Before the Year Ends Challenge 2016

Everyone has a bucket list. A list of crazy, fearless, and wacky things they want to do before they die. I have one too, but as I sit and think about the year that has gone by I wonder why I didn’t do more. I mean, I graduated college, I snagged my ‘big girl’ job and I even made a payment on my student loan. So adult… but where is the fun and excitement?

I have decided to challenge myself, and all of you too, to create a different sort of list. A list of things to do before the end of the year. They can be crazy, meaningful and even normal things to do. As I knock things off of my list, I will come back and share my experiences with all of you, hoping that I can inspire someone else to do something they have always wanted, but never pushed themselves to do.

1. Visit all Zoos within a drive of Cincinnati with my mama

2. Donate Blood

3. Go Skydiving

4. See the ocean (I have only been to the beach once in my life)

5. Take a riding class

6. Read a few books from Buzzfeed’s “65 Books You Need To Read In Your 20s” (I watch too much television)

7. Go to a drive-in

8. Spend a weekend in Chicago

9. Go camping with my gal pals

10. Have a massive water balloon fight (I’m looking at you Nardians)

11. Milk a cow

12. Stand under a waterfall

13. Go a week without any makeup (seems easy for most, but I live in mascara)

14. Unplug for a week (excluding work of course)

15. Go stargazing
