30 on 30: Things I want to do before I turn 30

• 

Here’s things I want to do before I clock into the dirty 30’s…so help me God.

Its still a few years before I hit 30…oh wait! Who am I fooling, at the end of the year; it will be 2 years until the big 30 (and that’s not few) and I am not freaked out about it, nor am I thrilled, I’m just… meh. But I have heard somewhere that getting older comes with good things and I kind of agree, so in that spirit, I definitely cannot wait to see what the 30s will bring.

So, whatever your next big number you’re about to hit is, please leave a comment on what it is that you want to do, whatever it may be…maybe a girl can steal some ideas *wink* *wink* But in the meantime, here are the things I want to do before I hit 30.

This is it from me. What are the things that you want to do on your next big age? Also, guys, how are we already half way through the year? Sheeesh…

• Write a book: this has been in the pipeline for a year now. I am working on it; I am nervous about it and I definitely lack discipline to follow my writing schedule BUT I will deliver…soon, I hope.
• Travel: In my wildest dream…by 30 I would have gone to Kenya because God forbid, I die before I set my foot in that beautiful country. Also, Zimbabwe is a beautiful country with many places to visit; I’ll put #zimbho to use.
• Do my masters:  School has never been my favourite but it must happen and it will happen before 30.
• Have a kid: What am I even waiting for????!!!!
• Try Sushi: I’ll probably do this with my #BFF. I am not sure if she’s tried it before but this girl, we are doing together, I thank you.
• Join the gym: I like exercising and I have tried to do it at home on my own but baby girl lacks discipline. Maybe gym will help? I want to be a fit 30 something year-old.
• Take up hobbies: Sure, I sleep and I blog but between now and the time I reach 30 I want to take up new hobbies…photography maybe, I don’t know.
• Learn another language: Imagine me with my lisp speaking French? I will do it regardless.
• Go on a solo date: I know fully well that I will hate it. I enjoy people’s company and I definitely enjoy eating with people. I will hate it but I will do it. I mentioned last year that I want to try it out but I still haven’t. I will and I will come back with a feedback post.
• Learn more about alcohol: I am no alcoholic, but I do take alcohol. I am fascinated mostly by gin, wine and Zambezi…never has been a secret. I want to learn mostly about wine and just the basics about it. Not only will I be a mini (wannabe) sommelier but I will also be cool…admit it.
• Sign up for medical aid and funeral policy: I really need to get this aspect of my life in order. Hello Sahwira mukuru, wassup?
• Invest in a good travelling bag: not that I am doing a lot of travelling now or any travelling really. But when I do, sis needs to be ready right? And I don’t think my family is willing to continue lending me their bags forever. Kenya here I coooome!
• Go on a weekend away with (girl)friends: Even if we get wasted the entire time…isokhey.
• Go camping: more like glamping rather. I don’t see myself and my husband setting up a tent and having to deal with mosquitoes and God knows what else. I am a scaredy cat so glamping sounds more like it. 
• Volunteer for a cause I believe in: this will probably be something that has to do with cancer. I have over the years participated in the Bonsa Spar cancer walks but I want to do more.

• 

• Try and know more about my family: As someone who is trying for a baby, I AM JOKING; but knowing my family history is important for me and the babies yet to come – how else will the next generations know?
• Move out: I can’t believe it but yep, it gots to happen! I have to learn to make a life of my own. Yoh!
• Start saving: I don’t know how that is supposed to happen in this hell hole that I live in where I earn peanuts but supposed to make it work somehow. Aren’t we all super heroes? But, yeah, by 30 I should have started on the journey. Learning about money management whilst at it will also be a good thing to do…God knows I need it. 
• Get inked: I have the slightest idea what it will be but I am still looking around and thinking of something that will still have meaning to me even when I hit my 50s.
• Become politically aware: By 30 I need to brush up my political awareness. Just to know, be in the light of what is happening in my country and abroad.
• Be self-satisfied: I think I have been doing good in this regard and I need to keep at it. Remember: accept the reality and keep moving on.
• Break a bad habit: my mission is to nip it in the bud. Its still work in progress. There’s a load of them, the bad habits…but one stresses me the most. Story for another day.
• Breathe: And by this I mean celebrating the little achievements. Small goals feed into the big ones. I want to cherish the things that make me smile, happy, sad, and the memories its created.  It is all that I have and what I am after all.  
• Join a book club: Please lead me to where the book clubs at.
• Improve my morning routine: ‘Improve’ is not even the right word to use. I do not have a morning routine. See, I am almost always asleep the whole mornings and even though my love for sleeping is no secret; it also doesn’t help that I have a job that requires my expertise at night. But even if that is the case, I do wish to have a morning routine.
• Collect art: So, I know art is expensive lol but I want to have a collection. I have started on the journey as I got myself a piece last month – huge THANKS to the Art Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo which had a sale.

• Publish that post: I have a draft post in my back end from 5 years ago. Since then; 05 April 2016, I haven’t been able to bring myself to even reread it. This is one thing I will do before hitting the big 30…hopefully I will still be blogging then.
• Get pink hair: I am so bleaching my hair pink! Or maybe purple? Hmmm
• Go hiking: I so wanted to do this last year. If you know any hiking places in Bulawayo, please let me know and get me hiking shoes whilst at it (these are the two reasons why I didn’t get to do it). By the time I hit 30 I want to have hiked somewhere in South Africa. I hope my boyfriend is reading this.  
• FALL IN LOVE: I am joking, I already got that covered. But definitely by 30…I will be starting to work on my dream of a publishing firm or something like that.

This is it from me. What are the things that you want to do on your next big age? Also, guys, how are we already half way through the year? Sheeesh…
