New Years is actually one of those things I forget about until December 30th or so, when my Facebook feed is chock full of resolutions.
I’m sure I made a resolution or two last year. To be completely honest, I don’t remember what they were. It hasn’t mattered to me, really. I feel no disappointment over not keeping a resolution, or heck, even remembering it, because 2013 was incredibly fulfilling in so many ways.
So instead of doing a resolution, I’ve decided to put together a 20 Before 20 list. (20? What?)
Instead of just trying to do one or two things throughout the entire year (although there are a few of those on there), I’ve created a list of 20 things that I’d like to do before my 20th birthday. It’s more like a bucket list, so to speak.
