the 24 of 24

As I will be turning 24 in a few minutes, when the clocks in Alaska strike 12 midnight, I have decided to post my 24 of 24 - a list of things I would like to accomplish in my 24th year of life. They are varied in difficulty level, and in category, but I hope that the next 365 days will allow many opportunities to try all of them (I mean, let's be honest, even if they were split evenly, I have more than two weeks to do each one). I'll try to post now and then on ones that I have achieved, and the ones that continue to elude me. But for now, without further ado:

The 24 of 24

1. Blog at least once a week

10. Successfully grow a garden
