Everyone has some things they want to achieve in their lives. I have certain dreams and certain ambitions. At 22, I can happily and proudly say I\u2019m on my way to achieving most of my ambitions. But some of my dreams remain yet unfulfilled, and I hope to fulfil them all in the years to come. Here are 20 things I want to do before I turn 30<\/p>\n
I know four languages fluently. In the past two years, I\u2019ve already taken the first steps and learnt two new languages, French and Spanish (up to a conversational level at least). But I\u2019d like to learn another new language before I turn 30. Maybe the tough-to-learn Mandarin or Korean. I don\u2019t know which language I want to learn just yet, but I definitely want to learn one.<\/p>\n
A big ambition, I know, but I\u2019d really like to travel the world, or at least see parts of it before I turn 30. I keep putting it off, whether it\u2019s for financial reasons or that exam I need to pass or that job I need to get. The reasons for putting it off are quite practical and reasonable, but one day (hopefully in the near future) I\u2019d really like to throw caution to the wind and just board that plane and go wherever I please.<\/p>\n
Ever since I\u2019ve been in school I\u2019ve dreamt of getting a stable job, that can help me support and provide for the family that gave me everything I needed. I\u2019ve dreamt of doing a job that gives me joy, that motivates me to wake up every morning. Now having discovered my passion for writing, and working hard on gaining experience at it, I think I may be on the road to finding that job.<\/p>\n
I am currently an international student at university. Having gotten a taste of living abroad, I\u2019d really to settle abroad with my family. I want to build a life that I love wherever I may be living.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m quite lazy, and a homebody through and through. But I also enjoy a good rush of adrenaline. I\u2019m always the one with hands in the air, screaming with joy on a roller coaster, so It\u2019s on my bucket list to try out at least one (maybe even more) adventure sport. Bungee jumping, sky diving, snorkelling. I want to experience it all before I turn 30.<\/p>\n
People tell me I\u2019m quite badass, so I\u2019ve always wanted to add to it and try to learn a martial art. It\u2019ll help keep me fit and I\u2019d be super cool and super safe, so why not?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always picked up a guitar, learnt a little and then forgotten about it. I\u2019d love to properly learn to play the guitar, and maybe even learn a new instrument.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m quite shy when it comes to singing in front of people. I want to let go of my inhibitions and scream a song into a mic for my own enjoyment, at least once in my life.<\/p>\n
I already have two tattoos and four piercings (two on each ear), and I want more! I\u2019m quite picky about the tattoos I get so I won\u2019t be covering my body in the art form, but I definitely want a few more tattoos, and at least one more piercing. I just need to figure what design to go for, and I\u2019m set.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always been quite tame about the hair colour I choose. It\u2019s always the browns and reds. I do it because I believe brighter colours won\u2019t suit me. But I want to just go for it and rock some pink, blue or purple hair. It\u2019s hair, so if It turns out not to be my colour, I\u2019ll just change it back!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again, I love staying in. Home is my comfort place. And I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s anything wrong with that. But I\u2019d really love to get more active and try more outdoor activities; maybe horse riding, maybe a sport, maybe even just taking more walks. The choices are endless.<\/p>\n
Hopefully part of travelling the world, I want to try as many different cuisines as I possibly can. I wouldn\u2019t call myself a foodie, but I enjoy the cultural and culinary experience of trying exotic and new food that tingles my taste buds.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a whiskey girl. It\u2019s my drink of choice, and though I\u2019ve tried other varieties of alcohol, I haven\u2019t tried them all. So I\u2019d love a chance to taste and enjoy the different kinds of alcohol before I turn 30.<\/p>\n
I live alone, and I\u2019m lazy. So safe to say, most meals come out of a box. It\u2019s not that can\u2019t cook at all. I can definitely manage the basics, but I would love to make more of the meals I eat, and maybe even add a few notches to my culinary skills.<\/p>\n
My mum recently taught me how to play Rummy, and I love it. Vegas has always been a faraway dream. So I\u2019d love to make it a reality and try my hand at gambling at least once. Definitely, don\u2019t want to make it a habit to carry over to my 30s though!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve grown up without a pet. I\u2019ve always craved the innocent love and loyalty that comes with having a pet.\u00a0 So providing a home to a puppy that needs it would be a dream come true for me. And if I have a dog, I might as well go ahead and get myself a cat as well. We\u2019d be one happy family, and I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n
Writing is my\u00a0biggest passion. It keeps me going when hard times hit. It\u2019s always been a silly, and often pushed aside desire in me to write a proper book. I\u2019ve always been too afraid to go for it, but I hope that I\u2019ll be able to write or at least make a beginning to the book that I\u2019ve always wanted to write.<\/p>\n
I am not socially awkward. I can carry a conversation, make it and keep it interesting. But I am by no means an extrovert. I prefer alone time, and silences more than large groups. And that\u2019s fine. But becoming more outgoing, going out and meeting new people. Becoming comfortable with extroversion is something I\u2019d love to achieve before I turn 30.<\/p>\n
I love my family and spend a lot of time with them already. They are my best friends. But life gets busy, I get busy and so do they. I would love for us to put aside some time for each other. I want to make lasting memories with my family, and make sure I never take them for granted.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m currently in a phase of self-learning. I\u2019m discovering myself, and navigating relationships, studies and a whole lot more. I am still learning to love myself. To accept myself for who I am, and I hope that by the time I\u2019m in my 30s, I have reached a point in my life where self-love comes naturally to me.<\/p>\n
