Welcome to my very personal 30 before 30 list, where I put together a list of ‘bucket list’ items to accomplish in my last year of my 20’s. Ideally, I would’ve started this list much earlier in my 20’s, but I figured it’s better late than never! 30 before 30 lists are a fun way to reflect on what you’ve spent your time doing and to plan things you want to accomplish in your 20’s.
I decided to share mine in hopes that it’ll inspire you to create your own list so you can continue chasing your dreams. If you’re already in yours 30’s, you can create a 35 before 35 list or a 30 in my 30’s list, and this goes for any age range. It’s never too late. The idea is to hone in on your goals and hold yourself accountable for getting it done. Have fun with it!
After reflecting on what I’ve accomplished thus far, I’m grateful for my 20’s being so full of moments I was able to cross things off my bucket list. In the next decade (that sounds terrifying), I will have much bigger, more exciting goals.
My 30 before 30 list:
- Learn to sew
- Go to Paris with my besties
- Learn a recipe from 3 family members (baklava from my grandma is a must)
- Hit 100 classes at my pilates studio
- Plan my 30th birthday + get my birthday wardrobe together
- Do a major closet clean out
- Cliff jump into the ocean
- Visit 2 of the 7 Wonders of the World
- Take Chai paddle boarding
- Collab with brands, businesses, and/or creators in my community
- Get 2 piercings
- Read 10 books minimum
- Work on my fitness to get in the best shape
- Buy myself at least one luxury item
- Take new headshots/blog photos
- Do a 30 day meditation challenge
- Host 3 meaningful events
- Eat a big bowl of pasta in Italy
- Incorporate more cardio weekly (I dread this one but it must be done)
- Post more consistently on social media
- Try at least 3 new wellness studios
- Go whale watching
- Visit 3 new countries
- Increase my financial literacy
- Attend a World Cup match
- Improve my eczema naturally
- Do yoga with view of Lake Atitlán
- Write a letter to my future self
- Go to a concert (I haven’t been to one in a while)
- Share 30 lessons I’ve learned in my 20s
This list had to be shortened and consolidated into attainable goals I could potentially accomplish in a year. In my 30’s, it’ll be a whole different game of goals I’ll set for myself!
Just to give you an idea, if I would have created this list in my earlier 20’s, I would’ve most likely included things like finishing my Bachelors degree, finally starting my blog as a passion project, and traveling to Greece because they were all major goals I had.
I started to compile my list around my birthday this year and I’ve quietly been crossing some of these things off already. With only about 5 months left, I have some work to do!
Happy Planning! ❤︎
