25 to 25

When I was 22 I made a list of 25 things I want to do before I’m 25. I originally posted about that here, but I figured if I’m going to cross this stuff off I should keep a real record of it. So. This isn’t a complete Bucket List by any means, just 25 before I’m 25. Edit: maybe more like 25 before I’m done being 25..? Does that count?
