done and done

The list goes on! I am still trying to tackle my "Before I'm 21" list, but have realized (through my friends) that I have already accomplished some of them!

11. Sing karaoke in public.
-I did this one with my cousin's cousin, Shane Johnston. It was like 5 years ago, and we all went to some pizza place in Provo that had pizza and karaoke (because naturally, pizza and karaoke go together). We sang "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice and we were dang good.

15. Read the Book of Mormon.
-I am half and half on this one. When the prophet came out with the challenge to read the whole Book of Mormon a few years ago, I did it with my family. However, I haven't done it by myself, so I'm not sure if I should count it or not. I haven't decided yet. I think I'm going to count it because I did read it!

16. Kiss a stranger.
-No comment...

17. Make a scrapbook.
-My friend Hannah reminded me of my fahsion binder! It's something I am actually really proud of. I have been working on it since I was 15, and I get teased for it a lot, but I think it is really cool. I like to buy magazines to get clothing ideas. It helps me figure out new ways to wear my clothes, or what will be stylish in the upcoming season. I love to cut out anything that looks chic. And it has become quite a big binder, so yeah, I'd consider it a scrapbook!

19. Ride on a motorcycle.
-Not only did I ride a motorcycle my freshman year of college, but I learned how to drive one! My friend Andrew had a motorcycle and he let me ride it! It was terrifying, but so fun.

So I'm not as far away from finishing as I thought I was, although I still have a ton of stuff to do.

not all of my lists are stupid...

At the beginning of the summer, I had to move into a new apartment in my complex because my managers said they were going to turn my apartment into a boys apartment (which, for the record, they let girls live there. So I moved out for no reason. Don't even get me started on them.) So while I was packing up my old bedroom, I went through a lot of my stuff, trying to decide what I coud throw away. I found a ton of papers everywhere, and one of the papers I came across was a list I made when I was about 15 or so of 21 things I wanted to do before I turned 21. (Now, I know most everyone in my family that reads this will make fun of that last sentence because I am a cumpolsive list maker, but this is actually a good one!) And since I will be 21 in September, I decided it would be fun to go through the list and see how much I had accomplished. And I was so sad to see how little I had accomplished! Here is the list of things I thought would be important/fun to do before I turned 21:

1. Take a road trip with friends.
2. Learn a song on the guitar.
3. Save $1000.
4. Say "I love you".
*5. Learn to drive stick shift.
6. Milk a cow.
*7. Truly forgive someone.
8. Go to a drive-in movie.
*9. Do my own laundry.
*10. Ride a horse.
11. Sing karaoke in public.
*12. Leave the country.
*13. Eat sushi.
*14. Learn a song in another language.
15. Read the Book of Mormon.
16. Kiss a stranger.
17. Make a scrapbook.
18. Go to a concert.
19. Ride on a motorcycle.
20. Learn how to make bread.
*21. Own a piece of designer clothing.

*-finished!

So as you can see, I have quite a bit to do and not much time to do it. But I think it would be really fun to try and do everything on this list! So, here goes....hopefully I can do it all! I will update on everything and try to take pictures of them all!
