This list took me over a month to compile. I'm glad I started to think of these things earlier than last year! I hope that means I'll have a better shot at completing more than last year, or dare I say it all of them.

I think the ones I'm most excited for is paying off the car, dinner parties and a group camping trip.

The ones I'm least excited for is the scary one and the bold haircut...because I'm nervous I wont bite the bullet and actually be bold. I heard somewhere that you're likely to keep your high school hairstyle indefinatley, which is both scary and crazy.

Check out how I did last year's list of 27 things here. And if you're interested check my 26 Things list here.

Happy Birthday to me and wish me luck on my list! You should make one too!
