Birthday List Update

I somewhat recently had my half birthday, so I thought I'd do an update post to see how far along I've come with my list of 18 things to do before 19. The things I have done are crossed out below:

1. Volunteer at an animal shelter
2. Call/contact all my relatives at least once and actually talk to them
3. Go to a concert!
4. Go camping without my family
5. Dye my hair and then cut it. Really. 
6. Get a job
7. Make a zine
8. Make my dorm beautiful!
9. Take a surfing class
10. Go on a road trip to Salvation Mountain and Nevada
11. Do the splits
12. Do the ancestry.com thing
13. Be a street performer for a day
14. Sing a lot, maybe join a band?
15. Make my Magic Box
16. Go to a rave
17. Go running twice a month
18. Draw or photograph seven beautiful portraits.

      Oh man, I've only done 4 out of 18 things in the last 6 months. Time to pick up the pace! I am planning on doing a few of these over summer when I have a little more time on my hands, including the road trip and camping. Most of these just haven't happened because of a lack of funds, materials, or mindfulness. However, now that I have a job I can actually do things like go to a rave or pay for a surfing class! Awesome! These next six months are obviously going to be action packed, and that's something to look forward to.
