24 Before 24!

Me & Sister

So two months ago I turned 23 and I've been reflecting over the list I made of 23 things I would like to do before I was 23. I wasn't able to do everything on my list, which I am a little disappointing about but also gives me drive to get my 24 things before I'm 24 done!
Before I start with my new list I thought I'd show you my old list and cross off everything I did manage to do before I turned 23. I managed to get 10 things done... not really that impressive but I did them!

1. Learn how to drive
2. Gain a diploma in digital marketing
3. Get another piecing
4. Publish that chapbook already!
5. Get highlights done by a professional
6. Go camping in the summer time
7. Binge watch Friends
8. Lose weight you wanted to lose when you were 16...
9. Make up with that friend (if they want the same)
10. Save some money
11. Read four books
12. Plan something special for your brother
13. Donate the blanket you are knitting for charity
14. Buy a Naked palette
15. Get your hygiene certificate
16. Make a cool af gingerbread house for Christmas
17. Go to a gig/talk/show of someone you really admire
18. Go crazy in a Victorian sweet shop
19. Visit your sister's new place
20. Make a new friend or connect with an old one
21. Do yoga or meditation at least once a week
22. See a movie you want to see on your own
23. Learn how to use your Polaroid camera

 1. Starting learning how to drive

5. Make a cool af gingerbread house for Christmas

10. Get comfortable riding a bike
11. Start selling my artwork
12. Go to the dentist  
13. Go to a gig/talk/ play (performance art) by someone or something you really admire.
14. Visit the seaside 
15. Sort out your wardrobe 
16. Get my legs waxed at a salon
17. Don't let the slugs get to the peas
18. Write about things I want to, coffee shops, books, films, music - and try not to be afraid of other people thinking you are wrong for having opinions on these things. 
19. Take my health more seriously and go to the gym at least once a week. (Do an active activity once a week). 
20. Give up dating apps
21. Spend more time around nature, press flowers - start a collection - learn about flowers - keep a diary
22. Keep a record of tickets bought and write about them - train, gigs, cinema, plays
23. Have a spa day
24. Buy an organiser to track and keep life stress free (hopefully)
The thing I learnt through these lists is that I need to give myself goals that are a little more realistic and achievable. I'm going to do this by giving myself smaller tasks inside the goal such as ''Start learning how to drive'', thats the first step, then I need to continue learning and take the tests.
I understand I am very very late with this post but I wrote it in December and only now finished my list and what I'd like to do before I'm 24.
I'm not a massive fan of New Years resolutions so I make birthday resolutions instead, it feels a lot more personal and helps me to reflect more on my life rather than the year.
As always thank you so so much for reading.
