25 Things for My 25th Year – A list of things I want to accomplish before I turn 26 in March 2015
- Run a 10K
- Knit or crochet an afghan
Read an entire book in French – which means I’ll also be able to cross off “Learn the French passé simple”- Write a novella
- Make a website for someone else – any takers?
- Ski on the red slopes – Since ski season is just about over, I have some time to prepare myself ;)
- Visit the Ever After filming locations in the Dordogne region of France
Château de Hautefort
- Visit a new continent
Hold a movie marathon – BBC’s Pride and Prejudice or Star Wars Episodes I-VI? Hmm…- Visit the UK and Ireland – this has been on my bucket list for years and years
- Restore an old piece of furniture
Swim in the Mediterranean- Re-attemptmacarons
So they look like this
Join a club- Make all of the pins on my Pinterest craft board – I would have loved to do this with my To Be Read book list but let’s be realistic here…
See an opera and/or play- Volunteer somewhere
- Finish my Codeacademy courses – so I can #5 make a website for someone else :)
- Write thank you notes to all the teachers and professors who helped and encouraged me
Attend a masked ball or period-era ball or maybe just a really elaborately themed party
THIS! I want to do this so badly!
Find a new job – even though I enjoy being a teacher, it’s not what I want to make a career out of- Do something “dangerous” – meaning something I would usually avoid at all costs
- (along those same lines) Donate blood – I have a HUGE syringe phobia
- Take a couples course with Matt – cooking, dancing, candle-stick making…something along those lines ;)
- Start relearning piano
There you have it! Check back as I cross things off this bucket list; I’ll link up to each post :)

I like the idea of this list! (I join you in wanting to do several of them, and have been fortunate to cross off several of them in my years on this earth … but I think #19 is especially important!)
#19 is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now :)

Hey Maggie, just stopping by your blog for the first time and I LOVE this list!
I might have to do a 27 things for my 27th….I would do 26 but being that the year is half over for me, I’d be at a disadvantage!
If you get the chance to see Ireland, it is so beautiful!!!
P.S. Any pointers on starting up a blog, I’ve considered dabbling in one for fun :)
Hey Brittani! Thanks for your comment :)
Well, I started blogging so I could share all of my French adventures with my friends in the States, but along the way I also started blogging about books and I’ve made several online friends that way. So pick a hobby or interest you have, or even blog about where you live, and then connect yourself with other bloggers who share those interests and hobbies. Twitter is great for that, too :)

I love your list, very inspiring and I can TOTALLY relate to #23! I am deathly afraid of needles, i can barely look at a cartoon picture of one! Ever After is my favorite movie (my twin’s too) and we want to visit the castle so badly!
Thanks! Unfortunately I didn’t get to finish this list before my birthday, but I’m still planning on accomplishing some of these things :) Getting over my fear of needles happened this year since I was pregnant and didn’t really have a choice about all the poking and prodding. Now it’s not so bad.
