On the night of my birthday, which was this past Monday, I finally wrote my list. I turned 22 this year, and for the past few years I kept saying I would write my _ _ Before _ _ list, but never did. But this is the year people! This year I did it and am determined to check off as many things as possible.
I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Like, if I don't get everything I'm sure I'll be bummed, but life goes on. With that said, that doesn't mean I'm not going to give it my all. And so I feel like I should document these things, and I'm sure I will with Iphone photos, videos, disposable cameras, and my memory (does memory count?), but then I remembered I have a blog. People start blogs to document things. So what better way to document my 22 Before 23 list than with this bad boy!? That's right, there isn't a better way. So here it is.
