Quarter Life Crisis

It has come to my attention that in 4 years I will be 25 years old. This wouldn't be so alarming if it didn't also recently occur to me that the last 4 years of my life have gone by in the blink of an eye.

Call me nostalgic, call it whatever you want. I call it my Quarter Life Crisis. It has prompted me to make one of those "25 before 25" lists. These are some goals which, unlike the 4 simple goals outlined late last year, I am absolutely determined to accomplish.

1. Apply to graduate school (which also means figuring out a possible career path... again)
2. Apply to Teach for America, or AmeriCorps, or the Peace Corps
3. Visit another foreign country
4. Go to the Mummer's Parade
5. Go to NYC in the Springtime
6. Live somewhere outside of Delaware
7. Read a whole book in one day

9. Have an apartment with a big comfy couch and a yellow kitchen
10. Get a job that I love and that matters
11. Learn how to crochet
12. Ask out a boy I like
