26 before 26
September 6th, 2012 | Posted by in ameliaI think I’m going through a quarter life crisis. ‘What is the point of life?’ ‘What am I doing with my time?’ ‘Why am I here?’ ‘Where is the last éclair?!’ So in order to give my pointless dilettantism some structure, and to create a perceived sense of purpose to my existence, & somewhat inspired by Ega Jones, I have written a list of 26 things to do before I myself am 26, on December the 20th. (I had a suspicion that I was 25, but I still had to double-check my actual age.)
They aren’t all hugely meaningful; some of them are things I’ll do anyway, and some of them are things I’ll have to push myself a bit to do. Naturally, I’ll be blogging about them here when I get to cross them through.
Here we go:
2. Assemble 3x work appropriate outfits on the cheap
3. Submit 1 photo to a competition
4. Book a foreign holiday
5. Go vegan for a week
6. Decorate & cosify the new flat on the cheap
7. Celebrate my cousin’s wedding
8. Make 10 hair slides from Fimo clay
9. Celebrate my Grandma’s 80th birthday
10. Make 5 savings jars for change to save for wine, travel, plugins, cake & books
11. Go trampolining
12. Read 40 books
13. Start a Physics A Level
14. Read one Social Media/Marketing Book
15. Make a difference at my next internship
16. Make a chocolate souflée
17. Save £200
18. Have 50 regular readers of Throwaway Literature
19. Double my monthly income
20. Fill a small notebook with doodles
21. Get a proper audit of my accounts
22. Go one place I’ve never been before
23. Organise my stationery and notebooks
24. Move to Molesey
25. Visit three more cupcake cafés in London
26. Cycle 5 miles per week
One of the many bonuses of this, is that I get to count down to legitimately countdown to my birthday from fifteen weeks away.
