Happy Birthday to Me + 50 Life Goals

I’m so grateful for another year of life and while I have many emotions about entering the last year of my 20’s, I’m truly excited about what this year has in store. This year I’ve decided to create and share my 7-year Life Goals List, which is inspired by, Maya Elious. I like to put my goals and aspirations in writing because I find that doing so helps keep me accountable. When I saw that Maya created her Life Goals List, I was intrigued. I knew that I had to create one, with my own twist, for my next birthday. That said, here are my 50 Life Goals List to achieve in 7 years.
