In honor of my 20th year of life (on July 30, in case you wanted to send your girl a gift), I’ve decided to start a challenge/bucket list for myself. I've hit many milestones in my lifetime from the sweet 16, the legal voting age of 18, graduating high school and going off to college, to becoming an auntie to three amazing kids, while gaining and losing people in my life. This year has been especially hard for me with college, best friend problems, my first long-distant relationship and many more other situations, but I have realized that those experiences have only made me stronger and that I now look forward to creating and having new experiences--of course on the more happy side of things this time. Now, your goals don’t have to mirror mine, but if you’re looking for a guideline feel free to follow this one. Here is my bucket list. I hope you all enjoy!

1. Go on a vacation, with family, friends, or heck even yourself!

2. Dedicate a week to myself this summer to disconnect and RELAX. Meaning (as little as possible) social media and technological ( so go camping in my case).

3. Take more pictures. At least a few selfies a week (we won’t look like this forever y’all).

4. Spend more quality time with my favorite girls, my feisty grandma and my Mama.

5. Be a better friend.

6. Take a boxing class or a pole dancing class.

7. Be more grateful even for the littlest things.

8. Laugh at myself more because Lord knows that I do plenty to embarrass myself.

9. Get a new piercing/ or a tattoo.

10. Learn to cook a fancy dinner like Martha Stewart, or Rachel Ray makes.

11. Work out at least once a week, whether it is just walking a mile or two or actually going to the gym.

12. Read at least 100 books before the year is up (that's going to be beyond easy for me).

13. Go on a road trip; have set destination or just where ever you end and pull a Dr. Sues "Oh the places you'll go."

14. Be kind to myself. I haven't been fair to myself or my body and it's time to change that.

15. Join more organizations; the more you get invovled the more friends you make.

16. Expand my fashion taste/wardrobe that doesn't include sweat pants, and tights.

17. Do DIY crafts I like from Pinterest (three down, a million to go).

18. Go to a foreign country.

19. Go to a club (yep, I know. I KNOW, leave me alone…).

20. Get outside of my bubble more often.

21. Be happy.

You can do many more things than the ones on your bucket list. I know I will, and make every day a fun day. My 20 years of living have been a blast and I've accomplished a lot, so here is to another year of life, and time to make this year count more!
