countries I want to see, well that would be a whole other list!)
Learn a language- I’m thinking Spanish or Japanese
Cultivate culinary skills
Own a cat!
Learn to make silver jewelry

Okay that’s my list for now! I urge my fellow bloggers to write their own list, think Willy Wonka!
