 | On the eve of my 26th birthday, I realized how close I am to 30. Take that thought as you may, but fact of the matter is the four years from age 21 to 25 flew by more quickly than anyone could have ever prepared me for. And I can only guess the next four will go by even more quickly.
Since 30 marks an age where society grooms us to believe we need to “settle down,” I have decided there are certain things that I need to do before exiting my 20s.
Now, without further ado, in no particular order, my personal list of 30 Things To Do Before I Turn 30.
1. Skydiving

First: El Salvador.
