30 Before 30


Welcome to my 30 Before 30 goals list. All goals that are in progress will be marked in BLUE, Completed goals will be in GREEN, and Failed or abandoned goals will be in RED.
  1. Become a healthy weight: This is always on my goals list, but this year it is more important than ever. I am the heaviest I have ever been and it's really beginning to impact my health, so I really need to work on it.
  2. Grow my YT enough for it to be my job: I guess this goes hand in hand with the next goal, but I want my YT to be earning me as much as my current job is, then I can quit my job and just do YT full time!
  3. Hit 100,000 Subscribers: Since starting my gaming YT in October 2016 I have managed to gain 3,000 subs, and I have friends that have way more than that, so I don't think it's unrealistic to believe that if I keep it up I will hit 100,000 in another 5 years time!
  4. Be planning on moving out: Tim and I moved into our own house last August and it's amazing having our own home, but in five years time I would hope that we have grown enough as a family (maybe with a kid or two) to outgrow this place and need something bigger. This is one I doubt I'll acheive until the last minute
  5. Become 80% Fluent in Spanish: The app I use to learn Spanish (Duolingo) tells me that I am currently 30% fluent in Spanish, so by next year I hope to be at least 80% if not 100% fluent in Spanish.
  6. Enter into the Race for Life again: Last year my goal was to beat my Race for Life time, however I didn't even manage to enter, so this year I'm going back to basics with this goal.
  7. Try a new exercise/sport: I am really keen to get fit, and I would absolutely love to take up a new sport, due to my seriously competitive nature I feel like it would help me get into exercise.
  8. Take a holiday outside of the UK: It doesn't have to be somewhere far away, and it doesn't even have to be a long holiday but I haven't left the UK since 2010... That is FAR too long ago.
  9. Keep up with my friends: I have so many friends (online and IRL) that I just don't keep up with enough... MUST TRY HARDER!
  10. Write at least 2 blog posts a month: My Youtube has definitely become my main focus, but I very much want to keep this blog alive, so I think at least two posts a month isn't too much to ask...
  11. Save some £ every month: This goal used to be save £100 a month, but that was just too unrealistic with how our life has been since we moved out of Tim's parents place, but as long as I save SOME money, even if it's £10 a month, I will be happy.
  12. Visit 10 new UK cities: I have 5 years to do this so I don't forsee this one being a problem!
  13. Keep practising my baking: Before Christmas I was baking every week, and my skills were really improving, I took a break for Christmas and haven't managed to get back into it yet.
  14. Finish the video games I own, and keep track of what I have completed: I have a huge list of video games sitting and waiting to be played/finished. I think I might make this a quarterly blog post so I can talk about what I have finished, what's on my list, and also what I thought of the games.
  15. Print Photos and Create a Photo Album/Scrapbook: Nowadays we take plenty of photos, and share them on social media, but how many of our memories do we print and keep close to us? I really want to make a photo album of my favourite photos.
  16. Use my DSLR more and learn how to use if properly: Along the lines of the goal above not only do I want to cherish my photos, but I want to take better photos.
  17. Go to at least one concert a year: I really don't go to enough concerts, and I love them, so I want to go to at least 5 more before I turn 30.
  18. See a West End Show: I have a long list of shows that I want to go and see in London, and I can't believe that I have reached the age of 25, and never been to see one. Top of my list are War Horse, Wicked, and Hairspray.
  19. Stay Sober: I have now been sober for an entire year, and I plan to keep it that way.
  20. Get a Tattoo?: This one has a question mark next to it because I am constantly on and off about whether I actually want to have a tattoo.
  21. Do a 'couples class' with Tim: Whether it be couples cooking, or something else, I think it would be great fun to do a class together!
  22. Get Married: Tim hasn't even asked me yet, but one would hope that after almost 4 years together that it might be on the cards at some point in the next five years!
  23. Go on a road trip, and SHARE the driving: Tim and I often go off for weekends away, but he always drives. I'd like to go on a proper road trip with him where we share the driving. Ideally a road trip across America, but do I see that happening this year? NOPE!
  24. Donate my hair to the Princess trust: This is something I have thought about doing for a LONG time, and my hair is already at the length requires to donate, but I want to grow it a little more so that I don't end up having to have my hair too short.
  25. Watch at least one film a week: There was a time when this wouldn't have even had to be a goal because I would watch a film a day, but now I do Youtube I don't have as much time to watch movies, so I need to try and catch up!
  26. Go swimming at least once a month: I love swimming, and when Tim and I lived in Newbury together I even used to go to aquarobics, I miss it so much!
  27. Get a new car: Last year my Renault Clip decided to breakdown literally two minutes from my house, the cambelt snapped, the engine potentially ruined. Since then it's been sitting on my parents drive waiting to be fixed by my mechanic brother, and in the meantime I have been driving a REALLY old corsa, which my uncle kindly gifted me. It doesn't have central locking, nor electric windows... but worst of all, no power steering, I want a newer car with all of these things...
  28. Make home improvements: We've lived in this house a year and we haven't so much as hung a picture up yet.. so I want to spend a little on making our mark on it!
  29. Visit America: I have been to America once, back in 2010, and I loved it! Tim and I desperately want to do an American road trip, we probably should do that before we have kids right...
  30. Have a child: When I was younger I always thought I wanted a child before I was 25, and now I am 25 I know I'm not ready yet. However I definitely want to have at least one kid before I am 30! That gives me a good five years!
