24 Things to Do Before 25



      Inspired by Sewon's list and Marlou's list, (click their names to view their lists!) I decided to create my own list of things I would like to do before I turn twentyfive. It's nice to have little goals in life. I think that without their existence, many people wouldn't be where they are today. That said, I often set goals for myself in life, but never end up accomplishing them. Perhaps this time, by setting some more short term goals and making a list, I will be able to complete them! Now, without any further wait, here are the twenty-four things I want to have done before I turn twenty-five!

1. Start a teacup collection
2. Host an afternoon tea
3. Host a dinner party

4. Volunteer in a third world country
5. Attend a yoga retreat outside of Canada
6. Stay at a hostel during one of my travels

7. Sew together a stuffed animal
8. Exchange letters with my penpals for years to come
9.Complete my sketchbook

10. Grow my own herbs
11. Remake a pastry from my Laduree recipe book
12. Bake a loaf of bread

13.Visit an antiques market
14.Fold an origami rose
15.Knit something

16.Make a terranium
17.Publish a zine about teacups
18.Publish a zine about stars

19.Learn Elvish
20.Visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
21.Finish a videogame

22.Go stargazing with people I love
23.Improve my photo-taking skills
24.Keep a blog

And a little bonus: Climb Mt.Fuji in time to watch the sunrise from its peak!

Joyeux Noël and a Happy 2013!

Christmas was spent watching both seasons of Sherlock, having a wonderful dinner party with friends, and spending ten days in California. Alas, I ended up with the stomach flu near the end of Winter Break, but it has been a wonderful year, and I don't think I could have ended it any other way!








It had been a wonderful night filled with warm laughter and everlasting memories. If only the turkey hadn't been under cooked!
