30 in 30

In just 30 short days, one month I will turn 30 years old. dun dun dun, cue loud music and the realization that I am no longer a twentysomething, I'm very post undergrad, and well, old in my book. I have contemplated some sort of accomplish these things before I'm 30 and well I have done some of them, but then I came to the realization that why force myself to do things just because I'm turning a certain age.

Age is just a number. I don't feel old (unless you count when I'm in bed at 9pm on a Saturday night), I don't look old (y'all would tell me if I did, right?), gosh darn it I refuse to act old (again except said Saturday nights). So instead of try to do things just because I'm turning 30, I thought I would take time to relish in the top 30 coolest/funnest/craziest/stupidest things I've accomplished done in the past 30 years.
