No Regrets

Ever since I got my Kindle for Christmas, I've been spending a lot of time at the library. Well, actually, I've been spending a lot of time on the library's website.. haha. I usually just find the books that I want online and request a hold from there. The only time I actually go to the library is just to pick up/drop off the books. One book I've been reading lately is No Regrets by Sarah Ivens. It's a cute book about "101 fabulous things to do before you're too old, married, or pregnant."

Now, even though you already have the list, I would still suggest to go out there and read the book. After every item, the author provides tips and true stories. My goal is to accomplish these before I'm 30, 35 at the latest. I've already completed some of these goals but I think it's the travel ones that will take the longest. Like visiting Africa. That's gonna take a lot of money haha. And since I still have a few years (like, 6!) before I'm 30, I think I will come back and provide an update of my list every year or so. Let's see how this goes. Will you try the list with me?
