19 things to do before I turn 20 Update!!

A lot of change has happened in my life in the past month - hence the lack of updates, I am sorry. I have had to chose whether to spend my limited free time with my friends, exercising, being creative or on the computer and the last option hasn't made it to my priorities. Uni workload has increased dramatically!!! 

Loving it, but so terribly stressed and busy at the same time. 

Anyhow...here is an update on my goals:

1. Start an Etsy Shop

2. Learn how to oil paint
3. Loose 5kg - 3 down 2 to go!!! Woot!!!!
4. Get all my family photos sorted and backed up
5. Read 15 novels
Currently reading ‘In Defense of Food’ which I am really enjoying. Haven’t been reading many books lately though as I have not had the time! L
1.5/15 novels completed.
6. Be able to run 10k (I can currently do 5)
DONE!!!!! Two weeks ago I officially was able to run 10km!!!! Yipeee!!!! So very proud of myself!
 7. Sort and declutter all my possessions
My Uni room is decluttered and neat…my home room not so much…
 8. Go Blonde
Done!!! On Tuesday I had a full head of blonde foils done!!! Was initially a bit scary, as I haven’t been this blonde for YEARS! Loving it though! I am still getting used to it…get a bit of a shock each time I look in the mirror! Hehe. Next time, I am hoping to get a little bit more gold through it, so it isn’t quite as ‘ashy’.
9. Start writing a book

Hasn’t progressed any further than my last update unfortunately. Too much Uni work, no spare time to write! Eeekk
 10. Explore 10 new parts of Melbourne
Done!!! I have made an effort to explore different suburbs in the last few months. Already feeling as though I know Melbourne much better now.
11. Save $2000 - Not progressing at all. Damn!
12. Attend 15 art exhibitions
Went to the John Brack exhibition and am planning to go to the Dali exhibit in the coming weeks.
13. Volunteer for a charity
14. Make 5 new friends
DONE!!! I have met lots of new people this semester and can proudly call at least 5 of them good friends! YAY!
 15. Attend an AFL football game
I don’t think this is going to happen this year unfortunately. My Dad and bro went to a game a few weeks back but didn’t think to buy tickets for me!
 16. Enroll for classes at the Alliance Francais
 17. Learn how to cook
Progressing. I have been experimenting with different recipes and food ideas as I am adopting a healthy diet.
 18. Have my fortune told
 19. Record my family history - Haven’t had any time to progress with this goal since last update.


So 4 goals are currently completed and the majority of the rest are well on their way!!! YAY!!!! Going well!!! It is exciting to see that I actually have accomplished a fair amount of stuff in the last few months, even with all the chaos in my life! lol

Oh don't feel so bad about abandoning things like this! Being with your friends is a much better way to spend your time! I should know, I've been doing the whole study thing for almost 6 years.

Glad to see you've done a few things on your list. I think I may do a list for myself....

Well done on achieving your goals! I'm thinking of doing up my own list soon now that work will hopefully start winding down a bit. I'd love to be a bit fitter and healthier by Christmas and I'm currently trying to de-clutter my bedroom and purge stuff I don't use anymore!

Enjoy your time at uni while you can cos it goes fast! I miss having random days off during the week!
