23 Things to Do While I'm 23

Last month, I turned 23. When I was really young, I thought that 23 was the most fashionable age... now I'm not so sure. I don't feel very chic. You'll have to judge for yourself. :)

Following in the footsteps of some of my friends, I decided to post my list of

23 Things to Do While I'm 23

1. Take advantage of all the student discounts I can while I’m still a college student
2. Get a job doing something I care about
3. Take a cooking class
4. Read the front page of the newspaper every morning
5. Run a 5K
6. Fall in love
7. Buy a wool coat
8. Travel to two new places
9. Attend the temple at least six times
10. Read 3 books off my “list”
11. Hike the U
12. Initiate conversations with complete strangers
13. Be kissed in the rain
14. Eliminate clutter from my life
15. Read a biography
16. Cook dinner at least once a week
17. Act on promptings to serve
18. Go to a Utah gymnastics meet
19. Graduate from the University of Utah
20. Make a list of things to see in Amsterdam and plan my dream trip
21. Talk to my Grandma and Oma once a week
22. Learn to swim
23. Have no library fines

And a bonus: Enjoy the journey and all the unexpected happiness that comes my way. Life is great!

Whew!

After an extended absence from the world of blogging... I'm back! I've started student teaching, and school has taken up a large amount of my free time since August. That means I've been falling behind on blogging... and I've missed it. Now, nobody likes a stale blog, so I'll try to keep this one up to date. :) My next few posts will look back over the exciting, busy, and demanding last three months of my life!
