One of my favorite bloggers, Maggie Mason, recently wrote up a list of 100 things to do before she dies. I remember making this list in college, but it had ridiculous things on it like "Scuba Dive", "Bungee Jump", and "Parachute out of an airplane". These are things I actually don't want to do. Maggie's list had me thinking, so I started writing down some To Dos of my own.
What I like about making this list at the age of 31, is that it's more realistic. There are small and big things on there. Some just take a little effort and some will take a lot of effort.
Here are the first 25 on my list, feel free to add some of yours in comments:
