Today is my 24th birthday. In the run up to the big two-four I've been thinking a lot about what I've achieved so far (a fair bit) and what there is left that I want to achieve (oh so much). As a lover of lists, goals and deadlines I've decided to create a list of 25 things I want to do before I turn 25 on 1st July 2015. As it is only a year I've tried to set myself reasonable goals but, inevitably, I got a bit carried away. Let's see how I do - I'm hoping that it being on the interwebz will help with the ol' motivation.
