Being a Correspondent: 31 Things before Turning 31
Why 31? Well, 1 - I will be turning 30 on June 30th, which isn't too far away! 2 -
Some things I want to accomplish will be happening after June, and they are
important to me so I want to put them on this list. I debated for a long time about
whether or not to make this list. The idea that I must achieve this or that by an
arbitrary age seems ridiculous to me, but I do love lists.

I should tell you that I am someone who feels as though they have missed
out on something by not chronicling it somehow.
I have kept journals/diaries for years and take hundreds of pictures.
