It's my birthday! - as Repunzel would say - and, in honor of turning 19 I decided to take a moment to revisit my 18 before 19 list...
2. Set up a pretty blogging space
4. Get a pickup truck
9. Get my 120 film developed
11. Sponsor at least one blog every month
12. Write a book
13. Go on a road trip without my family
14. Get more organized
16. Have a clear work time and a clear break time
18.
Even though I only got half the stuff done (and I'm counting my original goal of making new friends instead of the one I ended up replacing it with since my uncle's wedding made it impossible to see Owl City live again. :-P), I'm still really excited about everything I did this year. There is so much that's not on that list!
I graduated high school.
I got my first job.
Drove to Chicago all by myself - several times!
Bought my first pair of designer shoes with the money I made from said job.
I got to attend three weddings as a photographer.
I got over my fear of driving on the highway.
I got to see the movie I've been waiting to see since I was 6 years old (or at least, the first part of it)
And I was the best version of me I've ever been before. I can't wait to see how God changes me this year, and He has in store for me!
Have any of you done a xx before xx list before? I'd love to hear how many you were able to cross off + what they were! I'm hoping to share my 19 before 20 list later this week. *wink*
I never made a list like this, but I have read a few blog posts about these. I feel like I should make one...maybe it will make me more goal oriented. :)

Way to go! And of course, Happy Birthday, Katie! :)
ReplyDeleteI make lists all the time. I usually make one big one at the beginning of the year with big goals (like yours) and then each season I make another one but smaller. On Friday I start a winter list! I like having them around to make sure I keep doing fun things and don't turn into a boring adult. lol
Happy Birthday! And well done on getting at least part of your list done. I used to make these all the time and every single time I only managed one or two. I made a new list about a year ago, but this time with no time limit on it, admittedly I haven't done a lot of it yet, but having it there to remind me of my plans for my future is a great motivator xo
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Now I'm going to make myself one of these lists. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, I hope it was a great one! Congrats on accomplishing so much this year, I hope next year is just as great for you! Also, I'm glad to have helped give you a reason to drive into Chicago once ;)
ReplyDeleteI turn 19 in March! I think I might make a 19 before 20 list. :)

Way to go on your list! Mine was about the same as yours not all of it is done but I still feel good about what I accomplished.
