24 while 24

Ten Feet Off Beale - 24 while 24

I am officially 24 years old. So, to celebrate my 24th year, 
these are 24 things I want to do before I turn 25.


1- Move 
 
  
2- Run an entire 5k

3) Las Delicias
4) Ernestine & Hazel's

6- Visit 5 new cities
 I love traveling, even if it's somewhere not that far away
1) Decatur, Alabama
2) Paducah, Kentucky
3) Tupelo, Mississippi
 
 
7- Learn basic photography
 I have a fancy camera, I want to learn how to use it properly
 
 
8- Grow my hair out
For as long as I can remember I've wanted super long hair
 
 
9- Pay for someone else at a drive-thru
I've always wanted to do this and figure this year is a good a time as any
 
 
10- Leave anonymous letters in public for strangers to find
They might just brighten someone's day
   
   
11- Go to an NHL game
Bonus if it's a Flyers game

I want to do more to help people in my community
 
 
13- Visit an orchard or farm

Played in a cotton field
Pumpkin Patch
 
 
14- Have a significant amount of money in savings
Exact amount not yet determined
 
 
15- See a movie at a drive in
 There's one in the Memphis area and I've never been!
    
    
16- Go camping
Any kind of camping.. glamping counts, too ;)
    
     
17- Bake Christmas Cookies
'tis the season
 
 
 
 
19- Dye Easter eggs
 I didn't do this this past Easter (maybe because I'm not five) but I wanted to
 
 
 
 
 
 
22- Get dressed up and go to something fancy
Sometimes it's nice to get extra dressed up
    
    
  
 
24-Watch five of the Oscar Best Picture winners
It's on my bucket list to see all of them one day.. might as well start with five I haven't seen
1) The Godfather
2) The Godfather Part II
 
 
* 25- This One's for Good Luck - Document Memories
I want to take more pictures and save them - print them out - make a photo album/scrapbook/frame them



There you have it! Looks like it's going to be a great year :)

  4. Read I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella. She's the author of the Shopaholic series. It was seriously one of the cutest and funniest books I've ever read.

  5. Yay for a Memphis bloggers meet up! I have been so jealous of these other bloggers posting about theirs in Atlanta, Chicago, etc.

  6. You'll definitely have a busy year! You already have pretty long hair, compared to me! But I'm with you, I've always wanted very long hair, but I've never had the patience to grow it out.

  9. We should do a random act of kindness link-up and just go ahead and take care of number nine and ten! :) I can't get it off my mind lately that I need to do some nice things for random people. Never done anything like that. I love this whole list because it's things that are actually do-able! Totally keep this up every year! As far as a book, the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris is addicting if you like True Blood. I recently read the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley, those are good, simple, quick reads. I've hear the Divergent series by Veronica Roth is good. Emily Giffin is one of my absolute favorite authors too. All her books are wonderful!
