A very special person has inspired me recently. One thing in particiular that I was inspired to do was to write a list of things that I’d like to accomplish, learn or just do before I turn 25. I know that doesn’t leave me much time…actually, it leaves me less than 6 months. But, I figured I’d make this list pretty managable then then my next list to do before I’m 30 will be longer.
I decided to share this with everyone because I’d really like my friends to play a part in these life experiences right along with me. I would be nothing without the wonderful people in my life. With that said, I’ll be updating my progress of this list as I go along, videos and all! That even includes my running. For anyone who knows me personally, you’ll laugh at the thought of me running, but hey, I’m going to make it happen. I’d really appreciate any feedback about my list and my progress. Trust me, it will help!
Anyways, this should be interesting to say the least. So, here goes nothing…or possibly my biggest something…
1.) Start working at a legit news station – By this I mean I really don’t care what position I have there. Just SOMETHING. I just want to get my foot in the door. Besides, I know I’m good enough.
2.) Model for another photo shoot – This is strictly for me. It’s one of the most freeing, empowering thing I’ve ever done for myself and I want to give it another go while I still have the body for it. I would encourage every woman out there to do it. If you’re ever feeling down about yourself, get yourself out there and do what makes you feel beautiful.
3.) Run a 5-10K Race – This should be interesting considering I hate running.
4.) Get icarabout.com running above and beyond it’s potential
5.) Start learning the cello again – Music has always played a huge role in my life as a creative and emotional outlet. Lately I’ve been missing that in my world and I really need it back.
6.) Ride a horse – Don’t ask…I just want to.
7.) Network more and share my ideas – I have great ideas for Cleveland, I just need to act on them and know how to make them happen.
8.) Learn to fish
9.) Make my parents proud of me – They claim they already are…but I’ve haven’t really done much to earn it. I want to give them a reason to be proud when they talk about their daughter. That WILL happen this year, guaranteed.
10.) Get a tattoo/work on getting past my phobia of needles – I’m sure you can see how these two go hand-in-hand. Although I’m still on the fence about the tattoo, it would be a very tasteful (I know that’s hard for some of you to imagine, but I promise it would be), meaningful and small piece of art in a hidden place.
Too be continued…
The Cleveland Bridge Project, a FREE arts and food party being put on by IngenuityFest & KSU Urban Design Collaborative is this Friday and Saturday. The coolest part is that it’s located on the entire span of the streetcar level of The Veterans Memorial Bridge (Detroit Superior Bridge). I’ve always wondered what was up there and how to check it out.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, here’s a video explaining how to actually get up onto the lower level of the bridge. I’ll see you all there this weekend!
