One Week!

Last year when I turned 24 I made a list of "25 things to do before I turn 25". Well, I have exactly one week left before I turn 25 and I have to sadly report that I didn't accomplish all 25 things. Having such a hectic schedule definitely didn't help. One of the best items that I got to cross off was being with my best friend when she turned 25. Although I was there the weekend before, I still got to party with her like it was 1789 (I was George Washington at her "America" themed party!)

I still want to continue with my list until I can accomplish all of them. Some might be trickier than others, but this girl is determined! Now lets see what else I have to cross of my list, shall we!

Meet a stranger and turn them into a friend

Get a new tattoo

Find a kick ass EMT job

This.

Run a half marathon

See a broadway show

Buy a bathing suit that I feel confident in

Cut and dye my hair

Be financially aware

Start to learn a new language

Have dinner with myself, no distractions

Buy a present for somebody "just because"

Visit a family member I haven't seen in a long time

Be with my best friend when she turns 25

Make a meat lover fall in love with a vegan meal

Donate to a charity

Take a road trip

Have a day of pampering for myself

Volunteer

Pay for someones lunch

Say "I love you" even if it scares me

Go to the beach and watch the sunrise

Learn a new hobby

Read The Hunger Games series

Go to a Panthers game with Sarika

14 to go! Clearly I'm not the best at doing anything that isn't working, eating, or sleeping. I can't complain too much about my 24th year on this earth, but I have a good feeling about 25. Here's to hoping that it is filled with life saving stories, memories made with Jalil, and everything in between!

Just Do Shit.

I told myself that I wouldn't make any resolutions for 2015. I found my 2013 resolutions list the other day and lets just say not a single one of them got crossed off. I can't plan my life around a list of things that might happen because the disappointment of not crossing them off upsets me to the core. All I can hope is that 2015 is going to be a great year filled with kick ass memories. 2014 wasn't too awful for me. Let's have a review of my past year, shall we?

• I got to take a trip to a winery with my very first college roommate
• My best friend in the whole wide world came to Philadelphia!
• I went to cotillion with a group of some pretty awesome people
• I got 2 new tattoos :-D
• I was part of a surprise pub crawl for a friend
• Became a certified EMT
• Got to go to Six Flags for the first time
• Moved into a new apartment with Sarika and Sandy
• Bought (technically leased) a new car
• Stayed up WAY too late to be able to see Sarikas guru
• Got a transport EMT job
• Ran a 5k
• Started a friendship with a guy from my EMT class
• Walked a 5k with my family
• Learned how to drive an ambulance
• Guy from previous point became my boyfriend
• Ran a 10k with said boyfriend
• Went to Arizona to celebrate Paige's 25th birthday! MURICA!
• Started volunteering at Radnor Fire Company as an EMT
• Spent Christmas with my mom and brother in Florida
• Started Crossfit again!
• And finally, in all my 24 years of living, got a midnight kiss on New Years!

If you couldn't tell, I think I had a pretty solid year (at least I think I did). Granted I only listed the good things and not the bad, but no one needs to dwell on those, especially me. 

There are a lot of things ahead of me in 2015, I can feel it and hopefully I remember to share it with all of you!

Happy New Year!
