My big 2-0 birthday is coming up at the end of this week! I’ve found myself reflecting a lot but, most of all, I am looking ahead into my coming years in my 20s.
One of the biggest things I’ve been working on is my 20s bucket list filled with all the things to do before 30. I figured why not share this bucket list for your 20s with you?!
Let’s Make Our Ultimate 20s Bucket List Together!
So, you’re in your 20s! Woohoo!
Your 20s are really unique. Of course, everyone’s situation is different, but I feel like your 20s are a great time to focus on you, yourself, and your freedom! I am lucky enough to have the ability to kick off my 20s selfishly.
And that doesn’t mean “selfish” in a bad way. Not at all.
Being selfish can actually be really beautiful. It is a gift to have the ability to be selfish with your time and energy.
It is actually a goal of mine to be more selfish in my 20s.
With that, I have developed a huge bucket list for my 20s. This before 30 bucket list includes all the fun, exciting, and liberating things I want to experience before 30.
To keep this bucket list clear and concise, I have separated it into some individual categories: personal, travel, health, entertainment, relationship, and miscellaneous!
I could keep rambling about all the things to do in your 20s but, to avoid boring you, let’s just jump right into this bucket list for your 20s!
