30 before 30...

Well, here I am! I have reached the last year of my twenties and it's less than 365 days to go till the big 3-0! I plan to make this the BEST. YEAR. EVERRRR! and partake in a whole host of exciting and challenging activities throughout the year. I want to make this year enjoyable and memorable and grab hold of every opportunity and completely live life to the full! The things on this list consist of things that I love, things that I despise, things I have always wanted to do, things that I have been putting off for too long, things that will be all about the fun and pure indulgence, things that will challenge me to the max and make me cry and swear, and things that I have never had the confidence to believe that I could achieve but know I will once I put my mind to it. So without further ado, here's the list...
