So, this is nothing new- bucket lists, that sort of thing. But when I turned 24 25 days ago (what!?) I decided that I should make a list of things I want to do before I turn 25. I’m in my mid twenties (OMG breathe…) which is terrifying so rather than panic and feel depressed about how fast my life is seeming to go, I’d like to think of things I want to accomplish.

Here are the 25 things I would like to have accomplished or achieved by the 1st of May, 2015:

1. Read 50 new books
2. Re-read the Harry Potter series
3. Lose some weight (I’m not quantifying this, because if I say I WANT TO LOSE 3 STONE and I don’t, I will feel like poo.)
4. Dye my hair blonde again (the lighter, the better!)
5. Get a tattoo (I need to price up my Smaug tatt)
6. Repierce my helix (and/or any other ear piercing)
7. Run/Walk/Jog/Dance 5k
8. Finish writing my novel
9. Visit Edinburgh
10. Have at least £500 saved in my savings account
11. See the Northern Lights
12. Have afternoon tea
13. Buy a corset
14. Go on a date
15. (Begin to) learn a new language
16. Apply for PGCEs or PhDs
17. Treat my mum to something
18. Go on a trip by myself (not necessarily far away or overnight)
19. Throw a dinner party
20. See 10 new films (1/10)
21. Visit an art gallery
22. See Shakespeare live
23. Learn to play the guitar
24. Take my Grade 8 cello exam
25. Write (and perform) a song

There. That’s my ‘bucket list’ of sorts! Is there anything you want to do?
