20 things I want to accomplish before I turn 20

1.TRAVEL TO VENICE

I have always wanted to travel to somewhere outside of the US, especially Italy. My dad has been to Venice in Italy a few times and he has told me how beautiful it is their and it is known for it’s “Floating City”.

2. GET A JOB

When I work for something I always feel more prideful about it then it just being handed to me; same thing goes for money. I really like the idea of earning my own money, whether I babysit or work at Target I just want to feel more independent. If you are looking to get a job at Target, you can sign up here.

3.GET BETTER AT DRAWING

My entire life I have loved art. I would spend hours of my day in preschool just coloring and drawing, and I still have that passion for art. I have multiple sketchbooks filled with drawings and I love experimenting with my art style; and over time I hope and will learn and grow!

4.LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH

My mothers first language was Spanish and she was from Spain! Also, my stepmother and her family is from El Salvador and they all speak Spanish. I am already taking steps to this goal by taking Spanish classes. One site that helps me a lot with learning languages is Duolingo! You can visit their site here.

5.LEARN TO PLAY THE UKULELE

I already have a ukulele but I just have to take the time to learn to play it. I have never really been good with instruments. I took piano lessons when I was eight and I really didn’t like it, but the ukulele is a simple instrument and it would be nice to be able to play for my family!

6.LEARN TO BAKE

I have always had a sweet tooth and loved making things, and baking is the perfect thing to satisfy both of those desires! The main thing I love about baking is the special scents you smell when making everything. Something about baking is so nostalgic for me and it makes me so happy! You can find one of my favorite recipes here.

8.TRAVEL TO LONDON

Growing up and even now I love cities. London is located in the UK and I love everything about it! From its famous buildings to its bright red double decker buses. I really hope someday i’ll be able to go their and have a great time.

9. VOLUNTEER AT AN ANIMAL SHELTER

I’m pretty sure most people can agree that animals are one of the best things ever. Especially cats, though due to family members being allergic I can’t have a cat. But if I volunteer at a animal shelter I can spend time with cats and take care of them free of charge! If you are thinking of volunteering at a animal shelter in the possible future, click here.

10. LEARN TO DRIVE

Though I’m quite nervous about driving, it would be nice to be able to go anywhere I want without having to have someone drive me. I also feel as if it’ll give me a sense of freedom; and i’ll be able to drive when I’m moved out.

11. IMPROVE IN ACADEMICS

Ever since the start of 6th grade I’ve struggled in school a little more than what’s normal for me; especially recently. I do care about my grades so I want to improve a lot mainly because in high school is where it really starts to count.

12. TRAVEL TO CANADA

I love cold climates, winter is my favorite season. So Canada would be a great place to go! Quebec is one of Canada’s most populated areas, it’s also a French speaking province and it produces a lot of maple syrup.

13. READ MORE

Reading definitely has not always been my favorite thing to do, but I actually really enjoy it if the book is interesting and entertaining. Reading is also the fastest way to expand your vocabulary and it can reduce your stress by 68 percent.

14. STUDY PSYCHOLOGY

The way the brain works has always fascinated me. It is so intriguing and interesting to learn about. I’ve actually been thinking about taking it up at a possible career choice!

15. WORK ON MY SELF CONFIDENCE

This is mainly because next year i’m transferring to a new school and I am defiantly not good in the siltiest with making friends; or just interacting with people in general. I have always been pretty self conscious and its held me back from doing so many things. I know that if I improve on this school will be a lot more enjoyable for me!

16.PLAY THE ELECTRIC GUITAR 

This one will take a while to do, but it seems like such a cool instrument to learn how to play! My father has taken guitar lessons in the past and he seemed to really like it. If you are looking to take guitar lessons, click here.

17. GO TO COLLEGE

I’m not sure where exactly I want to go to collage at, but I know that I want to go.  I’ll be 17 when I graduate high school, and I want to be able to get out of my parents house as fast as possible.

18. TRAVEL TO FRANCE

France has such well known and beautiful architecture, like the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre Museum. It would be so much fun to go there and visit its famous art museums; or maybe go see it’s creepy Catacombs.

19. TRAVEL TO POMPEII

In the Campaign region of Italy, you will find the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. On the date August 24, 79 Ce, a ginormous eruption from Mount Vesuvius showered volcanic debris all over the city of Pompeii. It would be so cool to see the place where the historical event took place.

20. TRAVEL TO NEW ZEALAND

The main thing that I would like to see in New Zealand is the Hobbiton movie set tours. My father and I both really love the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, so this would be such a cool experience seeing the actual filming location. And it is so beautiful with all the green especially compared to dead dry Utah.
