363 days to go

Now, I know what you must be thinking now. For clarity's sake, I just turned 24 last Sunday (May 29th). So what is this picture of a 25th birthday cake doing here? Well today marks Day 2 of Year 24. Which means, I only have 363 more days to go before I turn 25. And I still have to check stuff off my "25 things to do before I turn 25" list. Sort of random things I have always wanted to try but have either never had the guts or resources to do so.

So, for posterity's sake, I am now publishing my list. Though still incomplete as of press time, I had scrapped several things off it. Suggestions would be most welcome as to those other things you think I should try before I reach the zenith of quarter life.

(in no particular order)

1.) Learn how to ride a bike
