Last year when I turned 20, I posted on my blog, twenty-one things I wanted to do before I turned 21 and now I'm here to reflect on all those things to see how many of them I actually accomplished in the last year. If you want to see the previous post, click here.
1. VOTE: I did this! This was super exciting for me. I got super into the election and voted!
2. JOURNAL REGULARLY: I was doing really well about this and then I hit a standstill, but trying to get back into it.
3. GO OUT OF THE COUNTRY: I did not do this one before I turned 21, BUT I am going to Italy this summer, so it was planned before I turned 21!
4. ROADTRIP: For my spring break this year, Bryce, Graham, Megan and I all road tripped from Fayetteville to Chicago. It was a ton of fun. Definitely something I would do again.
5. SEE THE SUNRISE: Still not completed
6. SWIM UNDERNEATH A WATERFALL: I saw a waterfall, but it was a little to cold to swim underneath so half completed??
7. READ A BOOK: I did read a book! Even if it was one I had read before, I did it and I actually just checked out two books from the library so I plan on reading more this summer.
8. WORK OUT: In all honesty, I didn't do this and I am mad at myself for it. This summer I'm trying to make a work out schedule around my work schedule to get into the habit of this.
9. LIKE MYSELF: I really did have a lot of moments where I truly did like myself. I did very well in school this year and enjoyed myself.
10. GO SOCIAL MEDIA FREE: I have gotten so much better about not caring about social media. There were days where I just could care less about the post on Instagram.
11. SAY NO: I got so much better about this this year. I am such a people pleaser and I always fear people will hate me for saying no. This year when I felt as if I was spreading myself too thin, I would say no.
12. TAKE MORE PICTURES: I probably took thousands and thousands of pictures this year.
13. STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE: I definitely stepped out a little bit, but not enough to my liking.
14. ATTEND A MUSIC FESTIVAL: This one unfortunately did not happen, but hoping in the next few years it could!
15. HAVE A MOVIE MARATHON: I totally did this more than once. I had some lazy Saturdays after football season ended.
16. BE ON THE DEAN'S LIST: I was close but didn't quite make it!
17. MAKE A BIG PURCHASE: I bought my plane ticket to Italy for the summer! haha But also in the next few days I'm, buying a camera, so yes!! I did this.
18. BUY MORE FLOWERS: I kind of did this! I love flowers.
19. TRY WEIRD FOOD: In all honestly, I'm not sure if I did this or not. I really can't remember, but knowing me, I probably did haha.
20. DRINK WATER INSTEAD OF SODA: I definitely drink way less soda than I did a year ago, so I would say I accomplished this.
21. FALL IN LOVE WITH LIFE: I think I did. I really enjoy where my life is at now and how things are going.
So after a crazy year, only seven things on my list of 21 were not completed and after this summer, it will only be six. I am extremely proud of myself for all I accomplished this year. I am so thrilled to be twenty-one and enjoying the freedom that comes along with it. Heres to senior year of college starting soon and one step closer to the real world!
