A Final Look at 21 Before 21

In April of 2010, I set 21 goals to achieve before my 21st birthday, which is: tomorrow! You can see all of my 21 before 21 posts by clicking here.

Here is the short version:

1. Bake homemade bread
2. Take a sign language class
3. Read a book just for fun
4. Buy a house
5. Reupholster a piece of furniture (in progress)
6. Plant a garden
7. Make cake icing out of avocados
8. Get an internship
9. Write a pros and cons list for future careers
10. Go on a weekend away
11. Perform a random act of kindness
12. Build Dmitri a play kitchen (in progress)
13. Write a love letter
14. Scrapbook from July 2009-July 2010 (in progress)
15. Build a piece of furniture "from scratch"
16. Take a practice GRE test (decided against it)
17. Perfect a whole wheat sugar free cookie recipe
18. Create a budget and follow it
19.Face a fear.
20. Blog about it
21. Start a compost

The Final Tally:

Completed:16
In Progress: 3
Aborted: 1
Unrealistic: 1

All in all, I feel pretty good about it.

As fun as it was to have a vision for the year and goals that I wanted to achieve, this next year I think I'm going to change it up a little bit:


Two Before Twenty-Two

1. Give birth to baby # 2
2. Graduate from college

And there you have it.
